has received very fiattering reception at
the hands of the public The newsdealers
of the Twin CitiesTeport an unprecedented
demand for the book, and already orders for
additional copies are pouring in from various
parts of the state as well as the states OF Wis
consiu, Iowa ard the Dakotas, Four presses
have been at work almost day and night to
keep up an adequate supply of the almanac.
Arrangements have been made to put two
more machines at work tomorrow, and
every effort will be made to supply the de
mands of the trade. The publishers of the
almanac have just reason to be elated over
the ready sale which has been accorded
it. Months of toll, diligent research,
careful comparison and an immense outlay
of money have been necessitated in its pro-
duction. Absolute accuracy has been aimed
at. and the publication of reference data, sta
tistical and otherwise, in as concise, handy
and interesting a form as possible. To
enumerate everything the almanac contains
would require page of the SUNDAY GLOBE.
A few of the main features may be noted.

dispensable. But its value is not confined to
politicians. Far from It, Professional men,

italist, real estate man, broker, commission
agent. financier. lawyer, clerk of every de-
scription, as well sin every store. warehouse,
or public gathering place, the Globe Alma
manac will be found to supply long felt
want.

publishers draw the attention of citizens of
the Northwest to the publication of the

need for this. The Globe Almanac, in the

but not only that, the whole of the records
