That's the safest way. You can't go wrong. You take no risk. We take all re sponsibility. This is our offer: You aend us a single dollar. We ship you the books. Then we allow you three toee'k.s in which to examine them, use them, find out their value to you. If then, for any reason Whatsoever, you wish to return the booki. you may do so and your money is refunded with freight charges both ways. Our remarkable offer of the new "Handy Volume" Issue has brought the Britannica within the reach of thousands of persons who never dreamed of owning it before; and likewise of thou sands of persons who do not know its everyday value in the everyday home. We want them to know it. We want you to know it. So we make an offer that has never before been made on this incom parable work of reference. It costs you nothing to examine the books. You do not have to make up your mind to buy. now. You have three weeks for that; after you get the books. But you should not wait to send in your order. Some of the bindings, especially the morocco leather, are now very hard to obtain and only a small number of sets remain. ' We cannot guarantee to fill all orders received up to the date named. All you have to do is to cut out the order form below, mark it, sign it, and send it with a single dollar. Are You Hesitating ? TIME is a PIRATE always at your elbow, threatening, bullying, forcing you to a decision. Most people, not very strong of will, let things go. They can't decide. They hesitate and lose out.
