Now for the first time you get a complete set of all Mark Twain’s writ¬ 
ings at just exactly one-half the price they have ever been sold before. This 
is a new edition, just as complete as the old one, which still sells, by the

It had been Mark Twain’s ambition to have his books in every 
American home, and he made a great personal sacrifice to 
bring about this remarkable opportunity —for the first time

before has a copyrighted library set of a' standard author’s works been 
issued at such a low figure.
