In Three Minutes
There are a million homes, perhaps two or three million, in the United
States homes of eager wide-awake people, eager to know things for them
selves, eager for larger opportunities, for themselves, for their children
in which the Encyclopaedia Britannica would be welcome.
IBut from $16G to $250 for a single set of books is a nearly prohibitive
price for the great majority of people. And that is what the new Eleventh
Edition of the Britannica, in the Cambridge University issue, costs. So
we arranged v ith the publishers of the Britannica to make for us a new
"Handy Volume" 'issue, at a price which would bring it within the reach of
at least a million homes. We could do this only by contracting for an enor
mous printing which brought great economies in the manufacture.
Of course, it had to be the new Eleventh Edition absolutely complete
unabridged by a single line; in brief, the work which had cost a million
and a half of dollars for the editorial preparation alone.
That it is the new Eleventh Edition line for line the same as the Cambridge
University issue we guarantee absolutely. (See below.)
By making this huge contract we were enabled to offer the new
issue at one-third the price of the larger-paged volume. o
(Yet many who see the two issues side by side in the stores or in the ?J
libraries actually prefer the "Handy Volume" Issue.) $$
And we send you the complete work the entire 29 vo- vov
umes upon a nrst payment or a single aoiiar. Aiier inai q
easy monthly instalments to complete your purchase. &
But much more. - $
Buying a work of the importance of this a whoje
great reference library in itself, is not a light matter, A
You want to be perfectly sure. You want to be &
satisfied. And we want you satisfied. So gr
After you have received tho books, in your
own horn e, we give you the privilege of making A
the fulleet examination you and all your $T)
family using the books all you want to. Ana
then at the end of three weeks if you make
up your mind, for any reason whatso-
ever that you do not want to keep the s
brinks vou mav return them to UB
and we will not only refund you A

The A B C of it
The first edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica was published 148 years
ago 8 years before the American Revolution 21 years before the French
Revolution and just as steam and steel and electricity were beginning to
create a new world. ,
The forty years which followed were troublous times the days A
when France, led by its military genius, dreamed of the conquest of fjf
Europe perchance of America as well.
Then came the great era of PEACE. For more than a century the three
great powers, England, France and the United States, have been at peace
among themselves. So had England, Germany and the United States.
Since 1815, the one struggle in Europe which outlasted a year was that in the
Crimea. (Tho Franco-Prussian War was virtually over in six weeks, the war
between Prussia and Austria in three weeks.)
Most people had come to believe that the Dark Ages of resort to war had
been banished. They were wrong. War came.
War always spells inflation, high prices, dearer goods.
Everyone knows how many commodities dyes, drugs, chemicals, metals
and the like have risen since the war began. The same thing has
& come in the printing and binding trades.
Many kinds of paper have doubled in price and many binding
) leathers as well. (Some are almost unobtainable.) TBTfe

the Encyclopaedia Britannica. It means buy
