Rev. Irl R. Hicks 1908 Almanac.

To say that this splendid work Of sci
ence and art is finer and better than ev-
err, is stating it mildly. Tfe demand for
it is far beyond all previous years. To
say that such results, reaching through
thirty years, are not based upon sound
sense and usefulness, is an insult to the
intelligence of the millions. Prof. Hicks,
through this great Almanac, and his
famous family and scientific journal,
Word and Works, is doing work for
the whole people not approached by any
other man or publication. A fair test
will prove this to any reasonable person.
Added to the most luminous course in
astronomy for 1903, forecasts Of storms
and weather are given, as never before,
for every day in the year, all charming
~ illustrated with nearly two hundred
.engrayings. The price of single Alma
nae, including postage and mailing, is
thirty cents. Word and w orks with the
Almanac is 81 a year. Write to Word
and Works Publishing Co., 1901 Locust
Street, st. Louis, Mo-, and prove to
yourself their great value.
