WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT IT. 



THOMAS G. NEWMAN & SON. 246 East Madison St., Chicago, Ills. 



Mrs. L. Harrison, of Peoria, Ills., records her 

 opinion iu this language: "Many sample 

 copies of various publications find their way 

 to our desk, and soon are nestling in the waste- 

 basket ; but when the Illustrated Home 

 JouRN.\L came, bearing the name of that well- 

 known firm (Thomas G. Newman & Son), it met 

 a verj' different reception. It was read and 

 re-read, and its content's well noted, and then 

 loaned to a neighbor. We wish It success, and 

 predict for it a glorious future." 



W. M. Barnum, of Angelica. N. Y., writes as 

 follows: "The Illustrated HO.ME Journal 

 unexpectedly (but welconily) found its way to 

 our sanctum recently. It is a beautiful and 

 intensely interesting Journal— well worthy of 

 Publisher Newman's zeal. I wish it success."

 Illustrated Home Journal is a gem of the first 

 water — appreciated as soon as seen."

 household,' I would sa,^• that your Illustrated 

 Home Journ.\l for April came duly to hand. 

 You should be proud of it — we are. I wish it 

 the greatest success." 



Frank A. Eaton, Bluffton, O., writes thus: 

 " I am delighted with the Illustrated Home 

 Journal: its contents are choice literature, 

 and it is filled with fine instruction, which 

 makes it true to name. Its typography ami 

 quality of paper are the best. I shall careful- 

 ly preserve Volume IV. commencing with the 

 April number, and have it bound." 



Mrs. L. C. Axtell, Roseville, HI., writes thus: 

 "The Illustrated Hume Journal is received,

 writes: ""The Illustrated Home Journal has 

 conic, and I admivc this Centennial niuiiber 

 greatly. You ha\'e made a rich issue of it." 



H. H. Brown, Light Street, Pa., writes thus: 

 " I received the Illustrated Home .lourual for 

 April a few days a^ro. It is a magazine that 

 should be found in the homes of all who desire 

 a paper that gives instruction, and its articles 

 are of such a nattire that the.v cannot help but 

 please all who read its pages."

 are well pleased with its contents."

"The lLLUSTH.\TED HO.ME JOURNAL IS nice. 



The paper, typography, illustrations and mat- 

 ter are first-class in everj- respect. It will be 

 a welcome visitor at our house. Mrs. M, and 

 the babv have had a good time with it already. 

 The first article, "One Hundred Years a Na- 

 tion,' is very good indeed, being like that on 

 page 10, on ■Four More States,' full of 

 boiled-down iufui-matiou." 



■J. jr. Young, of Plattsmouth, Nebr., writes : 

 "The iLLU.sTRATiin Home Journal is well- 

 (jrinted. and liandsi>mo. Its illustrations are 

 very fine, ii.nd it* contents ;'re worth many 

 times its co^i. As a Magazine for the Ladies, 

 it tJlUcs the !•'!;>!."

 nal is indeed very nice, and after having seen
