1t is impossible for the Gazette to an.
swsr through special correspondence the
large number Of inquiries that are made
in regard to the Siodlard Art portfolios.
\ careful reading Of our advertisements
will give full information as to the char
actcr and scope Of the portfolios. Copies
Of them may now be found among Ga
zette readers in every community in
North Texas, aud these will attest their
own merits.
Some Of the coupon clippers have made
complaint TINT the portfolios nre not re
ceivcd MS promptly as they expect them.
The patience Of these is invoked in
behalf Of the Chicago publishers. They
arc oyerrm with orders. running mp
far into the thousands. coming daily
from Maine to California. Everybody
seems to want the portfolios. To meet
the demand is no easy task, even fol
one Of the largest publishing houses in
the United States. If any order IL no
filled within two weeks The remitter
should so advise the Gazette.
