Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1885-12-17
ANNOUNCEMENT.

As heretofore announced, on the first day
of January next the REcoRDUNIoN office
will, in accordance with its custom of
many years, issue special holiday paper.
1t Will embrace sixteen pages-an aggre-
gate of lbs columns of matter. The earlier
custom of inserting a large number of
business announcements will not be fol-
lowed. While the paper will be especially
valuable as an advertising medium, the
purpose is to make the issue one of especial
interest and value to the whole public and
the distant readers, as an exposition of the
products, resources and climatology of
northern and central California, and the
desirability of these sections for the in
tending settler.
While these considerations will have
especial attention, the general interests and
inviting character of the whole State will
not be lost sight of, or neglected The col
umns of the issue will not be given up to
statistics of the State Government, nor to
literary matter, to the exclusion of more
vital immigration topics. The aim Will be
to treat of matters of fact regarding the
soil, climate, productions and industries of
the State, in their relation to desirable i'm
migration, the rapid settling up of the
State, and the peopling Of its lands with a
producing class that will add to the ma
terial strength, the intelligence, and the
prosperity of California.
Arrangements have been perfected guar
anteeing the distribution of the edition,
which will be exceedingly large-through-
out the East and continental Europe. This
will be most largely done by direct mailing
of the paper from this Office 1t will not
be dispatched in bundles to Eastern agencies
and bureaus to remain unbroken and I'M
availed of, as has been too frequently the
case with special editions of papers intended
10 invite attention to certain sections
The actual circulation now guaranteed
Tor the special edition, experimenting the
regular and general circulation of the
RECORD guarantee an enormous dis
tribution of the journal, such as has never
before been given to any interior paper.
Such paper as is now being prepared, it
will be apparent to ALL will be of the
highest value to those who feel an interest
In the present welfare and the future pros
perlty OF this State, and are solicitous that
1t shall be speedily settled and all its posi-
bilities early developed. Such citizens will
see in the scheme presented an unequalled
opportunity to reach Eastern friends and
correspondents with trustworthy and ex-
haustive information regarding California.
They should not delay in notifying this of
flee OF the number of copies of the edition
that they will desire US to mail on their
order
In the treatment of the subjects indi-
Gated, the advantages of Sacramento as the
natural trade center of a vast and develop
ing area of the State, will not be neglected
but will be presented in manner that will
prove most beneficial to the city and its
business.
While the edition already assured will be
very large, we again call attention that it is
especially desirable that orders stating how
many copies are wanted by agents and in
dividuals, and how many it is desired we
Shall mail to addresses to be furnished
shall be filed by the 25th instant that the
edition may be made fully adequate to all
demands.
