(LONDON.) NOTICP We antici P ated a a** B ** success for our enterprise. HUIIWCi We expec ted a great demand for Bet* of the "ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNICA." Btft great at were our expectations, the prompt and appreciative response to our offer lias far surpassed them. Day by day orders continue to pour in; and our only regret Is that our supply of sets is limited, so that we fear that many who wish to seize this opportunity will fail to do so by sending in their orders too late; that is—after the last set has been sold. How to Acquire a Librar Acquiring the Habit of TOIM 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 not 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 "ENCYCLOPAEDIA BRITANNICA," for this work is a complete library of practical and technical knowledge where can be studied every ride of commerce and every phase of trade. In this work the practical man can learn all that the most practical men have ts tell him on such subjects aa political economy, social economy, banking money, and the rules of trade ; he can Kludy the requirements of the different countries of the 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 « ENCYCLOPAEDIA BRITANNICA " can be put, there are two other advantages contained in the " DAILY M Alti" offer, besides the,; mere acquirement of this great work. These are the two other points-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 " ENCYCLOPAEDIA 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 yon commence to pay 6d a day, so accustoming yourself to a daily saving, a string which will in no way incommode you, for if you will but think of it you will realise that hardly a day passes but that, however oareful yon may be, you spend an odd sixpence here or there which you might conveniently and very profitably put by. Wben these " daily sixpences " have accumulated to thejextent 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 equally admirable 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 art. So that we might almost add a third point, for this bargain has this unique morit, that in return for your first payment you receive your books complete, and while you and yours are using them, you proceed to pay the remainder of the prioe for them, and this price, it should not be forgotten, is less than half the publishers, price. THE LABT WORD Our last word te 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 orderJ'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.
