EARTHQUAKE NUMBER.

By Editor

THE first edition of the earthquake special SIGNS OF THE TIMES reached 400,000. Then our rotary press paper gave out, gave out when orders were coming in at the rate of 20,000 a day. Then we issued our Second Edition, containing fifteen different illustrations and two new articles, one of which described graphically Santa Rosa's suffering, the other giving some of the causes of earthquakes.

This edition was corrected to date. It tells the plain story of the calamity. It covers the field from north to south as no other illustrated paper or magazine has.

When we ran out of rotary stock, we were 60,000 orders ahead of the presses. We have four presses now on the SIGNS, and expect our rotary press stock to-morrow.

The old giant has been idle and hungry these days. Soon, however, he will be devouring rolls of paper and turning out finished SIGNS at the rate of 6,000 or more an hour.

We are doing more with this second edition. We are printing on fine paper one of the most striking fire scenes taken, printing in a fine toned brown, suitable for framing, and giving one to each purchaser of the paper.

If you have the first edition, you will certainly want the second. You will want the second anyway.
