 HELEN 

 R.WELLS, 

 Akron, Ohio, 

 says: 



"I can hardly say 

 enough in praise of 

 The Nature Library. 

 The whole family, from 

 the grandmother to the 

 youngest child, are delighted 

 with them. My boys hang over 

 them like butterflies and anticipate 

 the greatest pleasure in their use. 

 The elder one, who is sixteen, will soon 

 have studies in which they will be most 

 helpful, 'and the ten-year-old will get much ^ 

 from them. He says: 'Oh, I feel as if 

 we're just rich to have these books.' While 

 the father, who is quite an enthusiastic on mush- 

 rooms, is particularly interested in that book.' 



lYou will want to know more 

 about this great work. 

 ^fWe have prepared an elaborate 

 booklet that gives some idea of the 

 beauty and authoritative character of 

 the books. It shows how this library, 

 most valuable for reference, is, above all, 

 readable and interesting. It contains striking 

 specimens of the wonderful three-color photo- 

 graphy and some of the full-page black-and-white 

 plates. This book is too costly to be mailed in- 

 discriminately, but the return of the coupon 

 opposite, with your name, will bring one to you 

 promptly, with details of a particularly attrac- 

 tive offer we make for a limited time. 



Better Do It Now 



is filled with live interest and all the charms of the out- 

 doors. It forms the only complete American library of 

 ^ the open air. The value and comprehensiveness of 

 the set is well evidenced by the titles of th(
