beer a consistent advocate of
Northwestern interests. Its
monthly editions, epitomizing
Western life, Western settlement,
Western enterprise and Western
progress generally as reflected by
its special contributors and
numerous exchanges, together
with it's beautiful illustrations
and practical portrayal Of West

advertise the Northwest, hasten
its development and promote it's

No other magazine is devoted
exclusively to Northwestern in

No other publication go persi-

No other periodical has done
so much to encourage Western

In a word, The Northwest
