The holiday illustrated number of
the Mankato FREE PRESS has been
received, and is by far one of the best
publications ever received at this Of
. flee. 1t is printed on book paper and
has twenty-six six column pages
beautifully printed. 1t is indeed a
creditable publication for both the
publisher and the city from whence
it comes.
From one Who knows Good Thing
Winona Republican.
The supplementary Christmas num-
Der sent out by the Mankato FREE
PRESS last week was magnificent
example of energy and the typo
graphical excellence combined. The
contents were mostly of a local de-
scriptive and historical nature, and
they were rendered all the more at
tractive by a profusion of excellent
illustrations. Mr.. Hunt is to be con-
: graduated on his very successful
effort.
It's Hummer.
st. Peter Tribune:
The Mankato FREE PRESS issued
very handsome holiday edition, con-
tanning a historical record of import
ant events in that city, as well as
: portraits of leading citizens, import
ant buildings, etc. 1t consisted of
twenty-six pages, and reflects great
credit upon the proprietor and his
aids who collected the matter, and
also to the employees who executed
the work. 1t is very excellent re-
Election of MankatO, it's public insti-
buttons and it's business. In fact it's
: hummer.
