Fine books,
ridiculous prices.

Never was a chance to get
such fine books in sets as
this chance.
1t is due only to slump
in business among the pub
fishers of subscription
books. They had to raise
money; some even failed.
And their books went into
the markets at a fraction of
usual prices.
They are here now. Books
by the best writer's Of Eng
lish literature. Books by
English French and Ameri-
can writer's of fame and high
standing.
Printed on fine paper, in
handsome binding, with ex-
cellent Illustrations. And
selling at an average of one
quarter of subscription
prices.
Published at $22.5O to
