CHRISTMAS NUMBER

THE WEEKLY NEWS

TRIBUTES FROM THE PRESS BEAUTY OF ILLUSTRATIONS Enthusiastic praise for the Christmas Number of The Weekly News comes from newspapers in many parts of New Zealand, which commend the beauty and variety of its photographic illustrations and the enterprise which has brought them together from a very wide field. "Acknowledged as one of the best pictorial publications in the world, the Christmas Number of The Weekly News this year will deservinglv be recognised as one of the most attractive productions that the firm of Wilson and Horton, Limited, lias yet issued," states the Poverty Bay Herald. "This is to a large extent due to the unceasing enterprise that has been shown in the effort to give the public a collection of photographs combining fidelity of reproduction with variety of subjectmatter. New Zealand has been toured throughout its length and breadth." The Hawke's Bay* Herald says: "This year's Christmas Number of The Weekly News combines artistic printing with a range of photographic subjects as varied as it is possible for New Zealand life and scenery to provide. Its pages abound with refreshing studies which possess an irresistible appeal." "The Christmas Number of The Weekly News is a fine production pictorially, and contains in addition interesting reading matter," comments the Press, Christchureh. "The photography and the reproduction have been very well done, and this, with artistic printing, results in an attractive representation of the country's beauty. Lovers of bird life will find the presentation plate a notable addition to thqir collection of pictures." The Hawke's Bay Tribune describes the number as a wonderful achievement for the Dominion, and its illustrations as "exquisite glimpses of New Zealand scenery, perfectly photographed and faultlessly printed." "In addition to purely si?enic studies chosen from widely-scattered points about the country, the cameraman presents in artistic form scenes depicting various phases of our industrial and sporting pursuits. A finer range of views would be difficult to imagine." "The keynote of the issue is freshness," states the Sun, Christchureh. "Not only does it reveal in great profusion and variety the scenic charms of this country, but it also gives a crosssection of New Zealand life by its attention to everyday activities of work and play." The Marlborough Express remarks that the issue more than maintains tho high* national standard of past years. "All parts of New Zealand have been drawn upon to provide the material included in- a number printed on more than 60 pages of art paper. Apart from artistry of theme and printing considerations, the subjects possess a wide appeal." The Christmas Number is now on sale at 2s a copy.
