An Unsolicited Letter
"As for the wonderful books of the Encyclopaedia-
they are simply treasures! When I was offered to
compete for the position I now hold, I studied up every
reference to the subject of dredge and hydraulic mining
therein, with the result that I passed 87 on all the
questions asked me. This was highest. Without the
Encyclopaedia I could not have secured this excellent
position. "

A NEW VOLUME ABOUT THE WAR
" I "HEpublUhers of The Encyclopaedia Brilmanica unnKi that they have
A mado arrangements for the issue, as soon after the end of the war aa possi
bls, of a new volume, containing a full and authoritative history of the war.
The new volume will be written by scholars and experts of the same high
character as those who wrote for the Britannica itself, and by many of its own
contributors. It will be absolutely impartial, excluding all partisan feeling and
prejudice. It will contain
A Judicial account of the real causes of the war. the' progress of the
struggle, and the results all over tho world : with maps, as nscessary. to show
changes in boundaries..
. 2- The uvea of the new leader, whether civil, military or naval, in the
belligerent countries.
3- The results of the war outside the sphere of fighting, the pi mi ess of
surgery, the prevention of contagious disease .the new scientific disc ovaries, etc.
The new volume will bridge the gap between the days of peace before and
E wr" " wiU "" Printed and bound to match the Britannica and the
publishers guarantee that no matter bow difficult and costly the supplementary
volume may be from the editorial point of view, the price of it to all who pur
chase the Britannica during the present sale will not be more than that of a
corresponding volume of the Britannica.
The time has come when you must decide and order. That is the whole story.
Today there is no use in telling you what the Britannica is, how valuable it will be
to you in your work, what an advantage it will give you and your family to own it
You know now whether you want it or not There is only one thing left for you to
consider will you order or not ?
Unless you order NOW you will NEVER be able to buy the Britannica printed on
genuine India paper. Because there is no more India paper for printing the Britan
nica. And no more can be made war makes it impossible to import the flax and
hemp for making India paper.
IfyouKNOWyou want the Britannica, sign the "Reserve" Order Form inthecorner
of this announcement, attach a dollar bill to it and mail, it just. as quickly as you can.
If you are almost sure you need the'Britannica, but want to be positive before you
order, go to the store named here and ask to see the entire set If the books
convince you that the Britannica will be useful and helpful to you, leave your order
in the store and make your first payment of $1.00. The entire 29 volumes will be
sent you at once and you will have them to use and profit by while you pay for them.
This advertisement, in order to reach the newspapers of the extreme East, West and
South had to be prepared and sent out ten days ago. At that time we estimated that
the remaining sets of the "Handy Volume" Britannica the last in the entire world
would take care of all orders mailed us on or before Saturday, May 26th. But orders
have been increasing so rapidly that the last set may be gone before this.
BUT Do not let this possibility delay you. Send your order TODAY! Every
minute now is precious if you are really anxious to own and profit by the knowledge
the Britannica will bring you.
(If the last set is sold before your order is received, your money will be returned
to you immediately.)
