ALBERT E. WALKER,

Elmhurst, Long Island, New York City.

From Daily Progress, Charlottesville, Va.

Our Historical and Industrial Magazine
published under the auspices of
Mr. A. E. Walker is the largest, most
authentic and beautiful work of its
kind that we know of. Mr. Walker
is at least one special edition man that
may be thoroughly relied upon.
His honesty, square dealing and proficiency
are beyond question.

From Richmond, (Va.) Times-Dispatch.

"One of the handsomest and most
entertaining and instructive publications
we have ever seen from a Virginia
press is the historical and industrial
edition of the Dispatch and News,
of Staunton. It is edited and compiled
by Mr. Albert E. Walker and
printed by the Augusta Printing Corporation.
It is printed on a good
article of book paper, contains forty-six
pages, and is beautifully and
elaborately illustrated with half-tone
cuts. It is, as a whole, a veritable
picture of the beautiful enterprising
and intellectual city of the Valley, and
is a publication that is worthy to be
filed away among the State papers of
Virginia. We congratulate our esteemed
contemporary and the city of
Staunton upon this splendid publication
and the exhibits which it contains.

From Staunton, (Va.) Dispatch and News.

Mr. Walker's souvenir newspaper
editions are magnificent. The magazine
just published for us is the finest
that has come under our observation.

From Berkeley County (W. Va.) Democrat.

We have seen many excellent special
industrial editions of newspapers
and have known many writers and
compilers of great ability, but none
of them compare with the magnificent
publications of Mr. Albert E.
Walker, and we know of no writer or
compiler more proficient and honest
than he.—If this endorsement is not
strong enough, write us.

From Hagerstown, Md. Mail. Whose Editor
and Proprietor is Mr. Richard J.
Hamilton, son of Hon. William Hamilton,
Ex-Governor of Maryland.

Mr. Albert E. Walker is an editor
and publisher of unusual ability. He
has just completed the issuance of a
special edition for the Mail, and we
are pleased to say the edition was in
every way a success. His relations
with us, and with the business and
professional men of Hagerstown are
of the most cordial character. He has
left behind him here the confidence
and good will of all with whom he
came in contract. In him trust may
safely reposed.

[Signed]
R. J. HAMILTON, Ed.

From Publishers of Frederick Md. Citizen
who are, General L. Victor Baughman
of Governor Warfield's staff and
candidate for Governor of Maryland
and Hon. Charles H.
Baughman.

A. E. Walker, Esq.

Dear Sir: We feel that a word from
us is only just to you in view of your
excellent work on our Special Historical
and Industrial Edition which has
recently been issued, as it might meet
the eye of some publisher who needs
the services of an honest, capable and
energetic man to take charge of a similar
work. In all the long time that
you have been with us, our relations
have been most pleasant and we unhesitatingly
commend you as a thoroughly
competent compiler of special
editions and special work in the newspaper
field. Your sobriety and indefatigable
industry have been of especial
value to us and you have made
many friends in Frederick. We shall
take pleasure in being of service to
you at any time you may call on us.
With many good wishes for your
future success, we remain.

Yours very truly,

P. S. We consider this publication
the finest of its kind ever issued in the
State of Maryland.

From Connecticut State Trade Journal.

Mr. A. E. Walker was on the editorial
staff of this paper for many years
during which time we found him an
excellent gentleman, a brilliant writer
and thoroughly reliable in every respect.
We greatly regret that he
leaves us, but larger prizes are in store
and our very best wishes go with him.

From Chambersburg Pa. Repository.

Mr. Albert E. Walker, the compiler
of the industrial edition of the Repository
has once more ably demonstrated
his ability as a publisher and winner,
and has attracted our citizens who
have heartily co-operated with us in
our endeavor to show to those in
other sections what we can do, and
what Chambersburg looks like. Mr.
Walker's successful efforts in promoting
for the Repository a highly creditable
publication presents the opportunity
of cheerfully recommending his
services to those of the fraternity with
whom he may desire to open up negotiations.
Mr. Walker's journalistic
ability, efficiency and honesty are
unquestionable, and his cordiality
and business like methods have contributed
not a little to the substantial
recognition extended to the Repository
by our leading manufacturers and
business men. The edition is not only
a tribute to the Repository but to Mr.
Walker as well, so that our felicitations
are alike natural and sincere.

From Baltimore News.

The Frederick Citizen, Gen. L.
Victor Baughman's enterprising journal,
has recently issued a handsome
industrial edition, printed on heavy
plate paper with attractive and numerous
half-tone illustrations. The edition
was prepared under the supervision
of Mr. A. E. Walker, a well-known
New York newspaper man, and the
work has been done so effectively as
to make this issue of the Citizen about
the finest thing of the kind that has
ever been undertaken in Maryland.
A great deal of space is devoted to a
historical review of Frederick and to
articles dealing with leading events in
the formative period of the city and
county. Many of the articles are valuable
contributions to state and local
history. The special edition is a
credit to Frederick and to those who
managed it, and speaks volumes for
the public spirit of the Citizen and the
complete ability of its office to handle
a big piece of work in an artistic and
effective manner.

From Editor and Publisher, New York.

One of the most attractive special
editions seen in some time is that of
the Frederick City (Md.) Citizen, issued
on October 15, and consisting of
thirty-eight pages of interesting matter
bearing on the history and industries
of Frederick City. The edition
was prepared by Albert E. Walker, of
Elmhurst, New York City, who makes
a specialty of such work. Mr. Walker
has made quite a success in this line,
and the Citizen speaks in the highest
terms of his work.

From Martinsburg, W. Va., Statesman.

Walker has just completed for the
Martinsburg Statesman the largest and
handsomest Industrial Magazine ever

uniform courtesy and straightforward
methods, won the esteem of the entire
community. We will be pleased to
furnish at any time further endorsements
