Make this a 100 Christmas!
ifs easy if you cheese
the right gift
" "LTOW few Christmas gifts have any permanent value! Meat of
them last hardly mere than six months. Yet you always
spend a great deal of money at this season and you frequently feel
that the money is all but wasted.
This year why net cheese the wonderful new Encyclepaedia
Britannica? The Britannica in one of its beautiful bindings is
splendidly appropriate te the Christmas season. Best of all. it
will prove of ever-increasing value and usefulness for years te come.
Many recent purchasers tells us that this Christmas beyond all
ethers they want te present the Britannica te a friend or te their
own household. The reason is this: With the addition of the Three
New Volumes, making thirty-two in all, the Encyclepaedia Bri
tannica surely the greatest book in the world next te Shakes
?eare and the Bible has been brought completely down te date,
'his element of timeliness must-make a very great appeal.
rA century of change in ten years
Think, for example, of the stupendous changes that have been
wrought. by the last ten years. War and revolution have swept
the world. Kings and monarchs by the score have lest their
thrones, and new republics have sprung up overnight te take their
places. The conditions of your life, of your business, all have
been fundamentally altered. In business, for example, such
factors as raw materials, prices, wages, methods of marketing,
in fact all the elements that constitute modern industry and
commerce have undergone radical readjustment. Te learn about
these changes political, social and industrial is a fascinating
study, and vitally necessary tee, if you want te get the most out
of your life and the biggest success out of your business.
Yet there is nowhere except in the Encyclepaedia Britannica
new offered in the Twelfth and latest edition that you can obtain
this sort of information ; nowhere certainly that you can find it
told with the interest, accuracy and impartiality for which the
Britannica has been famous for generations.
Wouldn't it be a splendid idea te make a present of the Ency Ency
ceopaedia Britannica te your own home? Is there anything that
the children or the grown-ups, for that matter, need mere, or that
would enhance the beauty and dignity of your library te a greater
extent, or that would be of mere lasting benefit and value?
On some previous Christmas you may have presented your
family with an expensive musical gift a piano, perhaps. Yeu felt
that a home without music was incomplete. Music is essential.
The finest gift you could make
In hundreds of thousands of American homes it is new realized that n set
of the Encyclepaedia Britannica is even mere essential, mere trulv essential,
since it gives net only entertainment but knowledge the kind of ' knowledge
which yields the highest returns in the successful conduct of life. Yeu will
be Interested te knew that a set of the Britannica, beautifully printed en India
paper and beautifully bound, whether you cheese cloth or leather, can be pur
chased for a fraction of the cost of a geed piano, while payments can be spread
ever a year and a half if you be desire.
The Encyclepaedia Britannica is the cheapest book in the world. Its thirty
two volumes contain fifty million words sufficient te make 476 ordinary books
if printed in the ordinary way. Yet the Encyclepaedia Britannica costs one
tenth as much. In np ether work will you find the quintessence of the world's
knowledge, the complete story of human prepress, told by mere thnn 2000 dis
tinguished men and women, each an expert in his own field, and told with thut
Interest and authority which has given the Britannica its woild-wide reputation.
