THE remarkable bargain we are. offering can last only a
little while longer. The contracts for the 'Handy
Volume" Issue were made before the war began.
The drastic Increase In the cost of raw materials makes
It Impossible to renew them. Paper haa advanced over Z5
per cent leather more than 2S per cent fclndera' board
49 per cent, etc.
After the sets now on haad are exhausted, the publisher
cannot supply any more at the present low prices.,
put whether you want the Encyclopaedia Britannica now
or not, send for this really surprising and Interring book.
