The Calendar for 1868.

By Editor

ORDERS for this Calendar are rapidly coming in. Those who wish for such a thing, want it as early in the year as possible; hence, now is the time to order.

Perhaps some would like a little further description of it. At the top, just inside the gilt border, is a representation of the tables of stone, in a stone gray tint, on which are plainly printed the ten commandments in a space 2⅛ by 1⅝ inches. This is probably the smallest compass in which the ten commandments were ever printed in letter press. It is accomplished by using what is called brilliant type, the smallest cast in the United States, and as small as any in the world. It is a novelty in itself. At the right of the commandments is a miniature representation of our Adams power press on which all our books and papers are printed, and at the left, an open Bible. Underneath the table, in a prominent gilt line, are the words, “Seventh-day Adventist Publishing Association.” Down each side is a calendar of the months of the year, giving the time of the setting of the sun at the commencement of each Sabbath. In the center is a representation of our office building, and a brief prospectus of the Review, Instructor, Reformer and the books here issued. It contains two tints and six colors, being run through the press eight times.

Brethren who procure this calendar will accomplish a double object. First, they will have a convenient calendar for their own use. Secondly, they will have that which when hung up in their rooms will attract the attention of visitors, and give as comprehensive an idea of the Association and what it is doing, as any thing they could obtain. This should be a prominent idea with all, as all who love the cause will take pleasure in advertising it before their neighbors. The style of printing done at this office, the calendar itself shows; for as a specimen of beautiful typography it will compare favorably with any work of the kind done in this country. Single copies 20c, six for $1.00, post paid.
