by covering of ahorts and other buying. A
prominent feature was pressure on Decem

The sellers of the former option largely

The market at Liverpool was dull, but
firm. There were further reports of rust

conducted a large Jobbing establishment
on the present site of tne Philadelphia

In 189 the firm wound up Its affair
and young Doll had a chance to acquire
tho business, but saw greater possibilities,
and the ear fo.lowlng entered the service

belleed to be the largest retail toy de
partment In the world. He also organised
the same department In the Wanamaker

No matter
who wins
our "next
president"
will use the
Britannica
Both President Wilson and Mr. Hughes read and rely on the new
Encyclopaedia Britannica
and almost every President, beginning with George Washington,
has used some earlier edition of the Britannica.
Great responsibility rests on the President of the
United States. He must have an accurate knowl-
edge of affairs, domestic and foreign. He must
keep well informed generally, and must either
know things or know where to find out about them.
Therefore the fact that the "next President"
(whoever wins) uses the Britannica, relies on it
and quotes it (as did most of his predecessors),
is concrete evidence of the practical value of thi3
great work. '
You
need the new Britannica as much as
does the President of the United
