Our
Great
Sale
Must
Close
After June 17th
acyclop
you can obtain the
new " Handy Volume " lime of the
tl o
only at an increase of $11 to $19 per set
Only twelve days more twelve working daysand
our remarkable offer of the new "Handy Volume" is
sue of the new Encyclopaedia Britannica comes to an end.
Whatever further sets we shall be able to secure after
that date we can offer to the public only at an increase of
from $11 per set in the cheaper sets to $19 for the more
expensive bindings.
In order to make such a tremendous reduction in the price we
contracted with the publishers of the Britannica for an enormous
printing; but even this big supply is nearly exhausted and in a few
days our present offer must be withdrawn.
Fix the date June 17th, Saturday at sunset
in Chicago? 7.33 p. m.
No order posted from your home office, or of
fered after that day, date and hour will be accepted.
But you should not wait to send in your order. Some of the
bindings, especially the morocco leather, are now very hard to ob
tain and only a small number of sets remain. We cannot guarantee
to fill all orders received up to the date named.
If you wish to make 6iire of the particular binding you prefer, we
advise you to send your order today.
All you have to do is to cut. out the order form below, mark it,
sign it, and send it with a single dollar.
All our arrangements for this pale, and all the publishers' contracts
or paper, presswork, binding, leather and so forth, were, made before
the war began. Every one knows what a drastic fise in prices has come
since then. No industries have bepn more affected than the paper, print
ing and binding trades. The publishers therefore had to notify us that they
could, not renew our contract. .
We wish we could have gone on selling this great work at the.se low
f trices for years, for we believe that nothing which we could have of
fered to the public would give them more lasting value, nor at a greater
bargain. This is impossible, and we therefore give you this timely notice.
ISDMtafe bcq) rilk we f afee if all S
Our remarkable offer of this new ".Handy
Volume" Issue has brought the Britannica
within the reach of thousands of persons who
never dreamed of owning it before; and like
wise of thousands of persons who do not know
its everyday value in the everyday home.
We want them to know it. We want you to know
it. So we make an offer that has never before been
made on this incomparable work of reference.
Vou send us a singlt dollar. We ship you
the booki. Then we allow you three weeks in
which to examine them, use them, find out
their value to you. If then, for any reason
whatsoever, you wish to return thebooks.you
may do ao and your money is refunded with
freight charges both ways.
In a word, it costs you nothing to examine thfi
books in your own home, in your own rasy-chair.
If you could buy a house or n horse or an auto
mobile on such terms as these, you would not
'mate long, if the price was riKiit. The tince is
right. You obtain the Kncycloruicdiii Jlritannirn,
the new Klevrnth Kdition. pt one-thlnl the Price
charged for the larger-sized "Cambridge University" issue of the Mime work.
