will be this new edition of the B. & O. Red
Book Like its predecessor, it will be sent
without any cost whatever 10 all who make
application for it to c. K Lord, General Pas
senger Agent, B. & 0. r. r., Baltimore, Md
The Red Book is as matter of course an
advertisement ofthe Baltimore & Ohio Rail-
road, but it combines so much of general inter
est to the public with comparatively so little
about the road, that it is far more valuable
than nine-ienths the publications of the char
acter placed on sale
The B. Il 0. Red Book is by heavy odds the
Handsomely political work from typograph-
cal standpoint Issued in the United States,
being always printed with exquisite taste on
fine paper and bound in the best manner. 1t
certainly is worth the little trouble occasioned
in writing Tor it, and it is hazarding nothing
TO predict that the ne special edition devoted
to the election which has just taken place will
be pre-eminently the textbook of 1882.
AS there will doubtless be an immense de
mand for the book, ii would be well for all de
sirlng copy to write at once to Mr.. Lord, DIS
the edition will be sent out to those making
application on the principle of first come first
served. Envelopes win be addressed as APP.
plications come in, so that there may be no
delay in mailing when the work is received
from the binder. +
