AE
, RE you one of those who do not own a set of the new
. and wonderful EncvcloDaedia Britannica because
you thought you couldn't afford it?
Have you wanted this splendid library of facts ever
since you first heard about it, but never inquired how
easily it could be purchased?
This book would give you a tremendous advantage.
If you know anything about it, you know that. Think,
too, what it would mean to you, to your children, to
have access to the cum and substance of all human
knowledge! Consider what a satisfaction it would be
to have at hand the answer to every question which
comes to an active min,d I
The Britannica covers the whole range of man's
thought and activity and achievement it contains
more than 41,000 special articles, more than 600,000
indexed facts.
Both for profit and pleasure, the
E
ncydopaedia oritanni
" Handy Volume " Issue
13 one of t'no best investments nny ambitious mnn or woman can
make. Not only is it the most complete and best edited work of
reference ever published, but its authority on every subject is
unim"'" ! l The Britannica is more often quoted than any
otlv kind.
1 :ribo its scope is impossible. It contains hun-
dreu. .idreds of articles on religion, philosophy, history,
biography, art, science, literature, manufacture, invention, engi
neering, lawf physics, education, commerce and scores of other
subjects 41,000 articles in all. It abounds in, practical, every
day, useful facts that satisfy the inquisitiveness of the child mind,
that enlighten the housewife, tho farmer, the business man, the
investigator, the educator, the lawyer every class.
One feature about the Britannica is its interesting style it
entertains as well as instructs, It is so fascinating that the mind
readily retains the facts presented.
The best proof of its usefulness is that men and women in all
walks of life are among the 150,000 owners of the new Eleventh
Edition.
You don't own tho Britannica ! Why not ?
You know better than we what it would mean to you and your
children to always be able to find out whatyou wanted to know
about anything about everything.

the famous India paper. War has shut off thoaupply of tho
raw material for making India paper no more is procurable.

the features of the new Britannica. It has made this great work
more convenient to handle henco more inviting to read.
India paper is made of a'particular kind of flax produced In
Germany, England and Belgium. War has so crippled the flax
industry that It will be years before India paper can be produced
even in fair-sized quantities.
This condition finds us with only a limited number of sots of
the Britannica, on the famous India paper, on hand.
These seta are offered at prices and terms which make the
Britannica a bargain to any one who, like you, does not yet
own a set. But you mut act quickly.
