Earthquake and Fire Special.

By Editor

“Signs of the Times” Souvenir Edition.
This is our third and last and best edition on the great misfortune which befell the Pacific Coast. It is of much more than ordinary interest; it is the best thing yet gotten out. Let us tell you a few things it contains:

I. In Art and Illustrations.

  1. A fire picture of the burning of the city in colors.
  2. Two two-page panoramic views—one of the great fire and the other of the ruins, in colors.

  8. Twenty-four other illustrations of graphic earthquake scenes, seismographic records, ruins of noted places, such as San Francisco City Hall, Palace and Fairmont hotels, eruption near Healdsburg, safe-opening scene, etc., etc., etc., with interesting stories of each.
