To the ambitious boy or girl, as well as to the ma tured student, an Encyclopedia, brought up to the last hours, is by far the greatest possible gift, but here is an Encyclopedia brought Into being by man's ingenuity which Is probably the last word In Encyclopedia making. Here is a loose-leaf Encyclopedia with a system of perpetual addenda. In this plan of Encyclopedia when a sub ject grows old or modern thought puts new phases on It, the makers of this wonderful work send a new leaf to take Its place and by the use of a key the metal binder Is unlocked, the pages loosened, the old page extracted and the new leaf takes its place. Presto! the Encyclopedia lsup to the last hour. It cannot grow old. This Encyclopeda contains twelve volumes and Is sold regularly at $96.00 a set.
