AMERICAN i3EE JOUHNAU 



R Splendid IVIap.— In these times 

 when the press keeps the people posted on 

 the World's doings, not only in our own 

 great country but in the other continents, 

 every home should have a World's Map as 

 complete and authentic as possible for fre- 

 quent reference, to know exactly where 

 events are occurring. 



Such a Map is sent prepaid to any address 

 in the United States by the publishers of 

 that great agricultural paper — The Prairie 

 Farmer, Chicago, 111., with that paper one 

 year for .f 1.75. The Map alone is sold reg- 

 ularly for $5, but by a special arrangement 

 for a great quantity of the Maps the above 

 special offer is made possible. 



This Map is Rand, McNally & Co.'s new 

 reversible chart of the United States and 

 World, and gives on the front side the latest 

 general Map of the United States (size 66x 

 46), new, thoroughly corrected, shows all 

 railroads and important towns, counties 

 and rivers. Each State is colored sepa- 

 rately and county outlines plainly marked. 



The back is covered with large scale Map 

 of the World. In the ocean spaces are giv- 

 en large Maps of Germany, Norway and 

 Sweden, and the British Isles ; also com- 

 parative diagrams of rivers and mountains 

 of the World ; also descriptive sketch of 

 every country on the face of the globe, with 

 its area, population and location shown 

 upon the Map. 



The Map is really an atlas, condensed and 

 compiled in the most comprehensive and 

 ready reference manner, all printed on one 

 sheet. 



This Map sent prepaid and The Prairie 

 Farmer one year for only $1.75. So lib- 

 eral an offer is seldom made, but this can 

 be depended upon, and any one getting the 

 Map will at once perceive its superiority. 



Order at once and address THE PRAIRIE
