Why Our Half Price Is Possible.

The publishers believe that one hundred
thousand dollars spent Ia New Engl and
advertising this great work will not
secure 1t as great publicity o. our firm
can give 1t. 1t Is on account Of our great
distributing power, and the publicity
which we can give this work. that you
receive the benefit of this half-price ar
rangement. There 10 no telling how
long the limited number Of sets will last
that we were able to secure. We wish to
state that We were able to secure on these
terms less than one-half Of the number
of sets that we asked for. so we advise
our friends and patrons not TO delay, but
to secure this great work at on oe.
10 is not often that we recommend or
advise anything, but we do most certainly
recommend and advise the International
Library as the best book value for the
money ever offered In New England, and
we are not alone In this opinion.
The editors and compilers OF this Inter
ma tional Library are necessarily tine fore
most literary men of Europe and America
making the Library international in
reality as we'll as name. II Is the ONLY
AMERICAN PUBLICATION endorsed
by the Librarians Of the two largest libra
ries d the world. These endorsements,
with many others. may BIO seen at our
