People's Pilot, Volume 2, Number 35, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 17 February 1893 — Still Bright and Booming. [ARTICLE]

Still Bright and Booming.

A publication, always foremost, is before us, brimful of sound advice and the raciest bits of fun, original and copyrighted, from the pens of such noted humorists as Bill Nye, Opie P. Read, Danbury-News-Man and others. It is a free gift of the season at the Druggists’ counter, and will be sought for as the highly popular St. Jacobs Oil Family Almanac and Book of Health and Humor, 1893. The work differs somewhat from its former editions, but is none the less attractive and in many of its features is the superior of former numbers. One special feature is the “Offer of One Hundred Dollars,” open to all contestants, the details of which a perusal of the book will more fully give. The almanac is issued by The Charles A. Vogeler Company, Baltimore, Md., proprietors of some of the best known and most reliable medicinal preparations. A copy will be mailed to any address on receipt of a 2-cent stamp by the above firm. “This machine only registers two hundred and fifty pounds, and I weigh in the neighborhood of three hundred.” “Oh, well, if you want to ascertain your exact weight, drop a nickle in twice, and foot up the aggregate.”—Harper’s Bazar.
