`A GENUINE MERVRIAM-WEBSTEVR
`The name Webster alone is no guarantee of excellence. It is used by a
`number of publishers and may serve mainly to mislead an unwary buyer.
`
`
`
`
`
`Merriam-Webst‘erTM is the name you should look for wheniyou consider
`the purchase of dictionaries or other fine, reference books. Itjcarries the
`reputation of a company that has been publishing since 1831 and is-your
`assurance of quality and authority.
