16 World’s Fair Photos for One Dime.
The Chicago, Milwaukee & St Paul Railway has made an arrangement with a first-class publishing house to furnish a series of beautiful World’s Fair pictures of a largo size, at the nominal cost to the purchaser of only ten cents for a portfolio of sixteen illustrations. Nothing so bundsoino in reference to the World’s Fair has before been published. The series would be worth at least twelve dollars if the pictures were not published in such large quantities, and we are therefore able to furnish these works of art for only ten cents. Remit your money to George H. HkafEord, General Passenger Agent, Chicago, Milwaukee & Bt. Paul Railway, at Chicago, 111., and the pictures will be sent promptly to any specified address. They will make a handsome holiday gift. Old Lady (severely) “Why don’t you newsboys keep yc .rselves clean?” Boy—- “ Huh!
