The Kansas City Star: Gentlemen:
It gives me pleasure to welcome you .to the
Complete Territory of Oklahoma and I extend to you
Education the courtesies thereof; the enterprise which
you are introducing is one that appeals es-
pecially to me in as much as it tends to place the facilities
tor a complete education in the hands of all our people.
The Encyclopaedia Britannica needs no com-
Needs no mendation from anyone but your edition is
Commend- in my opinion the best that has been offered;
ation. it has Large Type Clear Paper and "Up-to-Date"
Additions which make it very attrac-
tive. The accessories with which 'ou have surrsunded it
serve to make it more available than ever
Greatly and greatly enhance even its organic value.
Enhanced. Wishing you the success which your move-
ment deserves I remain
Yours very respectfully

The Kansas City Star:
Gentlemen : The Encyclopaedia Britannica is
The a complete library in itself covering thor-
Star's oughly all fields of human knowledge. Your
Features Edition is the most perfect I have ever seen.
Most I heartily endorse it together with the ac-
Excellent companing plan for systematic study a fea-
ture which I regard as most excellent.

anyone who nas tneiiincyciopa'ciiaiintan-
nica lias a complete library if he has no
other books. In these 25 volumes is a con-
densation of the world's knowledge. If
one takes the "Guide to Systematic Head-
ings" given by you with the Britannica
and follows the suggestions contained
therein he will have a gist of the best knowledge to be
obtained from the World's history. I prize
the Britannica more than all of the other
books in my library and would forfeit them
all before I would lose the Britannica. I
have never found a subject I wanted infor-
mation on which was not fully treated of; it
is modern and brought down to date.
On the liberal terms offered by The Star this
Liberal epitome of universal knowledge is easily ob-
Offer tained; every family should have it. The Star
is doing a great work for the people in giving
them this opportunity to place in their homes at so small
a monthly cost this concentration of the World's best
knowledge. Very truly yours Frank II. Greer

To the Kansas City Star:
After having examined your
Standard Educational proposition I
Encyclopaedia am glad to give it my
hearty commendation. The
Encyclopaedia Britannica is well known as
the standard Encyclopaedia and the Amer-
ican Additions in your edition
Clear make it the latest Encyclopaj-
and dia ever published; the Helps
Easy which you give are of great
Method value in that they serve to
open out in a clear and easy
method the wealth of knowledge in the
Britannica itself.
Prom my knowledge and ex-
Reaommend perience I am free to say that
It to All. your Educational movement
is the most comprehensive and
far-reaching of anything of the kind I have
ever seen and such as will help any and all
people the Student the Agriculturist the
Artisan the Professional and the Business
man. 1 recommend it to all such and wish
you the best of success in your movement.

To the Kansas City Star:
The Encyclopaedia Britannica is
Euery a library of articles upon every
Subjaot. subject of general interest to
educated people; each article
written by one of the best qualified men
upon that topic in the whole English-speaking
world it is therefore Avhen
Best properly read a library in it-
Qualified self as its name says. Its equal
in independent volumes would
cost thousands of dollars and mean thou-
sands of volumes then they would not be so
well proportioned nor have so
Indispon- high a level of scholarship in
sable to the writers. It is like the die-
anyone tionary of -use all the time al-
most indispensable to anyone
and indispensable when one wishes a safe
and fairly certain place to turn for informa-
tion. Horace Speed.

Guthrie Okla. April 18 180Q.
The Kansas City Star:
No library is complete without
Governor the Encyclopedia Britannica;
of All. it is a library in itself and the
governor of all.

The Kansas City Star:
It is unnecessary for me to say
Highest anything in behalf of the En-
Authority cyclopaedia Britannica; it is
recognized as the highest au-
thority by the world's best scholars. It is a
complete library in itself and should be
witnin the l'each of every boy and girl. I am
only glad that its value as an educator is
being more nearly understood.
The "Guide" to the Britannica I
Heartily most heartily recommend; it will
Recommend prove a valuable help to those
who already know the value of
the great work and a most excellent help
and stimulous to the young in their study.
It cannot fail to interest them in their work.
The "Home University League"
Lines meets the wants of the individ-
of most ual much more nearly than the
Interest. "Heading Circles" the "Chau-
tauqua Circles" or the "Univer-
sity Extension Lectures" in as much as each
one can pursue a course of study along the
lines of most interesting and benefit to them
selves. In this day of specialization this
feature is an important one. I can heartily
recommend it. John A. McClain

The Kansas City Star Gentlemen:
Having had a set of the Ency-
Admirable clopaedia Britannica in my ft.
and Unique. brarjr for some years I most
heartily recommend it and add
my endorsement to it as well as to the par-
ticular edition j'ou now have before the pub-
lic. I think "The Home University League"
and the "Guide" admirable aud unique sup-
