The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1916-02-19
MORE KIND WORDS FOR
TELEGRAM'S SPECIAL EDITION

We feel sure that no special edi-
tion of any Florida publication has
ever been received by the press and
public with more appreciative recog-
milton than the recent Progress and
Prosperity edition Of the Telegram,
and we reproduce below some fur
Their testimonials from our State ex-
changes on the subject:
"If the Herald should give q whole
page to the subject, it could not do
justice to the Progress and Prosper
ity Edition Of the Lakeland Tele-
gram. which was issued last week.
1t was simply a chef d'oevre of typo
graphical art and literary excellence.
There were over fifty pages Of read
ing mattr and artistic engravings.
Every detail of the work was done
in the Telegram Office, and the re-
suit shows that, in the matter Of lit
erary, artistic and typographical ex-
cellence, not even New York print
ing establishment can surpass the
Telegram. If copy of this splendid
publication should fall into the
hands of a man outside of Florida,
he would Immediately be seized with
an irresistible desire to go to Lake
land and make his home there -
Punta Corda Herald.
"One of the handsomest pieces of
printing recently received at this Of
fee is the Progress and Prosperity
Edition of the Lakeland TELEGRAM, a
4S-page paper in magazine form
printed on India tint book paper
and highly illustrated. dakeland's
wide-awake and progressive news
paper has had much to do with it's
wonderful growth and prosperity,
and yet we doubt if Editor Hether-
ington gets half the credit he de-
serves. Previous to Mr.. Hethering-
ton going to Lakeland that town had
two papers, each of four pages and
with outfits worth less than a thou
sand dollars. Hetherington gathered
this junk together and commenced
the building Of newspaper plant
and today he has one Of the finest
office buildings and best printing
plants in the entire South. Did this
take ability? Park Trammell, who
has since been elected to the high
Office Of governor and now wants to
be United States senator, tried his
hand at building up newspaper in
Lakeland just previous to Hethering-
ton undertaking the job, and he
never reached over the four-page
stage and the country Campbell
press, and Trammell is considered a
great man ."-Wauchula Advocate.
"Were we to write about all the
large and handsome editions of Flor
ida newspapers we would have space
for nothing else. for they keep ever
lastingly at it. but we must say that
the Annual Progress and Prosperity
Edition recently issued by the Lake.
land Evening Telegram, is one Of the
finest productions of the kind that
we ever saw.
1t lie a splendidly illustrated mag
azine Of fifty pages, printed in the
highest style Of the printers art;
its articles are well written and it
will be a valuable addition to any
library. Jasper News.
"The Progress and Prosperity Ed
ition, just issued by the Lakeland
Evening Telegram, is a splendid
work and should prove of much
value in placing Lakeland's attrac-
tions before the world. The edition
is in magazine form, Of forty-eight
pages. with attractive cover, and
contains many writeups of Lakeland
citizens and their enterprises,
schools and religious institutions.
The Telegram, however. is SO mod
est that it does not print the picture
Of its own home, which is, perhaps,
the handsomest business structure in
Lakeland. "--Bradentown Herald.
"The illustrated magazine special
published by the Lakeland Evening
Telegram is one of the finest pieces
of work we have ever seen. We
have not space to review it at length,
but every page in 1t makes us want
to say something complimentary
There are forty-eight pages. "-Sar-
asota Sun
'The Lakeland Telegram has is
sued very creditable annual"
which portrays the delightful envir-
ons and busting industries of that
busy burg as though you beheld the
picture from comfortable seat in
the movies. Arcadia Enterprise.
