`A GENUINE MERRIAM-WEBSTER
`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-Webster™ is the name you should look for when you consider
`the purchase of dictionaries or other fine reference books. It carries the
`reputation of a company that has been publishing since 1831 and is your
`assurance of quality and authority.
