Thk Pourth of July number of
the Ladies' Home Journal reach
ed us a little late. but the splendid
quality of its contents make up
lor that. It is always good, but
once in so often the Curtis Com
pany gets out a number that is a
gem, and this happens to be one
oi tha*. stripe. The Journal is
easily the first when it comes to
family papers. It is well worth
its room in any home library.
Wk are in receipt of the July
number of Western Investments,
from Los Angeles. This num
ber contains thirty-two «»z** pages
between a colored cover, every
page of which i> full oi well writ
ten articles and useful informa
tion pertaining to the Southwest
Its leader in this number is a I
well written sketch of the life of]
Robert Moran. the ship-builder of
Seattle.
Last week the Citrograph star

paper has labored fourteen rears!
for the furtherance of the city of
Redlands, and has seen built — in
fact been one of the strung holds?
in building — on a waste as deso
late as the Colorado desert has
ever been, a city whose beauty
is unequalled on the f«>otstool.

INLAND PRINTER
IT WOULD fcwm that the "Inland j
Printer" had long nincc reached
the topmoot round to perfection a* the ;
"leading jounal of printing; and allied
Industrie* of the world;" however, the j
remarkable genius of the men who'
publUh this* magazine make it po*t»ible J
to improve each number. The "Inland"
for July i» a Pan-American number,
and a perusal of iv page* t» indeed
next to a vi&it to the exposition.
The ma»ter-piece of thi* number i% a
well written article on "The I'nclean
Printer," by I^eon Noel, and i» com*
inclinable to every printer- dirty or
clean. The "Inland" ik a iiccej»»ary

AMERICAN storekeeper* spend
money to invite |teople to
visit their stores and examine
their stock, regardless of an in
tention to buy. hut the London
storekeepers wish no visitors who
are not purchasers, one of them
ha .ing gone so far as to put up
a placard, reading: '•Americans
will please take notice that this
place is not a museum." This
store isn't likely to get much
American patronage.
If Madam Fashion persists in
decorating the heads of our clear

and would be admired just as
much — as soon as it became the
fashion.

WESTERN GRAPHIC
AWORI) of praise is always in
order for Western Graphic,
by Geo. Rice \- Sons of Los Ang
eles. As an illustrated family
weekly it is not only easily the
first among all Southwestern pub
lications, but is indeed well up to
the highest standard throughout
the world. Things are never
«lone by halves in the printing es
tablishment of Gco. Rice it Sons,
and the mere fact that they did
the work carries with it a guaran
tee of perfection. Last week's
number of Western Graphic was
accompanied by a panorama sup
plement of Broadway, from Sec
ond to Third street. The picture
is printed on a sheet six feet, four
and a half inches, being the long
est copper-plate production ever
Attempted in the world. No bet
ter vicwof the west sideof Broad
way can be had by the person
standing directly in front of the
buildings than that conveyed to
one by this picture. To one who
cares for a thing of beauty, it
is worth the price of the journal
52 weeks.
Another special feature of this
same number is a likeness of the
venerable editor of Imperial Far
mer, of Los Angeles — L. M. Holt
— accompanied by a sketch of the
work Mr. Holt has done in and
for Southern California since
1875. He has the inauguration
of more than one successful! ir
rigation scheme in these parts to
his credit, and has also laid the
corner stone in the mi<lst of the
desert for many of the Southern
California towns which have de
veloped into places of beauty.

paj>er to proclaim to the world

fully appreciated until the next
decade has proven it.
