when we must stop taking orderOo The
few remm Britannica are selling so fast tlrit if
ybu wan set NOW is the time to order it
And it is NOW NEER if you desire to own this great work
in its most popular "Handy Volunie" Issue
printed on genuine India paper.
ft
These remaining sets are the
very last in the whole world
printed on the famous India
paper that can be offered.
They are printed on the last
India paper manufactured be
fore the war made it impossible
to get the special kind of flax
from Belgium Ireland and
Germany and hemp from Russia
for the making of India paper.
No more of these raw materials
is available or will be procurable
for years after the war for the
making of India paper.
And the only sets of the B-
tannica for sate anywhere in the
world printed on this beautiful
paper are right here in America.
Orders have greatly increased
in the last month the sales
have jumped to an average of
more than 2000 sets a week.
This fact makes it certain that
the few remaining sets will not
last beyond 2 or 3 weeks. .
If you know the Britannica
know hdw useful it will be to
you . and are quite sure you
should own a set order it im-
mediately. This is your only
assurance of getting it.
When the last day is announced
on which we can accept orders with
any prospect of filling them it is
reasonable to expect a great rush of
orders to come in at the eleventh hour.
This was shown last June when a
slight increase in the price was made
on account of the increase in the cost
of bookmaking materials and we
"received over 17000 orders after the
last day.

In this- case when the last
set is gone you will not be able

great library of knowledge
printed on genuine India
paper at any price.

and other countries people who
