From the Anaconda Standard.
Several days before the Standards con-
tract expired II became evident to the man
ayers Of this department. that IL would be
impossible for all Who wished this valuable
set Of books to hls their orders before june
10. Letters were addressed to ths Britain
nisa publisherA the Werner company. Of
Chicago. fully stating the eass and asking
for 4 few days extension Of contract. These
letters wee followed yesterday BY the fol-
lowing telegram:
ITO tho Werner Company. Chicago. ILL.,:
You will more favorably consider our re-
QUEST for extension Of encyclopaedia oon-
tract whom 70 rsmind you that the notice
of expiration OF offer Was 10 short that In
this thinly settled state many did not re-
csive the notice until il was too lats to
avail themselves of the offer. II 10 true. We
received orders for nearly . carload on The
last day, but this WAS small In proportion
to the large number who. wanting the
work, failed to get In their orders on time.
Will you not permit us to take orders
at our prices and terms . few days moro?
Wire answer Immediately.

grant your request even were We 20 inclined.

ouiremsnts of these new fields. We are
now running at our greatest capacity.

demand for these books.
w congratulate you upon the markedly
ein mind, which is shown by the eagernsss

started, which completes your orders.
