The Werner Educational Series

A Spelling-Book and Reference Guide Devised upon a Novel Plan
"Why was it never thought of before?"

A BOOK FOR BUSY PEOPLE

With an Appendix defining many Commercial and Business terms in everyday use. It is a compilation of all the English words in general use (25,000) which are likely to be troublesome.

The letters which are usually transposed, misplaced, omitted, or otherwise misused, are printed in bold-faced type, thus emphasizing to the eye the picture of the word as correctly spelled. Who would ever again forget himself and write s-e-p-e-r-a-t-e or s-e-p-i-r-a-t-e after once seeing it spelled separate? The orthography is that recognized by Webster's Dictionary.

Single copies postpaid on receipt of price. Special terms for introduction and to the trade.

The

Route

Invites attention to its superb service to Atlanta and the Southeast. The
Cotton States Exposition will be open September 18th to December
31st, and will be an event of unprecedented interest.

The perfection of road-bed and luxury of the train service of the
Queen & Crescent Route is an example of the great material progress of
the South that is only less than the Exposition itself.

Low round-trip rates now in effect.

The Atlanta service of the Queen & Crescent Route is composed of double daily
trains carrying Through Sleepers from Cincinnati, Palace Day Coaches, and
elegant new Parlor Cafe and Observation Cars. Solid trains also to Chattanooga,
Birmingham, New Orleans, Jacksonville, and all points South. Atlanta literature
