HUGH CHALMERS, one of the leading automobile manufacturers in the world, says the new Britannica offers "a great opportunity to the younger men in the automobile industry as well as in other lines of business.

SCHWAB, the steel manufacturer, describes the Bri tannica as "the most important and authoritative work of its kind in the world within the reach of those ambitious people of moderate means who need it most the men who are raising themselves from the ranks to positions of responsibility. " ' Knowledge counts for advancement and earning power, in everything you undertake. And the new Britannica is the most complete, practical and valuable source of knowledge you can own. How many 10-cent pieces do you spend every, dayi not always getting full value for them? Think how often you virtually "throw money away." Count up how much you spend for things you don't actually need.- And when you have done thit, consider what your 10-cent pieces invested in the Britannica would mean to you in your business, in your home JUDGE JAMES A. C. BOND, of Maryland, says "tht new Britannica Is simply indispensable." " This wonderful work, with its 41,000 separate articles and 500,000 in dexed facts, will make you more valuable to yourself, to your family, to your own business or to your employer, to the community in which you live.
