The New York Tribune Almanac.

OF course, it is possible to worry
through life without keeping a Tribune
Almanac at our elbow. but is it worth
while-does it pay? For 25 cents a year
this publication supplies you with a
really marvellous amount of information,
and the man who has it is an authority
in his ~neighborhood. He doesn't have
to be guessing or ~"supposing'' about
election pluralities, the names of Cab
met Ministers, Senator'S, congressman,
Governors or Judges. He doesn't have
to rely upon his memory when anything
comes up about the big events of the pre-
ceding year or in relation to our army or
navy, or sporting records, or, in fact,
almost anything else of record worth
knowing, If you never examined the
Tribune Almanac just invest a'quarter for
once, and see how well pleased you'll be.
The 1904 one will be on sale January /,
and may be had from your newsdealer,
through your local paper or direct from
the Tribune Office, New York.
