Collecting and preserving the autographs of friends and 
others is a charming custom. There is also a great curi¬ 
osity on the part of almost everyone to see the autographs 
of distinguished people, and the Album which contains 
such names is highly prized. The Companion Auto¬ 
graph Album is one of the most attractive and valuable 
ever offered to the public. Besides the ordinary blank 
pages for collecting autographs, a new feature of great 
value is added. Oxer thirty of its 125 pages contain 
fac-simile autographs of distinguished poets, hisrorians. 
statesmen, journalists, essayists, and novelists. In ad¬ 
dition, in the hand-writing of the authors, are repro¬ 
duced stanzas from several famous poems. Those have 
been taken, in most cases, directly from the original 
manuscript, which adds great value to the collection.
