`
`The’ name Webster alone is no guarantee 70f excellence. It is used by a
`number of publishers and may serve mainly to mislead an unwary buyer.
`
`,Merriam-We‘bsterTM is the name you should look for when‘you consider
`‘the purchase ofrdicti'onaries or other fine reference books. It carries the
`7 reputation of‘a company that has been publishing since 1831- and is your
`assurance of quality and authority.
