THE MENTOR
DO YOU KNOW—During the past few months more than 400,000 previous Issues of The Mentor have been purchased by the members of the rapidly growing Mentor Association. The idea of “Learning One Thing Every Day” is conveyed just as much through the previous issues of The Mentor, as it is through the current numbers. In reading through the list you are going to find a very large number of titles covering subjects that are of the keenest interest to you. If you will make a selection at once of TEN numbers that appeal to you most strongly—giving the serial numbers only (on a post-card) we will send them to you immediately—all charges paid—and send you a bill for the full amount, $2.00—which you can pay any time within 30 days. We urge you to act NOW.
