Souvenir Earthquake Edition
THE Souvenir Earthquake Edition of the SIGNS OF THE TIMES can now be secured. For more than a year it has been impossible to supply this number, but recently we have been able to get a few hundred copies from one of our agents in the East. These so far as we know are the last in existence which are obtainable. To those who were privileged to see this number a description is unnecessary. To those who have not, we will say: That it has the reputation of being the finest thing issued descriptive and illustrative of the California Earthquake and San Francisco Fire. It contains eye-witness reports from San Francisco, San Jose, Stanford University, Healdsburg, Santa Rosa, and other stricken places. Forty-two half-tone engravings illustrate these reports. In the center of the paper there are two great panoramic views, each 5 x 18 inches. One is a photo of San Francisco taken from Twin Peaks (reproduced in two colors), showing the terrific fire making its way toward the heart of the city. The other a photograph of the ruins after the fire had swept over. These special features with numerous diagrams, maps, etc., indeed make this a "Souvenir" of the great earthquake, and one which will be more highly prized as April 18, 1906 is left farther behind. Altho the prices of other earthquake-literature gotten out in the earthquake-district has been advanced, our friends may have these Souvenir SIGNS OF THE TIMES, while our limited supply lasts, at ten cents each. In quantities of one hundred or more, six cents each.
