Hoods Calendar for 1875 may now be OBJ
tanned at the drug stores and every one who
gets one secures "a thing of beauty In
decd in the novelty Of the design and the
exqpisitencss of the coloring, the calendar
surpasscs all previous issues, just as Hoods
Calendars have for many years surpassed all
Others The calendar is formed in the shape
Of heart and is ornamcntcd with two beau
tiful child faces which have always been
charming features of Hoods Calendars. On
The right IS representation OF WINTER"
the sweet little face with light brown eyes
pecping out from dainty cap, while the
snow flakes are falling all about. The face
on the left is picture OF "Summer," and Is
lighted with blue eyes and the head covered
with hat decorated with bright howers.
The shades are perfectly blended and the
whole picture is surrounded by n tasty Dor.
der The design was made by Miss Maud
Humphrey, one of the most gifted and cele-
brated water color artists In the country.
The calendar gives the usual information
concerning the lunar changes, and upon the
back is printed a table Of astronomical events
especially calculated for G. |. Hood u Co
The calendar Is issued to aAyertise' Hoods
Sarsaparlla, Hoods Pills and the other pre-
parations OF the firm, and is regarded as
most difficult to manufacture, its mover
shane being such as no other concern has
ever undertaken to produce III large quanti-
ties. II was necessary to purchase several
additional machines especially for this job,
so that there was very large amount OF
machinery and whole r, giment of people
employed in this branch Of the extensive
business at the big laboratory in Lowell.
During the five months when the calendars
were being made there were actually EN-.
9loyed every day in this part OF the work at
The laboratory six printing presses, one
5ronzing machine, four eye'lettins ma
chimes, seven wire stltchers, eight large
paper cutters and 1862 persons. At the be-
ginning Of the work this large force was
able to produce about 100, 600 calendars day
and for several weeks towards the close the
daily production amounted TO l40 GOO ealen-
dars The edition of Hoods Calendars TOR
1895 vas lo500, 600, or about 2,50O,0OO more
than last year.
This, of course, is an immense number, but
the general reader has only q faint conception
its magnitude until he is reminded that the OF
little 500 600 added to the ten millions Is con
sdercd an enormous edition by many 81 the
largest advertisers IN the world. II HE cat
cndars were laid down IN a single line, thcy
would reach almost one thousand miles, ana
II the different pieces in the calendar PADS
were laid in this way they would extend az
most three thousand miles, or from New
York TO Liverpool. For the past eight years
Hoods Calendars have exceeded In num-
Der every other similar publication, but II
was hardly dreamed that they would ever
come up to the mammoth edition which was
demanded this year. Lowell has long been
proud ofthis great industry which has glyets..
her almost world wide reputation, ana !.
is matter of no small Importance that 50
many of her people find pleasant and proillS,
able employment In the work u making anu
advertising the great blood purifying meul,
eine, Hoods Sarsaparilla, whose aetuai
cures iii every part Of the country have uee1
the wonder of the medical profession any s
have caused many hearts 10 overflow WIZ
gratitude. y.
Those who are unable TO obtain Hoous
sarsaparilla Calendars at the drug sloiss
should send six cents in stamps for one, II
10 cents for two to c. ]. Hood & Co, Lo~el'
