ARE YOU wELL-INFoRMED?
The Globe Almanac for 1892 Will
Be an Encyclopedia of Informal

ton.
Among the most valuable publica-
tons for the general public are what
are known as newspaper almanacs.
There is hardly topic of which the
busy man of affairs wants information
but can be found in these COM
paratively inexpensive books. The
long and dreary Washington depart
ments are condensed into read
able shape, and the business transac-
tons of a nation are epitomized for
ready reference. They are, in fact. an
nual encyclopedias, and far more valu-
able than any of these sO-called annual
encyclopedias, because they cover a
wider range of subjects, not so COM
pletely in some cases, but in a far more
satisfactory manner for the busy man.
OF all the newspaper almanacs that
will appear about the beginning of the
new year the peer will be the Globe
Almanac and Bureau of Information
for 1892. 1t will be handsome volume,
nearly double the size of the edition of
1891, and filled with information gath
cred from everywhere. The first accu-
rate results of the census of 1890, the
sporting and racing records of the
past year, the postal laws and
information. the state and national
governments with their political CLASH
tcatiOnS, and full and accurate election
returns, will be few of the many sub
Jects touched. The Northwestern de-
partment will be especially full, and at
this time, when the eyes of the world
may be said to be upon this section, of
great value and interest.
The scope of this book is wider than
has even been attempted before, and the
book will he of especial value on ac-
count of the great interest attaching to
the presidential contest of next year.
An answer can be found IN it to any
question touching our federal govern
ment, be it the salary or a deputy Of
fetal or the amount of money in the
government vaults. The names and
addresses of foreign ambassadors OF
United States conSulS abroad, the name
of the governor of Oklahoma or the
champion records in athletic sports-all
are to be found in the Globe Almanac.
1t will be years before the reports of the
census Of 1890 are ready for public dis
trlbution, but the Globe Almanac for
1892 will contain all the census figures
the average citizen will care to know.
The best encyclopedia should be sup
plemented by the Globe Almanac for
1892. for the reason that il will contain
information that can be found nowhere
else
Naturally, these books have a value to
the advertiser. All merchants and bus
mess men who desire to keep their
names constantly before the public, and
those who want their business cards
where the public can easily refer to
them, will find an excellent and unsur-
passed medium IN the Globe Almanac
Banks, financial institutions of all
kinds. machinery manufacturers. print
ers' supply houses, Seedsmen. jobbers
of all kinds. and, in fact, the great ma
JOrity Of advertisers can we'll afford TO
have space in publications of this nat
ure, and for those who desire to reach
the great Northwest there is nothing to
equal the Globe Almanac. 1t will not
be read and cast aside or kept for a
month only, hut will be kept close at
hand for daily reference throughout the
year. and then placed on the library
shelf for future reference.
A limited amount of advertising will
be placed in the Globe Almanac, and
choice space can yet be obtained.
