Why You Should 'Buy the 'Britannica Hundreds of letters have come to ui testifying to the evorv day value and practical usefulness of the Britannica. James S. Pinckard, a lawyer at Montgomery, Alabama, writes: "I have had my set of The Encyclopaedia Britannica for more' than five years and think more of it now than I did the day it was delivered- It is my most entertaining, Instructive and. valued friend. In facVI hold tt next In my affections to the members of my family, I really think it is the greatest book of the ages." ' From Earl Bratton, Edgerton, Ohio: "I am highly pleased with the books in every way; also with the installment plan which enables me to purchase the books." George A. Holdermess, President of the Farmers Banking Trust Co., Taboro, S. C, saysr. "As a reference book I find your new 'Encyclopaedia Britannica' of immense value, but to my boy in high school it ia simply essential." We could quote pages of such letters from people in all walks of life, active, busy, successful men and women who own and use and profit from the Britannica. v' The Britannica is a practical library of knowledge that every -one can use to good advantage a library of facts and informa tion for the husband in his business, the wife ia her home, the children in their school work. Wouldn't you profit from having such a wealth of knowledge and facts constantly at your beck and call? Wouldn't you in crease your earning capacity, enjoy more of the comforts of life, if you knew more and could therefore do more? Think it over NOW. And decide NOW. You have read some of the Britannica advertisements from time to time, and you know the situation. : It is not necessary for us to say anything more the India paper sets on hand are "'. getting fewer every day. v Therefore these advertisements are getting shorter every day the matter is entirely up to , you. All we can say is : Decide NOW. And if your decision is that you want one of these last India paper sets of the Britannica, then ACT. It is the only way to be absolutely certain of obtaining one of these last sets. : . .
