Second—Large clear type that is a delight to the eye. Third—Over 3400 pages on Bible finish paper, Duotone illustrations. Fourth—Good serviceable cloth binding, gold decorations. In short, a book of just the size and weight that you would specify in a book made to order of a favorite author for real use and comfort. LET SOME of the SUNSHINE of DICKENS INTO YOUR SOUL—his love for his fellow man —his broad sympathy, his riotous humor and tender pathos. No matter how tastes in literature change, the charm and appeal of — ickens is perennial. More millions of his books have been sold and he has to- day more readers than any man who ever wove his fancies and emotions into literary form through the medium of our mother tongue. Dickens put his whole great heart into all his books, which sweep the strings of every human emotion. As one by one other idols of our youth depart, we turn to him always with the assurance of satisfying entertainment. x NELSON NELSON Never Again a Chance Like This to Own Dickens at This Price YOU MAY ALREADY HAVE A SET OF DICKENS, but do you read it often? And isn’t one of the reasons why you do not read it because it is so mechanically hard to read? Perhaps because it is too heavy, or because it does not open well in the back, or because the type is not good. And so you are missing and your children are missing one of the great joys of life. IT IS FOR SUCH “OWN- ERS” THAT THIS SIX VOLUME SET WAS DESIGNED. BUT PERHAPS YOU DON’T OWN A SET. Now it isn’t a true home that hasn’t in it a set of the immortal works of the greatest novelist that ever wrote in the English language. Children who grow up without knowing Mr. Micawber and Little Nell and Dora and Sam Weller and Peggotty and the hundreds of other delightful and whimsical char- acters that Charles Dickens created are not grow- ing up with an all-round education.
