Rensselaer Democrat, Volume 1, Number 12, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 1 July 1898 — The Vessels of Our Navy. [ARTICLE]

The Vessels of Our Navy.

The splendid work of our ships has set many persons not heretofore interested in naval matters to making more or less of a study of ships, armaments, armor, projectiles, and so forth. It is an interesting study, especially at the present time, and “Official Photographs of the United States Navy’’ is the best and cheapest book on the subject. It contains 192 pages of handsome pictures and descriptive matter, with fine colored maps of the scene of war in both hemispheres, and will be sent by mail postpaid on receipt of twenty-five cents In silver by Chicago Newspaper Union, 93 South Jefferson street, Chicago, 111.
