1t Ia gratifying at all times to learn
that piece of enterprise undertaken at
great sacrifice by paper to gratiiy its
Fsaders, mees with encomium and sue
cess. The HERALD. some time ago, un-
dsrtook 10 present its numerous sub
scrioera with a gift unequaled in the
annals OF journalism in Southern Cali
fo<nia. Regardless OF the expense at
tached to the matter it made arrange
ments by which under certain condi-
lions, virtually entailing no outlay on
the part of the readers it WAS enabled
to present the holders OF a certain num-
Der OF coupons clipped from the paper
With serial copies OF one OF the most
charming, instructive and interesting
works ever published in the United
States or elsewhere. Reference
10 made to Glimpses of Americs, pub
hcRtion which contains $50 superb
Photographic views, eight original
cameragraphs or specimens of sun
printing in natural colors, besides other
sketches in pen and ink, descriptive OF
the mArvels of scenery in the mou atains,
plains, eea coasts and cities of the
United States, in connection with a
history of unusual literary skill,
of the subject matter portrayed by
camera and artists pencil.
In order TO obtain the views OF the
people OF the city with reference to the
HERALD's enterprise in this matter, a
reporter OF this city interviewed on
sundry occasions large mum Der Of per-
sons whose opinion on the subject was
considered valuable. The expressions
in all cases were most fattering, but
would have to take up more space than
could be spared.
That the readers OF the HERALD may
become aware OF how its gilt to the
people is looked upon, it 10 not amiss
here to give publicity to the opinion Of
certain OF Los Angeles most respected
citizens--sentiments which the HERALD
prints with pardonable pride.
T. E. Rowan, mayor OF Los Angeles
The coupon premiums Of the HERALD
are, in my opinion. as fine gift as has
been devised by any newspaper on this
coast as compliment to its readers.
Glmpess OF America, when completed,
will form book OF scenic pictures OF
high artistic finish. The literary part
OF the work shows the marks OF a pol

think of nicer present that any one
could give to young friend than.
Glimpses OF America. Such pictorial
and descriptive history OF our glorious
country must be looked dpon as an ed
ucator OF magnitude. 1t gives an in
sight into the beauties of landscape and
the wealth of the United States which
hurried travel in a railroad train can
never impart. It would takes lifetime
knowing about what one sees, il such a
trip we're undertaken in person, but the
HERALD's gift to its readers will teach
an American more about his or her
own country in week than a personal
journey of year would do.
j. Frankendeld, president OF the Cali
fornia bank-Our people save every
coupon for the HERALD's premiums, be-
cause we want all the copies OF Glimpses
OF America that we can get. l cannot
Ray too much of this splendid work. The
pictures in il are excellent. Some OF
them are Of the highest order of merit.
II is impossible to think of any publica-
ton which is going TO teach the people
OF the United States in q more artistic
and finished way what manner Of coun-
try they live in. And 1t can only increase
the admiration of the patriotic American
for land which contains such beautiful
scenes and views as Glimpses OF America
revesls to those who are fortunate
enough 30 obtain possession of the work.
The HERALD has shown its liberRlity in
making it possible for it's readers to ac-
quire an album of such value virtually
for nothing. must say that l am inn
mensely taken with the premium and
watch with interest for the arrival of
new numbers.
George A. Dobinson, president of the
board OF library trustees-I have made
q careful examination of the illustra-
tions in Glimpses of America, and must
say that, although have seen several
works OF somewhat similar character,
there 10 nothing in print that know OF
that will bear comparison with these
very striking and artistic pictures. The
collection, when complete, will certainly
form an almost unique representation
OF the scenes portrayed, and the book
will be picture gallery and library
combined. So far as the mechanical
part OF the work is concerned, it ia cer-
tainly triumph of typographical art. l
shall hope to see it on the shelves OF our
public library, and it ought to be added
to the collection of every public library
throughout the country, if only for it's
educational value.

tire department-Have l seen glimpses
