WATCH TOWER BIBLES—NEW EDITION

WE have concluded to get out two editions of the WATCH TOWER BIBLES. We expect to be ready to begin filling orders for them between October 1st and 15th. Your orders may be placed at once, in harmony with the following descriptions:

It will be noticed that none of these Bibles is quite so cheap as the cheapest of last year. There are two causes for this: (1) To our special helps of last year we have added about 300 pages of new matter, so that the comment represents the TOWERS of the past 30 years, as well as the DAWN-STUDIES and tracts and sermons, etc., published in newspapers. (2) Our cheapest book this year has linen instead of paper lining and thus corresponds in binding to the next to cheapest of last year.

BIBLE NO. 1918, PRICE $1.65, POSTPAID

Minion type, India paper, references, French seal (best sheep) binding, red under gold edges, silk head-band and marker, linen lined, maps, TOWER and DAWN Comments, Instructor’s Guide, Berean Topical Index, Difficult Texts Explained, Spurious passages noted. This additional matter will fill about 500 pages. Size, 5x7x1 inch.

BIBLE NO. 1928, PRICE $2.50 POSTPAID

This Bible is exactly the same as No. 1918, except that the leather is genuine Levant Morocco leather and leather lined. This should be a very durable binding—fine-grained leather.

BIBLE NO. 1938, PRICE $3.00 POSTPAID

This Bible is of a larger size and of a bolder, blacker type. It is rather large for a pocket (5-1/2×7-1/2×1-1/4), but is light and convenient for handling. The helps are the same as in those described above. India paper, red under gold edges, silk head binding and marker. We are binding these only in the better leather, Levant Morocco, recommended as very durable. See representation below of bold-faced type. Calf lined.

BIBLE NO. 1948, PRICE $3.25 POSTPAID

This Bible is exactly the same as No. 1938, except that it contains additionally the Bagster Bible Concordance, Index of Proper Names, Alphabetical Bible Index, etc. Size 5-1/2×7-1/2×1-1/2. Sample of type below.

WATCH TOWER HELPS SEPARATE

About 500 pages, on India paper, in paper covers, 50 cents; in plain cloth binding, 75 cents each; in cheap leather binding, $1.25 each. Our advice is that as the Bibles cost so little more all who can should procure them. Besides it is very convenient to have the Scriptures and the helps under the same cover. Any regular TOWER reader who cannot purchase these helps, even in their cheapest form, may state his case to us, as a brother in Christ has kindly offered to supply a few paper-bound copies to such.
