An Unsolicited Letter "As for the wonderful books of the Encyclopaedia they are simply treasures! When I was offered to compete for the position I now hold, I studied up every reference to the subject of dredge and hydraulic mining therein, with the result that I passed 87 on all the questions asked me. This was highest. Without the Encyclopaedia I could not have secured this excellent position." EDWIN D. CASTERLINE, 400 6th Street, Pctaluma, Cal

President.

The time has come when you must decide and order. That is the whole story. Today there is no use in telling you what the Britannica is, how valuable it will be to you in your work, what an advantage it will give you and your family to own it You know now whether you want it or not. There is only one thing left for you to consider will you order or not ? Unless you order NOW you will NEVER be able to buy the Britannica printed on genuine India paper. Because there is no more India paper for printing the Britannica. And no more can be made war makes it impossible to import the flax and hemp for making India paper. If you KNOW you want the Britannica, sign the "Reserve" Order Form in the corner of this announcement, attach a dollar bill to it and mail it just as quickly as you can. If you are almost sure you need the Britannica, but want to be positive before you order, go to the store named here and ask to see the entire set. If the books convince you that the Britannica will be useful and helpful to you, leave your order in the store and make your first payment of $1.00. The entire 29 volumes will be sent you at once and you will have them to use and profit by while you pay for them. 725 advertisement, in order to reach the newspapers of the extreme East, West and South had to be prepared and sent out ten days ago. At that time we estimated that the remaining sets of the "Handy Volume" Britannica the last in the entire worldwould take care of all orders mailed us on or before Saturday, May 26th. But orders have been increasing so rapidly that the last set may be gone before this. BUT Do not let this possibility delay you. Send your order TODAY ! Every minute now is precious if you are really anxious to own and profit by the knowledge the Britannica will bring you. '(If the last set is sold before your order is received, your money will be returned to you immediately.) '
