They woro still discussing tho question

Before it is Too Late ?
Every business man, every buyer, every housewife, knows how rapidly prices
are rising. In all that goes to the making of books, this rise has been especially
marked.
, Many kinds of paper have doubled. Some kinds of ink have gone up even more. Some
kinds of leather as, for example, the morocco used for one of the most popular bindings of
the Encyclopaedia Britannica are now almost unobtainable. Even the paper boards used
in binding having increased 50. ''
One result of this increase is that we can obtain no more sets of the "Handy Volume"
Issue of the Britannica at anything like present costs. After the number contracted for
before the war began is exhausted we shall be able to continue the sale only if we increase
"the prices from 11 for the cheapest binding to $19 for the most expensive. And there
is no certainty that we can obtain a"ny large number oven at these higher prices.
Sets now on hand are going rapidly. In some n
of the bindings only a small number now remain.
If you do hot order your set of the Britannica now, it will cost you a
great deal more later; and you may have to wait a good while for it.
The'New Way
With the remarkable offer which we make you cannot go wrong in sending your order
now. If the books are not exactly what you want, if for any reason whatsoever you want
to send them back, we will refund your money and the shipping charges both ways.'
