San Ultra Mural View,'' very ar
tistic brochure, has been received from
The Curtis Publishing Company, Phil
adelphia, Publishers of The Ladies
Home journal. As the title indicates,
the booklet gives US glimpses of the in
teriors of the Journals offices, and
some idea of the work carried on
there. The main building, entirely
occupied by the editorial and business
offices. was designed by Mr.. Harden
bergh, the architect of the Hotel Wal
dorf, New York and was completed in
January 1898 The exterior is attract
i've and the interior elegantly appoint
ed and admirably planned. The nu-
merous illustrations. showing the
commodious and well-fitted offices, and
the accompanying text, giving us some
insight INTO the work in tie different
bureaus, requiring a force approximate
ing four hundred employees, indicates
the wonderful success which The LII,
dies Home Journal has achieved in an
almost incredibly short time. The
first number was issued in ID, cember,
1888, so that less than eleven years have
elapsed since Mr.. Curtis conceived the
idea which has developed into so vast
an enterprise. In this short time its
merit and steady improvement in all
departments have received snch recog-
milton that its circulation has reached
the enormous average of about 100000,
the largest magazine output in the
world. The brochure also describes at
some length the work of printing and
binding the Journal, which is carried
on in separate building. Gan Intra
Mural View will be sent to any one
who will address The Curtis Publishing
Company, and inclose four cents in
stamps for postage.
