THE MENTOR

Every Reader of The Mentor

will be interested in knowing that during the past twelve months more than 400,000 back copies of The Mentor were sold to the members of The Mentor Association, which shows, more than anything we might say, the enduring value of every issue of the periodical that is published.

In no other place is it possible to get such a vast amount of information in such condensed, interesting form—and the wonderful gravures that accompany each number are found in no other work. The previous numbers of The Mentor when bound make an invaluable library of knowledge.

We have just received from the binders a number of sets, finished in a beautiful three-quarter morocco. It is complete in five handy volumes, containing all the material that has been published up to and including issue 120. It contains 2,000 text pages, 720 full page gravures, and over 1,800 other rare illustrations. The sets that have just come in are especially well-bound; so strong, in fact, that they will last for years. The leather is an extra fine skin, the clear cut lettering and the cover decorations are in gold—making a set that will prove a handsome addition to any library.

As a member of The Mentor Association you appreciate the value of possessing a work that has the merit of the material that makes up The Mentor Library. Each subject is complete in every detail—and you have the privilege of possessing all subsequent volumes as fast as they are issued, which in time will be the most complete, the most authoritative, and the most interesting set ever published. It is a series that you will be proud to pass on to your children and to your children’s children; and the price is so low, and the terms so easy, that you surely must take advantage of it.

YOU NEED SEND NO MONEY NOW. Simply send us your name and address with the request to forward them to you. We will send the five attractive volumes, all charges paid. You can then send us only $1.00 within ten days after receipt of bill and $3.00 a month until $36.25 has been paid—or five per cent. discount for cash, should you choose.

If you will send us a post card or a letter at once we will extend your subscription for one year without additional cost, to begin at the expiration of your present membership; also you will receive, without additional charge (regular price, 25c.), the new cross-reference index, which makes every subject in the library at your instant command.

You Save $4.25 If You Act Promptly

Several hundred sets of The Mentor Library have been sold during the past two or three weeks, and as we have but a few sets of the present edition on hand, we are making this very unusual offer. It is necessary that you write us promptly that you may take advantage of the present low prices. We urge you to act today.
