Perhaps you say that you have got along without it for a long time. That is just what your grandfather probably said about the telephone. Can you afford to do without it any longer? Who would want to do without running water or telephone service after once having them, even if his home had been without them for years before? Practical, everyday pcqple who have used the Bri tannica say: " How did we ever get along without the nctc Drilannical" Or they call it "The most useful Ihing that ever came into the house." A Many-Sided Service The Britannica differs from other utilities in being useful and necessary in more ways than any other 'one thing you can have in the house. It gives you the benefit of the best expert advice in every- field nnd on even' subject. The Britannica service makes you more efficient. It helps you do your own work quicker and better it is concentrated, storcd-up energy, a store-house of live, valuable information, a true "power-house." Because it supplies you with the means of saving time, trouble and energy. The Britannica puts at vour service expert advice as the telephone connects you with your physician. You need it for the unforeseen emergency as well as for the countless everyday things' that you know you want help on. All the difficulties that can present themselves to you are problems other people have had to meet. Men and women the world oyer have worked, each of them for years, some of them their whole lives, to solve these problems. Their experience is in the Britannica for you to profit by. They arc at your call when you have the Britannica. For Si down and 10 cents a day for a few months you may own this wonderful service. It is as if for that small sum you could call by telephone the best authority or expert in the world to answer any question that came up, to give you advice on any sub ject you wanted IicId on! Do You Want Help in Your Day's Work? You can get it in the Britannica just as many other people have done. For instance, a. North Carolina cotton broker said that the article on Cotton was" worth ' the price of the whole set. A New York lawyer got just the information he needed in a lawsuit about iron and steel. He couldn't find it anywhere else or get it from his client who manufactured car-couplers. A manufacturer of flavoring extracts learned from the Britannica enough about his own business to save the., cost of the whole set. (He and txerynf till miW in IM pjratrafh faiJ at lean three limes as much as you need fay for tne Bnlanmea), Do You Want Help at Home? Planning a house or remodeling one, studying decora, lion or ventilation, you get expert advice and valuable suggestions from the Britannira. Equally useful is what you will get from this same wonderful, all-around service on the care of babies and .children, food, diet, cookery, rules for health, directions for-first aid to the injured, study aids and supplementary reading for school boys and girls and for young men and women in college, An oner of the Britannica, ho tern in Denmark, uy$: "In my country instead ol 'encyclopaedia' e y 'familjebok,' that i 'family book, I he Untannica nan weai lamuy cook. Improvements in Service Other utilities have been improved, cheapened and made more convenient by long and gradual processes, so that we hardly, notice the change. The service of the Britannica has been improved wonderfully fast in the last few years, The- new eleventh edition with more in it and of better quality has been sold right along at a lower price than previous editions, and quality and quantity considered, at a lower price than apy other encyclopaedia. Now the lmore convenient and compact "Handy Volume" issue of the pew edition is offered for 64 less than the FREE BOOKLET COUPON big-volume form It Is Three Times a Easy to Buy and just as valuable because it contains every thing in the set that costs three times as much. The Utility is More Usable The new Britannica is the; first encyclopaedia to appear in a form that is npt repellent, awkward and in convenient. The word "encyclopaedia." like the phrase "unabridged dictionary," probably brings to your mind's eye a picture of a heavy, cumlcrsomc volume or shelf after shelf of such volumes, The "Handy Volume" Britannica, printed on India paper, light, thin, strong and opaque, changes all that. The volumes are only an inch thick and the page is only 8j inches high and 6J inches wide not as big as a magazine page, instead of being as big as the page of an unabridged dictionary. A "Handy Volume" weighs only ai ounces (1 lb, 5 oz.). That is a good deal less than the average weight of a novel. It is about one-sixth the weight of a volume of the encyclopaedia printed on heavy paper and with the o!d-fash;-Jicd, awkward, big pages. But everything in the bis, awkward volume is in the light, attractive "Handy Volume" which costs 6 1 less. It is exactly as useful because it has the full 100 of the contents of the bigger set, and much more usable because in smaller compass. M Ulltr ttnttfj b, Stl, Roetnct ami Ce I HARVARD LAW SCHOOL CAMBRIDGE, MASSACHUSETTS Nov. 15, 1015 Gentlemen: The new form of the eleventh edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica is nothing less than mar velous. To put that great work in such small com pass and in so.uscful a form Is of Itself an achieve ment; to do so dnd yet make a page which I can certify is no more trying to a pair of bad eyes than the original edition, is a landmark in bookmaking.
