A Wonderful New Volume
THE pabtiahara of thm Encyclopaedia Britannica

for the iue, as tooa after the and of the war a
possible, 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 ail partisan feeling and prejudice. It
will contain
1. A judicial account ef the real causes of the
war, the progress of the struggle, and the results
all over the world; with maps, as necessary, to
show changes in boundaries.
2. The lives of the new leaders, whether civil,
military or naval, in the belligerent countries.
3. The results of the war outside the sphere
of fighting, the progress of surgery, the preven
tion of contagious disease the new scientific
discoveries, etc
. The new volume will bridge the gap between
the days of peace before and after the war. It will
be printed and bound to match the Britannica and
the publishers guarantee that no matter bow diffi
cult and costly the supplementary volume may be
from the editorial point of view, the price ef H to
all who purchase the Britannica during the present
sale will not be more than that of a corresponding
volume of the Britannica.

You pay the balance in a
limited number of monthly

while paying for them.
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. :
. .
Either go and see the books at once or fill the "Reserve Order" form in the lower right hand
corner and mail it in today. If more orders are received than we can fill (because the remain
ing sets are so limited), preference will be
given tp those which reach us earliest
