Do you Cover your Books?

    The “One piece”
    Adjustable book covers

are made of the strongest and best book-cover paper obtainable.  This paper is made in large quantities especially for these book covers and will protect books perfectly.  The book covers themselves are a marvel of ingenuity, and, although they are in one piece and can be adjusted to fit perfectly any sized book without cutting the paper, they are also so simple that any boy or girl can use them; as they are already gummed they are always ready for use.

A sample dozen will be mailed to any address for 20 cents (or ten two-cent stamps) if you write

To whom it may concern:—­

I have examined the publication “The Great Round World”.  It seems to me to be admirable in its design and also in its execution.  It abandons the formal style of the newspaper in the narration of events, substituting instead a style that is at once conversational and free.  I commend it to the consideration of school men.
