Cbe Great “Question Answerer,” LAST DAYS OF THE ISSUE. ||"| I I —FT GRADUAL PAYMENT. ~ The advantages of being able to pay for a purchase bit by bit need hardly be wlSqJjlsSn argued. The system of piecemeal payment has enabled many a man to become with Pv’ vaw ■ v? ease the possessor of what else would have lain beyond his means. The introduction S> * M of this system was among the chief featmes of “The Times” plans for facilitating the re 'J!Jw acquisition of the two works Tf reference nt once the most valuable In existence and OIL ~~ ‘ Wi' \ the most costly to produce- th? •'Encyclopaedia Britannica” and "The Century." W pr^M, The system was, however, open to two grave objections. ‘'The Times" has swept MF «?a|r one aside, and has reduced the other to the smallest, possible proportions. In tne T ■ ! first place, the excellent idea of gradual payment for a great publication originally ~~~~ t included the less excellent idea of piecemeal possession. And in the second place, / g / the privilege of paying by instalments is too often bought by a very groat addition to ; 1 * £&% '&£ I si the cash.price. p I S / IMMEDIATE POSSESSION. / // I»y an Immediate payment f ton shillings the wh -le set of “THE CEN lURY I / ■ I'x.
