Nice omnibus edition, undated but likely circa 1930, of four titles from popular boys series. In order: Sainsbury's "Billy Smith Exploring Ace" from "The Great Ace Series" (first published 1928), Rockwood's "Through the Air to the North Pole or The Wonderful Cruise of the Electric Monarch" from "The Great Marvel Series" (first published 1906), Baker's "The Boy Ranchers or Solving the Mystery at Diamond X" from "The Boy Ranchers Series" (first published 1921) and Chadwick's "Baseball Joe of the Silver Stars or The Rivals of Riverside" from "The Baseball Joe Series" (first published 1912). Clearly compiled for the broadest boy appeal -- series focusing on aviation, exploration, cowboys and baseball! Rather uncommon.
