THE WORLDS BEST CALENDARS.


The annual distribution of calendars is an impor-
tant event in the life of every big business
firm. The value of calendar advertising has
been conclusvely demonstrated that many
of the biggest companies spend thousands of
dollars annually for calendars.
Companies operating upon big scale guard the
expense items more jealousy than small
Germs. They would not buy and give away
calendars if the caendars did not bring re-
suits.
1t is very evident. MIR. Business Man, that you
cannot afford to buy calendars from a small
concern or from one manufacturing them as
side issue. You know that the best work at
the lowest prices be secured from the
company engaged I'm the exclusive manufac-
ture of calendars large scale.
Such concern is the Robert Chapman Company
of New York. II manufacture the finest line
of calendars I'm the world and sells them at
the lowest prices. An examination of the
line will convince you Of the absolute truth of
both of these assertions.
The Redwood Gazette has secured the exclusive
right to sell this line of calendars i'm Redwood
county. The samples now on hand and
may be seen at this Office. You intend to put
out calendars for 1913. No where else can
you do well as with Chapman calendars,
