"I can' always say a good word for Chamberlain's Cough Remedy." writes sxltb. waiter uaker, tjrooksviue, Ohio. "It has been used by my daughter Nor ma Louise ever since she was a babv, She ia subject to croup, and a few doses of this remedy riven when that cronnT congh comes on her quickly dispels the attack. She does not object to taking it as it 'is pleasant to the taste, and being free from opiates. I know it cannot, harm her. It certainly deserves all the, good things I can say of it." WHY? taw Ml SIXTY thousand men and women representing all intelligent classes among- the rich, well-to-do and people of mod erate means have testified to the rare value of the new 11th edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica by buying . and paying more than Ten Millions of Dollars for this library. On one hand' you find the leading educator of this half of the world, Dr. Charles W. Eliot, president emeritus of Harvard University, a man who knows the value of books, a man who can appraise the value of a book with the same nicety as your expert financier can appraise the value of a bond. The venerable educator recognized the new Britan nica as a book which satisfied him, but also as a book which would be useful to young people. He therefore purchased two sets for his two sets of grandchildren. "I find them altogether admirable," he says, "and my grandchildren, who are at the most inquisitive ages, are of the same opinion." If there had been a more valuable book to give to these young people, Dr. Eliot would certainly have given it preference. On the other hand, we find a farmer who prizes the Encyclopaedia Britannica as a valuable investment to inform him about the vital facts of scientific farming, and the advance of political thought. Here is a young lawyer to whom the Encyclopaedia Britannica is a necessity in his calling. Here is a newspaper writer to whom the Encyclopaedia Bri tannica is so important he consciously makes sacrifices in order to own it. t Read What These People Say If you give a man a set of books like the Encyclopaedia Britan nica, lie will tactlully say something nice about them. His testi mony is tinged with the sense of obligation you have thrust upon him. But if he has put his hand in his pocket and paid for his books with money that he has earned and saved, anything he says may be taken "as an honest, unbiased opinion. The letters printed below are the unsolicited words of men and women who have paid for the privilege of owning the greatest set of books of all the centuries, the collected, proven knowledge of the whole life and achievement of mankind as recorded by recognized authorities. We ask vou to srive these few letters a tlioiifrhtfnl rend in - j 0 ask you to weigh carefully this question We What Will Ownership of the Encyclopaedia Britannica Do for You? No matter what your business or profession ma be, somewhere in these 29 volumes of classified knowledge there is a wealth of in formation that you can put to actual use. If you are seriously in terested in forging ahead you will charge up the cost of the Ency clopaedia Britannica as an investment in success. A Priceless Library 'I am much pleased with this wonderful work, so unique "in mechanical construction and perfection of printing. "It is also so satisfactory in the style, freshness and com "pleteness of the articles written, that I can say you have "not overstated a single feature in your advertisements "of it in the magazines. To me it is a priceless library." O. J. King, Grocer, Lincoln, Neb. Bought for the Children "My object in buying the Encyclopaedia was to furnish "my children who attend public school with the best books "of reference obtainable and it has been a great help as "well as a pleasure to them to use it, and with the help "they get from it I am proud to say they are enabled to "do good work in all their studies." H. P. Tobias, Farmer, Brownsville, Tex. Quoted by a Chief Justice "Possibly it may interest you to know that in an opinion "of this court which I wrote and filed last week in S. v. "Nipper on the question of the right to flog convicts as a "part of the prison discipline, I made a long quotation "from your excellent article on 'Prisons' giving due "credit for the same to the Britannica. "We make constant use of vour Encyclopaedia and find "it very helpful." Walter Clarke, Chief Justice State of J North Carolina, Supreme Court, Raleigh. The Most Monumental Work "Your edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica (11th ."edition) I think the most monumental work I have ever "known. The best evidence of my enthusiasm 'is that "I have already distributed a dozen sets in America as "presents among editors and my children, not counting "my own sets. I can hardly conceive a more suitable "present to both young and old. The work is -a liberal "education. I want to thank you for the intellectual "pleasure I enjoyed this Winter in examining this ex "traordinary production.'' Joseph Pulitzer, New York "World." : You Can Afford It No man or woman of even moderate income need say, "I can't afford it." The publishers of the En cyclopaedia Britannica from the very start have con sidered this book to be for all the people, not for the intellectuals only. And for that reason they have arranged a system of payment that will meet the purses of all people. - You can pay cash and get the new Britannica at the lowest price or you can pay for it in 4, 8 or 12 installments, or The Encyclopaedia Britannica Head Office, 120 West 32d Street New York Commended to Newspaper Men "The last edition of the Britannica, in its flexible covers "and annotated index, is the accomplishment of a long "cherished desire on my part and its use will not only "lighten my labors, but add to the dispatch of them and "increase their value to my readers. I commend the book' "to all newspaper writers." Editor, The Evening Times and Cumberland Alleganian, Cumberland, Md. A Factor in Children's Lives "The new edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica is "not only more comprehensive and equally authorita "tive but more readable. My own children have begun "to use it in connection with their studies and it prom "ises to become a factor in their educational life. I "regard it as one of the treasures of my library." J. W. Magruder, Gen. Sec, Federated Charities, Baltimore, Md. Better on American Subjects "It is the best Encyclopaedia, so far as my knowledge "goes. I have compared a number of articles on Ameri "can subjects with similar articles in a well-known "American encyclopaedia and found the Britannica "more satisfactory." Walter E. Coffin, President, Iowa Loan & Trust Co., Des Moines, Iowa. Very Good Articles on Textiles "The books of the old edition were so heavy mid bulky "that I found it was really no pleasure in reading them "at length, whereas the new ones are given preference "to even current magazines. , I subscribe for all the "leading ones and now read only the most noteworthy "articles in them, then again revert to the new Encyclo "paedia. "I find that the articles on Electricity and Aeronautics "and Flax, Linen, Jute and Cotton manufacture, in "which latter commodities I am particularly interested "because of my business, are exceptionally good." "W. C. Bowman, Mgr., Linen Thread Co., Chicago, 111. Valuable to Banker and Farmer "I have had occasion to become thoroughly informed ' "of the -aluc of the work. I do not believe that there "is any subject of interest or that affects human affairs, "but what is intelligently treated. For the information "of the farmer, I desire to say that to my great surprise "I found that the theory of the modem Silo was set forth "in this work with the same completeness that is sot "forth in government publications upon this subject." James E. Ferguson, Temple State Bank, Temple, Texas. Valuable Summary of Knowledge of Electricity "I have made useful reference to the Encyclopaedia "Britannica in a few instances and have found the "information I was looking for in very full and satis "factory form. I have taken occasion to read with some "care the article on electricity a subject in which I "have special interest, aud I was surprised to find the "fullness and completeness of the information contained "in it. It is in truth a resume of all that has been and is "known on" the subject of electricity from the coining of "the name electron to the latest innumerable applications "of that force." R. S. Taylor, Fort Wayne, Ind. The Article on Japan "It gives me genuine pleasure to indorse with unreserved "praise the 11th edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica. "The comprehensive and satisfying articles on Japan and "Mexico have been especially gratifying to my "family." Mrs. Scott Hopkins, 1177 Filmore St., Topeka, Kansas. Excellent Maps "I find the maps the best I have ever encountered in "English, quite as reliable and much more convenient to "use than a German atlas." W. W. Coclcina, Jr., Ranch man, Meade, Kansas.
