Two Remarkable Things
that have happened
The greatest reference work in the world, which
used to be in large cumbrous volumes heavy to handle
has been reduced in size to fit any library or drawing
room (unabridged by a word or a line).
And
the cost has been reduced so as to bring it within the
reach of every home. The price is no longer a bar.
You can own it, now, if you act promptly.

Why You Need
You do not belong to tho 20th century if you have not in your home a
quick and authoritative work of reference to settlo every question which
may come up, and inform you about any desired fact or thing.
Your school or college education has been wasted if you have not the
ready means and tho habit of recalling, fixing, broadening, applying, tha
things you have learned.
There is in English only one great exhaustive encyclopaedia of all knowl
edge without a rival for a century and a half tho oldest encyclopaedia,
now in its latest edition the nt west the Encyclopaedia Britannica.
"With the Encyclopaedia Britannica in your home, the worth of your
school or college education is not merely doubled, or tripled; it is multiplied
twenty, forty times. '
"With the Encyclopaedia Britannica as a daily guide you have no need
for a college education; it is in itself a "liberal education in tho best sense."
But hitherto this work has been only for tho few, who could afford to
pay a high price $150 to $250 for the new Eleventh Edition.
In the new "Handy Volume" issue of the new Eleventh Edition, the
cost has been so reduced that we are able to sell the complete work for one
third the price of tho higher priced issue.
And we send you the complete work the entire 29 volumes for a first
payment of one dollar.
You Take No Risk
Get this fixed firmly In your mind, This is the complete nevy Eleventh Edition ot
ma Encyclopaedia Britannica, which cost a million and a half dollars simply to prepare,
and involved the investment before a single copy wsb sold of more than $4,000,000.
The "Handy Volume" issue is Identical in contents, page for page, line for line.
.ith the higher-priced issue.
It is the new Eleventh Edition unabridged, unchanged all for a first payment of
nnn dollar now, and then small monthly payments for a short time. Yours to use and
nloy all the while. Isn't this an amazing achievement and an amazing offerT It in
voives our loaning to the public several million dollars in cash.
Our guarantee goes with every set sold. When you have the 29 volumes In your
nnms and are using them, then if you are not fully satisfied, you may return them to
us any time within three weeks and we will pay til shipping charges and send you
back your dollar.
The Old-Fashioned and the New
The left hand pile shows tbs 29 volumes of the Knclyclopaedla Britannica printed on ordinary booK
