THE SCEANTON TRIBUNE-MONDAY MORNING. FEBRUARY 19. 1894.
URING hard times consumers
cannot afford to experiment
with inferior, cheap brands of bak
ing powder. It is NOW that the
great strength and purity of the
ROYAL stand out as a friend in need
to those who desire to practise Econ
omy in the Kitchen. Each spoonful does its per
fect work. Its increasing sale bears witness that
it is a necessity to the prudent it goes further.
N R
Grocers say that every dollar in
vested in Royal Baking Powder is
worth a dollar the world over, that it
does not consume their capital in dead
stock, because it is the great favorite,
and sells through all times and seasons.

WHY HESITATE?
Do Hot Foolishly Wait Until the Closing
Day.
From the number of names added
daily to the long list of subscribers to
the Eucyolopedla Brltannioa, it is fair
to conclude that there are many yet to
oome. Why hesitate longer to call and
give your order? The regular price at
which it is ottered, together with the
liberal terms of payment, preclude the
possibility of any one pleading poverty
as an excuse for not furnishing himself
or his family with this incomparable
edncational work. You oan afford a
fund of knowledge which is abso
lutely unavailable from any other
source tweuty five large volumes,
over 22,000 pages and about 10,000 il
lustrationsa history of each and ev
ery oountry, ancient or modern ; a his
tory of eaoh state in the union, together
with the latest map of that country or
state; the life of every great man or
woman who lias lived since history be

plained and illustrated; the history,
nature and habits, with illustrations,
of every creature in the animal crea
tion, from bumble bee to a buffalo, to
gather with the description of every
plant and flower in the vegetable king
dom. The president of Yale college has
said that it wonld require 3,000 vol
umes from the world's publications to
procure all this information. With
the proper use of the alphabetical con
tents and marginal references and in
dex it becomes the most convenient of
Encyclopedias. Not merely the salient
points are given, but a full treat
ment of tbe subject, rendering it
a complete library in the home
with but few books. You must
have seen a friend's books as hundreds
have been provided with them, and
they can be seen at any time at 487
Sprues street. On receipt of $4.30 tbe
entire set will be delivered tbe bal
ance in easy monthly payments.
The offer must soon be withdrawn.
But a short time remains in which to
avail yourself of the price and easy
terms of payment, which means the
securing or the work.
