Tjry it and See
Wbateyer may be said about the
publications of Rev lr1 R Hicks by
those who -do not fully understand the
facts there is no denying the truth
that his paper and Almanac have come
to stay His splendid journal Word
and Works is now entering its tenth
year largely increased in circulation
and in every way improved until it
-deserves the national reputation it has
attained His 1897 Almanac is - now
ready and is by far the finest and most
beautiful he has yet issued It con-
tains 108 pages including cover artist
ically printed in colors and is filled
to back with just what is
wanted in every shop office and home
in America One feature of the
AJmanac for 1897 is a series of 12
original beautifully engraved star
maps with explanatory chapter
which could not be bought for less
than five dollars in any work on astron
omy As Mr Hicks has correctly and
faithfully warned the public of coming
droughts floods cold waves blizzards
tornadoes and cyclones in the years
paised aside from the other varied
and splendid features of his paper and
Almanac these considerations alone
should prompt every family to sub-
scribe at once for 1897 The Almanac
is only 25cts a copy Word and
Works is one dollar a year and a copy
of the fine Almanac goes as a premium
