NO REDTAPE DISTRIBUTION
Simplicity of Plan Meets With Public
Approval in Star-Independent's
"The Nations at War"
When the Star-Independent first con
templated the presentation ot' the fa
mous volume, "The Nations at War,"
to its readers on practically a gratis
basis, it rejecteu every plan which
would render it difficult or expensive
for its readers to own this valuable lit
erary work.
The sole desire was to place within
easy reach of every man, woman and
child the means of securing this, the
Jirst authentic history of the tirst six
months of the great Kuropeau war with
out trouble, expense or red tape, and
testimonial of its success is shown by
the great number of appreciative read-*
ers who have availed themselves of the
privilege.
There is no club, no paid-in-advance
subscription requirement, no promise of
jatrouage, and 110 contracts to sign—
merely the calling at the distribution
office and securing the handsome $3.00
volume without a cent of cost except
the small sum of 9S cents, to cover
book rights and handling fees.
It is safe to say that no library in
this city, or any large city in this
country, contains a work 011 the first
six months of the war anywhere as near
complete, compact and concise as this
excellent volume, and to -obtain first
editions of this story of the war was
an achievement worthy of note.
Although many reader" have secured
copies for their hom>s and libraries, to
those who have not yet done so the fol
lowing description will be interesting:
The "Nations at War" is by Willis J.
Abbot. The mention of the name is
Bufticient to endorse it in literary cir
cles. It is hi# greatest work. It's price
i« $3.00. Contained between its hand
some bindings are 364 pages of un
biased truth about the war. its causes,
its objects and its horrors: 463 engrav
ings. from latest photos direct front the
lighting rone, a d 20 full-page illus
trations or" major topics in color. There's
no red tirpe. no if#, auds or but# to the
effer: simply cali. deposit the nominal
sum required, and secure the first real
neutral story of the war thus far pro
duced.— Adv*
