' It is not our wish to define the points on which our Almanac will base its claims to supersede other local Almanacs, but we feel confidence in promising that it will find its1 way into more households and offices, and more nearly attain ''; to the correct ideal of a Provincial ."Book " Almanac than anything of the kind that has yet been sub mitted to the public of Auckland. 0 T\e information contained will be extensive and 0! carefully compiled, and the literary portion of the* work will be executed in a manner that will satisfy tho most fastidious, while our extensive and varied assort ment of new and ornamental-type, and the advantages of our steam printing machinery will enable us tp': produce a volume that for neatness and cheapness is ' not likely to be equalled in tho district. > j We can therefore confidently recommend this Annual as affording the best advertising .medium*'1 Although the first year of issue: the numerous agencies ' and correspondents of the Evening Star _wiU provide a medium for1 bringing: the work" immediately into contact with residents in "every part of the province, and, as far as may be .practicable, in ' O(;her parts' of the' colony. -'';- ;■'•' "!"
