Ifiseneaf the best invest- ments I ever made. 1 b books but not like this young man, I would save my cigar and tobacse money and my shaving money and buy this set. It would do it easily. This work would be a very valuable asset. Saturday next (possibly a day before) ends forever this superb offer Sincerely, (Signed) D. E. L. FISH West Valley, N. Y., April a8th, 1917. .. you can secure an India paper set of Wn the great Encyclopaedia Britannica. But it is NOW or NEVER! Have you ever figured out how liftle it would cost you to own the new Encyclopaedia Britannica Knowledge counts for advancement and earning power, in everything you undertake. And the new Britannica is the most complete, practical and valuable source of knowledge you can own. How many 10-cent pieces do you spend every day—not always getting full value for them? Think how often you virtually “throw money away.” Count up how much you spend for things you don’t actually need. You snould buy this great work for the useful, usable knowledge it c¢ontains. But we don’t want you te order it unless you are quite sure that it will be as helpful to you as it is to the 185,000 men and women who have already invested in a set. You can easily af- ford it because it costs you oaly fen cents a day for the cloth-bound set, or a few cents more for a beautiful leather-bound set, pay- ing for it in a limited number of monthly payments. But figure it out for yourself—on the basis of the everyday usefulriess of the Britannica— 3 31 down and but 10 cents a day ($3 a month) for a limited period— for the complete set, 29 volumes of 30,000 pages, printed on genuine thin-and-tough India paper! HUGH CHALMERS, one of the leading automobile manufacturers in the world, says the new Britannica offers ‘‘a greaf opportunity to the younger men in the automobile industry as well as in other lines of business.”’ S CHARLES M. SCHWAB, the steel manufacturer, describes the Bri- tannica as “the most important and authoritative work of its kind in the world within the reach of those ambitious peopie of moderate means who need it most —the men who are raising themselves from the ranks to positions of responsibility.” And when you have done this, consider y)halyoli 10-cent pieces invested in the Britannica would mean to you—in your business, in your home. JUDGE JAMES A. C. BOND, of Maryland, says “the new Britannica s simply indispensable.”” This wonderful work, with its 41,000 separate articles and 500,000 in- dexed facts, will make you more valuable to yourself, to your family, to your own business or to your employer, to the community in which you live. Itgives you the means to promote yourself into a better position, to increase your income. BUT IF YOU WANT TO OWN THIS SUPERB WORK, PRINTED - ON GENUINE INDIA PAPER, YOU MUST DECIDE NOW. < Out of the entire printing, only a very few sets arc left—and when these are sold, which will be in 7 days more at most, you will never have another chance to buy the Britannica printed on the'famouns India paper. Because there is no more India paper. These remaining sets are all there are in the entire worid. Great Britain, Australia and all other countries where the India paper sets of the Britannica were offered are ‘sold out.”” This willisoon beithe case here—your last chance to buy an India paper set is NOW or never/ No is the time to decide whether the Britan- Don’t delay.
