 Here is how this set of encyclo- pedias came into being:
 Approaching the need of an en- cyclopedia presenting modern liv- ing thought in clear, condensed form, Francis J. Reynolds, former research librarian of the Library oi Congress of the United States, Edi- tor in Chief of Golfers New En- cyclopedia, and an associate in the preparation of Lodges History ot the World, presented the problem to the World Publishing Company. The result of this conference was an en- cyclopedia compiled in the twenti- eth century rather than in previous centuries and compiled not during the first two decades of the twen- tieth century, but after the World War and the difficult years of re- adjustment which followed it. Upon the acquisition of this encyclopedia by its present publishers, it was completely revised. Obsolete mater ial was removed, new events were chronicled, new knowledge was clas- sifled and incorporated in the text and thereupon the encyclopedia now being offered by the Democrat became truly 8 notwithstanding encyclopedia.
 The Waterbury Democrat was in- deed fortunate in securing the rights fc: Waterbury for the sale of these books and now makes this sensational offer to our readers.
 Thirty-nine cents and six consec- utively numbered coupons is the price of each volume. Volume No. 1 will be released on Saturday, May 18th and thereafter a volume a week.
