The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1896-02-15

issue of THE NEWS we have been gratihed
at the frequent compliments paid by III
contemporaries, as well as by the business
men OF his town and abroad, on the
beauty and usefulness OF that newspaper
special.
And nearly every day brings us addi-
tional testimony Of the appreciation
which the INDUSTRIAL News won for
itself. Echoes Of fiattering comment
reach us from all over the country, and
give evidence that many copies of this
unique and interesting issue have been
circulated where they. would d the most
goodu from Maine To California. We
ind pleasure in making mention OF this
because we think it viii be gratifying in
formation TO the business men OF this
town who extend HE NEWS their patron
age, as well as to citizens generally. Our
effort to make The INDUSTRIAL NEWS a
credit to the town as well as to ourselves
has, we now feel confident, been even
more successful than our most ambitious
hopes could have anticipated. THE IN
DUsTRIAL NEWS, it appears. made good
name for itself all over the country, and
so contributed, we are sure, to the ad-
vantage of the many business houses
that were identified with it and TO the
prestige of the fine city from which it was
published.
For instance, only the other day we
received a communication from Mr..
JAMES BURNLEY of London, Eng, repre-
senting a syndicate of high class English
journals, including Black and White and
ST. James Gazette, in whose interests he
is making a visit to this country. Mr..
BURNLEY writes from st. Augustine, Fla. T,
that ''being over here from England for
the purpose of writing a series of articles
for an important syndicate of British pa
pers on the industries of the States,
shall esteem it a favor IL you will kindly
forward me a copy Of your recent indus
trial issue (Which / nave seen referred to
in a Philadelphia ~journal)," and in re-
turn for what he is pleased to regard as a
courtesy of some value to him, Mr.. BURN
Il expresses his fraternal purpose to
forward to THE NEWS advance copies OF
his articles from which he believes we
might like to copy something for the
benefit and pleasure of our readers as rep.
resenting English opinion. From the
Office of the General Electric Company,
also, has come, within a few hours, a re-
quest for a copy of THE NEWS, (which
consists OF "a pages devoted to the Gin
dustries OF the city"
Our art department comes Ia for its
share Of praise, also, for the handsome
poster cover designed and drawn by Mr..
FRANK W. MARSHALL. "will you accept
one more compliment and congratula-
tions on the beauty OF THE NEWS 6irt7.'
writes one correspondent and adds truth
fully: ''It was such a graceful figure and
so well drawn" 1t was, indeed. Even
"THE NEWS Man," stunning as he is on
our new poster, doesn't quite equal "THE
NEWS Girl" And Mr.. JAMES A.. NOR
RIs, who delighted Providence art lovers
a few weeks ago by the splendid poster
show which he exhibited here, writes that
:" 1.-THE News Girl is very unique and the
reproduction stunning, SO clear and well
defined it was. Mr.. MORRIS showed "THE
NEWS Grip to some of his artist friends
and they too, were OF course most favor
ably impressed with her charms.
Altogether, we feel That everybody as
sociated with the INDUSTRIAL NEWS has
reason to hump himself.
