`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- WebsterTM 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.
