HELPS OF NEW THINGS NOW
READY In MANY DEPARTMENTS.

Probably our term early spring seems
little premature In February 1t
should nor, however. January lst marks
the closing period of the Dry Goods win
ter season. Progressive merchants the
country over are now engaged in show
ing their customers New Spring Stutfs
The advantage is all on the side of
customer. Instead OF crowding the work
necessary to prepare you to meet the
spring season, when IL arrives, into a
few short weeks, you have now the
choice OF making that preparation de-
ltberarely. and can occupy two months
at it.
Then the choice things are always
shown early. II for no other reason
this should be sufficient for you to buy
now. We invite you to call and inspect

FROM THE

To the Publishers of 1.-THE Magic City,"

DEAR S1Rs: I desire to express to you both
my admiration and astonishment at the marvel
Gus beauty of your grand publication. 1t sur
passes any work of the printers and engravers'
art that have ever had the pleasure of behold
ing. The photographs In natural colors are
revelation to me- They are beautiful beyond all
conception Your book Is rightly named "The
Magic City," and am sure 1t will receive from
intelligent people of your country the hearty
recognition to which 1t Is entitled by It's superla
tive merits
It was originally my intention to accept the
very kind invitation of President Harrison to
visit your great Worlds Fair last summer, but
a sea voyage is always quite fatguing and occa-
s1onally dangerous, and I therefore hestated
until your beautiful book was announced, when
at once realized that 1t would be more desirable,
and certainly more instructive, than a personal
visit Hence I abandoned all idea of going to
the Fair, and we'll pleased with my conclu-
sion, for your splendid book gives me a permanent
view of the great Exposition in all it's details as
sit in my library. I particularly we'll
pleased with your presentation of the worlds
art, IS represented at the Fair and elso with the
curious and interesting types of the Midway
Plaisance both of which, I observe, you hav-
wisely made special features of "The Magic
City"
With congratulations and good wishes,
beg to subscribe myself
