To Intending Buyers:

When we arranged to offer the Eleventh
edition of The Encyclopaedia Britannica in Handy
Volume issue Of amazing reduction in the price, we
naturally anticipated an enormous sale.
We contracted with the publishers that when we
started our advertising early in January. they should
have completed and ready $4,000 sets printed on the
same grade of India paper as the higher priced Cam
bridge University issue
We believed that this enormous order of $4,000
sets-a total of 10000 volumes would suffice tor
the year of 1916.
We began our advertising in the newspapers of the
country on January 1914. The orders which began
at the rate of 40 or 80 day, quickly to nearly
700 per day and by the time this notice be printed
will probably be 1000 per day.
We therefore advise you that very soon
probably every set will be sold which the
publishers can now deliver to U.s. and that in
a short time further orders will have to go upon
a waiting list.
We strongly advise anyone who does not
wish to wal; long time for his set to send his
order at
Even if you do not wish to have the set delivered
until next December as a Christmas gift suggest
that in order to make sure Of getting the books just
when you want them. you send us the dollar now so
