Weave president of the Board of Tr; —The Call is ahead of them all. It looks fine in its new dre: The reading matt of a high cl and the illustrations are fine. That 350,000 edition is a top mnotcher for coast journalism. Byron Cottle—The New Era edition is immense! It is one of the best i pers I e saw, the illustra- ng especially good. The read- rior to that of 3 hat 350,000 edi- tion wil State with a fine lot of reading matter, and a great deal of good will result from the copies that are sent abroad. The Examiner isn’t in it any more. The Call leads them all. Rev. H. Melville Tenney, pastor of the First Congregational Church—The New Era Edition of The Call su- perb. If The Call keeps to its purpose in furnishing the public with a clean journal, which believes in high think- ing and furnishes the people with the news and literature that stands for all that is high, in the true sense it will deserve the greatest success of any journal on the coast. Everything as illustrated by this edition seems to point that that is its purpose. Chief of Police Kidward—The New Era of The Call is a magnificent num- ber. It foreshadows anything ever at- tempted in the journa line on the coast. The 350,000 edition of eighty- page Calls is so far ahead of the 120,000 edition of the Examiner in general in- terest and appearance that there is no comparison between the two papers. It is as a mole hill to a mountain, with The Call representing the latter. Attorney C. D. Wright—To-day’s Call is an ideal paper. It is surely entering upon a new era. The immense edition of over a third of a million copies is something unheard of on this coast, and incalculable good must result to the State from its circulation. It is far superior in general interest, artistic excellence and typographical appear- anec to the Examiner. T. W. Hobson—It's a great paper. The Call has forged right ahead, and NEW TO-DAY.
