"The Great Round World."

* * * * *

=SEND IN YOUR SCHOOL-BOOKS--THE ONES YOU ARE NO LONGER USING.= A
great many boys and girls cannot buy new books, and are very glad to get
the used copies at a lower price. A list of prices that will be allowed is
given in Number 4 of GREAT ROUND WORLD.

THE GREAT ROUND WORLD to any boy or girl who will send in two

AS A
=SPECIAL INDUCEMENT=

for our subscribers to interest others in "The Great Round
World," we will give to each subscriber who sends us $2.50 to
pay for a year's subscription to a new name, a copy of

=Rand, McNally & Co.=
=1897 Atlas of the World.=

=160 pages of colored maps from new plates, size 11 1/2 x 14
inches, printed on special paper with marginal index, and well
worth its regular price - - - - $2.50.=

Every one has some sort of an atlas, doubtless, but an old atlas is no
better than an old directory; countries do not move away, as do people,
but they do change and our knowledge of them increases, and this atlas,
made in 1897 from =new= plates, is perfect and up to date and covers every
point on

=The Great Round World.=

Those not subscribers should secure the subscription of a friend and remit
$5 to cover it and their own. A copy of the atlas will be sent to either
address.
