It will be printed and bound to match the Britannica and the publishers guarantee that nv matter how difficult and costly the supplementary volume may be front the editorial point of view, the price of it to all who purchase the Britannica during the present sale will not be more than that of a corresponding volume of the Britannica.

The END of the Sale is HERE ! ! Decide NOW, for you will NEVER have another opportunity like this

This sale must end because we. cannot get from the publishers any more sets of the "Handy Volume" Issue of the Britannica, printed on genuine India paper. The publishers cannot print any more sets because they cannot get any more genuine India paper. This is because the war has made it impossible for the paper makers to obtain two. essential raw materials for making India paper, a certain quality of flax from Belgium, Germany or Ireland and hemp from Russia. It will be impossible to secure these materials in sufficient quantities for many years after the war therefore the Britannica can never be printed in the Handy Volume" form again. Sets can be seen and orders left att Summers Prescription Pharmacy Kofaman Street near State
