Our Plan'of—

With all this interest in this most wonderful book of practical help in everyday affairs—do you wonder that we should say, We know we could .sell many thousands more sets of this 'Handy Volume' Britannica, printed on genuine India paper, if we could get them."

We cannot get any more because no more India paper can be manufactured. The war has made it impossible to get any more flax from Belgium, Germany or Ireland and the hemp from Russia, two essential raw materials.

William Allen White, fee noted journalist, in a recent letter about the Encyclopaedia Britannica said, "I like your plan because it rtiakes the buyer use his books as he pays for them. For, when a man has a monthly payment, he has a constant reminder to get his fnoney's worth—and what is good also, it puts the Britannica within easy reach of all"

This method is so popular—this demand for the Britannica is so great that we had to develop and organize the special Britannica department pictured above to take care of the thousands upon thousands of orders and the great work of taking care of each customer's account
