 to secure this reference library at less than half the

The Greatest Reference Book 

 Offer Ever Me^de 



AS A DICTIONARY 



this work defines 25,000 more words than any other Dictionary, and 

 every definition is so clear that a school boy can understand it. 

 Dr. Parkhurst, the famous divine, writes : "The Encyclopedic 

 Dictionary is a library condensed into a few volumes; a ton of dif- 

 fusiveness reduced to 50 pounds of quintessence, and, withal, as 

 delicate in detail as it is comprehensive in contents." 



AS AN ENCYCLOPEDIA 



it treats 50,000 subjects in an encyclopedic manner, and this 

 vast array of articles covers the whole field of human knowledge. 

 With a set in your home it means a liberal education for your 

 children and a constant source of reference for the older members 

 of the family. The entire work has been recently revised and en- 

 larged by a staff of American editors. 



The Coupon Cuts the Price

 sets will be closed out to prompt buyers at one-third the 

 publisher's price. Read the coupon carefully and act at

 how much you save by ordering at once. Payments are 

 50 cents or $1.00 upon acceptance of the books, and as :
