THE CHRISTMAS HERALD.
The universal verdict in Park City on
THE CHRISTMAS HERALD was that it was
the greatest journalistic enterprise ever
undertaken in the inter mountain region
and monument to the push, energy and
enterprise of The HERALD management.
Below are the comments of a few of our
REPRESENTATIVE men:
re. Gunn-A splendid paper in every
respect Nothing but praise can be said of
the literary efforts and too much cannot be
said of the paper as leading specimen of
the typographical art.
Ezra Thompson-It is an elaborate issue
and shows remarkable energy and enter
prise.
&c Williamson-It it away ahead of
anything of the kind ever published In the
territory.
A. B. Emery-It is gotten up in great
shape, as sure as you're born. l didn't
think Salt Lake could do so well.
Scion Spiro-It's dandy. 1t will do
more for the territory than anything ever
published. 1t is the finest yet.
