(LQNJ2O&) -t mnrt~« —' We antioi s kt - d a ereat Bnooess for oßr 86, MO s.'lLitij., we expect a great demand''for Sets of the "ENGYOLOPJiWA BRITANNIOA." But great as were our expectations tlie prompt and appreciative response to our offer has far surpassed them Day bv day orders continue to pour in; and cur onlv regret is that our supplv of sets is limited, so that we fear that manv who wish to seizs thvs opportunity will fail to do so bv "sending in t'aeir orders too late; that is after the last set has been sold; - ACQUIRING THEHABTTOF

All practical men realise to-day that practical knowledge is nearly the most valuable possession a man can have. Business aptitude and acumen are, of course, necessary to success in every branch of commerce and of trade, but these alone are nut all that are needed, for the clever man without practical knowledge cannot hope to compete successfully with the clever men who possess it. The acquirement of such knowledge has always been a difficulty, but this difficulty has now been removed by this present offer of the "ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNICA," for this work "is a complete library of practical and technical knowledge where can be studied every side Of commerce and every phase of trade. In this work the practical man can learn all that the most practical men have to tell him on such subjects as political economy, social economy, banking, money, and the rules of trade; he can study the requirements of the different countries of (Hie world, what their peoples can give in return for his goods; he can study general science, such, for example, as chemistry, which everyday practical men are learning by experience are of immense importance in the multitudinous processes of manufacture. SAVING AND SPENDING. ■ Besides the practical use to which the "ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNICA" can be put, there are two other advantages contained in the "DAILY MAIL" offer besides the mere acquirement of this great work. These are the two other tioints—if You accept this offer you will learn, or it may be confirm two excellent habits, THE HABIT OP SAVING AND THE HABIT OP SPENDING YOUR EARNINGS TO A PROFITABLE END. The terms are briefly these :—lf you have made up your mind to purchase the " ENCYCLOPiEDLA. BRITANNICA," the first thing that you have to do is to send in Five Shillings, which represents the portion of the money that you have already saved, or which, to put it in another way, you can spare from your expenditure. In return for this first and most profitable investment you receive the complete 25 volumes of "The Times" Reprint. In the meantime you commence to pay 6d a day, so accustoming yourself to a daily saving, a saving which will in no way incommode you, for il you will but, think of it you wifl realise that hardly a day passes but that, however careful you may be, you spend an odd sixpence here or there which you might conveniently and very profitably put by. When these "daily sixpences" have accumulated to the extent of 12s you remit this sum to us as your first monthly instalment towards the completion of the purchase price. That is one good habit, that is, the excellent habit of saving; but, further than this, you acquire the equallyyadmirable habit of spending your savings to the very greatest advantage, for these savings are made with the direct end in view of procuring yourself a complete -library of science, literature, history, biography and l art. So that we might almost add a third point, for this bargain has this unique merit, that in return for your first payment you receive your books complete, and while you and yonrs are using them you proceed to pay the remainder of the price for them, and this price, it should not be forgotten, is less than half the publisher's price. THE LAST WORD Our last word to you will be this:—That if you desire to make sure of availing yourself of this astounding bargain' offer you can only do so by sending in your order promptly. Every practical man realises the extreme value in the affairs- of life of acquiring the habit of promptness. Opportunities come to every man, but' it is the men who not only are able to see the opportunity, but to seize it, who succeed. This offer is a great opportunity for you, as you cannot fail to see, and it remains with you to say whether you care to run the risk of losing it by lack of " promptness." '

Monthly Instalments of Twelve Shillings. or, if you prefer it, a Discount for Gash. A New Feature. Jf.B.— Every subscriber to the " Emy clopsedia Britannica" will receive, without extra ccst, an extra (26th) volume of nearly 250 pages, giving hundreds of suggestions and outlines for courses of reading "upon almost every imaginable topic, thus making the Encyclopaedia available for every member of the family who can read.
