A Beautiful Work of Art.

A Beautiful Work of Art.
Since almost every patent medicine
proprietor has fallen into the habit OF
issuing an almanac and sowing it broad
east over the land for the purpose of
advertising his uostrums. but few think
of buyiHg an almanac. But things were
different once. Time was when the
publication of an almanac became an
event of such Importance that 1t had t"
hc regulated 10y government. A hun
bred wears ago the common people re-
calded the almanac as the essence of
all wisdom, and from which they CLEAN
ed their knowledge of thunder storms
and earthquakes, the Interpretation of
dreams, and the lucky and unlucky
days in the calendar.
But we hear some one say, what has
all this to do with ''beautitul work of
art" as the heading of this piece reads
Much. and i'll this way: The prOprie
tors of the Al1ine have issued an al
maniac for lc7I which for beauty of
design and execution we have never
seen cquallcd. 1t is IL brochure of Amer
lean art designed. engraved and print
ed with wonderful skill, and making
collection of pictures of such marvellous
beauty is to make one wonder ut the
perfection of art II. b. Davis is agent
for this Almanac and for the 1ldinc.
specimens of which can he seen at this
office.
