The Comnanion Calendar.

1t is said that the expense of making
the Companion Art Calendar for 1897
was so great that had it been published
in the usual quantity it could not be
sold for less than one dollar. Four
beautiful female figures are reproduced
on four folding pages, Each figure is
autographed in twelve colors, being a
true reproduction of the original water
color painting, which was selected be-
cause of its excellence of design and
charm of color and tone. The size of
each of the four folding pages is 104 by
inches.
1t is by far the best piece of color
work the Companion has ever offered.
Both as a calendar and as q gem Of the
photographers art, it is so attractive
that it becomes a valuable addition to
the mantle or centre-table of any room.
1t is given free to all new subscribers
