It is understood tlmt complications which
havo arisen owing to tho Teuton Govern

President Wilson's envoy has already

naturally be better, and there would

you feel when we suggest a new elcc

switch from the old to the new. Right
here let us say that we don't want you
to change unless you feel certain, after
a preliminary trial, that it would be
well worth your while to become a

To Intending Buyers:
When we arranged to offer the new Eleventh
edition of The Encyclopaedia Britannica in a
"Handy Volume" issue at an amazing reduction
in the price, we naturally anticipated an enor
mous sale.
We contracted with the publishers that when
we started our advertising early in January, they
should have completed and ready, 50,000 sets,
printed on the same grade of India paper as the
higher-priced Cambridge University issue.
We believed that this enormous order of
50,000 sets a total of 1,450,000 volumes
would suffice for the year of 1 916.
We began our advertising in the newspapers
of the country on January 10-14. The orders,
which began at the rate of 40 or 50 a day, quickly
rose to nearly 700 per day, and by the time this
notice can be printed will be probably be 1,000
per day.
We therefore

us, and that in a short time further orders

will have to go upon a waiting list.
We strongly advise anyone who does
not wish to wait a long time for his set to
send his order at once.
Even if you do not wish to have the set
delivered until next December, as a Christmas
gift, w? suggest that in order to make sure of
getting the books just when you want them, you
send us the dollar now so that a set can be re
served for you.
If you wish to pay cash in full when delivery
is made, we will" give you the full cash discount
at that time. If you wish to buy the books on the
