THERE IS STILL TIME FOR YOU TO DECIDE

OU must have a general idea of the characteristics of the new Encyclopaedia Britannica, for it has been so much used and quoted and talked about that it is definitely classed as one of the greatest achievements of our day. But what you probably do not know is that it is a "different" kind of utility book from any that has ever been published; different in get-up, different in contents, different in style, different in method of construction, different and better suited to your needs in the fact that it was built for service for your service.

YOU CAN DECIDE How much the book will mean to you, or to your family, only after you have seen the prospectus (sent free by mail) or have called at one of our five offices to see the books themselves, their beautiful bindings in leather, and the wonderful, thin, strong India paper (described as an "inspiration of genius"), upon which the 28,150 pages of text are printed.

SEND FOR THE PRO. You will then be SPECTUS TODAY in a position to settle the matter once for all. Any argument in favor of waiting until tomorrow is also an argument in favor of waiting until the price has been increased in America, as it was in England in December last, and that is surely the wrong course to take. For an inquiry form see the last page of this notice.

58,000 SETS HAVE ALREADY BEEN SOLD It is "the most successful book of our time," and has been bought by all

classes. The photographs of its owners on this and the following pages show some of the fields in which the new Encyclopaedia Britannica is performing its usual function of furthering the world's work.

A Great Author

A Great Inventor

A Great Statesman

A Great Emperor

Everyone who has the book is glad that he has it. Everyone who buys it now will be glad that he did not wait until it cost more-$29 to $50 more, according to binding.
