" The Scranton Tribune gives out an art annual and political
hand book for 1896. The illustrations, which arc numerous,
are in the highest style of the modern engravers' art, and the
figure and names matter, which is understood to have been col-
lected mainly by Colonel J. D.' Laciar, attests the industry and
. skill of that gentleman in a line of work the 'difficulties' of which
are only properly appreciable by those who have undertaken it.
The Tribune lia9 right to' be' proud of the issue, for the sub-'
6cribers fully recognize its value." h. ! 1 i -

" The Tribune Almanac, issued for '96, is full of valuable
- information and, is a compendium that answers many questions."
Philadelphia Press.
"One of the best of the almanacs issued in the state is The"
Scranton Tribune's annual. Its excellence consists not alone in
its letter press, but in the illustrations in half-tone, which are re
productions of photographs of actual scenes or of famous works
of art. This decorative feature is balanced by a compact digest
of useful information, particularly rich in local events, that ap
peal not only to Lackawanna and Luzerne counties, but all north
eastern Pennsylvania. The Tribune's annual is all that an
almanac should be and in addition is something more."- ,
.Wilkes-Barie News-Dealer.
" The Scranton Tribune almanac to hand is typographically
and, in point of merit, one of the best that has come to our notice.
.While it has been compiled with reference to Lackawanna
county, and in this it is very full and accurate, the general char
acter of the contents makes it of much value and interest to every
one."- . V ' ' 1 1

" The almanac and political handbook issued by the Scran
ton Tribune this year, is mucji. larger and more pretentious than
any heretofore published by that paper. The annual consists
of a number of fine half-tone illustrations and some valuable
political history and data. The latter portion of the book was
prepared by Colonel J. D. Laciar."' ,
Carbondale Leader.
-"Thc Scranton Tribune's annual, which' came to hand this
morning, is a fine compilation of facts and statistics that is worth
far more than the quarter charged for the book. Among these
are the local events of 1895, complete and detailed election re
turns, tax, coal and other statistics of local interest, population
of every city, town and hamlet in the vicinity, city and borough
governments and much other matter besides much general mis
cellany and many illustrations. No man who pretends or de
sires to be posted should be without .this volume.''

" The Scranton Tribune sends out an annual for the year
,1896 of the most valuable character. As a political handbook it
is the first venture of the kind from The Tribune establishment,
but like the progressive and thorough newspaper it represents
it is very complete and comprises an array of information of
especial use in northeastern Pennsylvania. The pages devoted
to election statistics, the coal trade, and Lackawanna county
organizations have been piepared with great care and will be a
ready reference guide for the coming year." t
Scranton Times.
" The Tribune Almanac for 1896, comes to us fresh from the
press and is one of the brightest newspaper annuals which we
have yet seen. It is a compendium of political, society and
chronological information, local and general which no man who
desires to be well ported can afford to miss. The work was com
piled by Colonel J. D. Laciar, and the task could not have fallen
into more competent hands. The Tribune Almanac promises
to be a standard political annual, y . .

"The Scranton Tribune's Annual for 1896 is not only a val
tiable handbook for ready reference, it is also a most creditable
publication from a mechanical point of view, and one upon which

information, there is a great deal of political and statistical matter
df general interest, and much miscellaneous information that is
good to possess. There are also several art productions in half
tone.' The Tribune's Annual is all right."
