There are half a dozen - persons (including yourself and some of the family) for whom this great library of knowledge would be a superb present. Consider what a day-after-day source of pleasure and profit the Britannica would be. Realize how wonderfully light and inviting-to- read the famous India paper makes it. This is a gift you must make now—or never. You will not have . this chance another Christmas (nor for very much longer) because the few sets of the Britannica still unsold are printed on the last genuine India paper that could be obtained before the war cut off the supply of raw material (flax) out of which this thin-and-fough paper is manufactured. Not only is this the last India paper which could be procured for the printing of the Britannica, but it will be years after the war ends before India paper can be produced in sizable quantities. Therefore, the remaining sets are the last printed on India paper that can be offered. They will not last long—you must act quickly to make sure of getting a set. is the time—buy the Britannica for Christmas—for the family or yourself. This is not only sensible Christmas giving, but it will prove to be the best investment you have ever made.

This celebrated work should be in every home—it is the greatest, most authorita- tive book of facts and information ever published. It touches every subject in which men and women are interested —it goes back to the beginning-days of history, and is in step with all modern movements and events. It discusses the wonders of earth and sea and sky—the thoughts and activities of man —and yet it teems with all sorts of the most everyday-practical information connected with such things as farming, housekeep- ing, painting, architecture, electrical engi- neering, art, music, liferature, everything. Here are the answers fo the questions the children are always asking. Here are the facts that you are constantly seeking, to help you in a business way or other- wise. Here is the means of improving your education along general or special lines. Here is insurance agamst ignorance or lack of interest in the world in which you live.
