Our Christmas EditionWe have received quite a number of complimentary comments on the Christmas edition of The Sun, dated December 19th, all uof which we appreciate very highly.Of some twenty exchanges which reach our desk every *week there was only one whose Christmas issue exceeded it in number of pages or amount of advertising carried. This onej exception was the excellent number of the La Grange Citizen published by Loomis Nickless. The Sun issue consisted of twenty pages, and carried sixty-three columns of advertising, or 1260 inches of Christmas display. Beautiful Christmas pictures and selected reading matter filled the balance of the space. It was enclosed in an artistic cover printed by the three-color process.We print below a letter from Mr. C. B. Cook of the Western Newspaper Union, a man into whose hands come every week thousands of weekly newspapers published in the middle and western states:Western Newspaper Union, Chicago; December 29, 19J4.Publisher “Sun, Blue Island, 111.Dear sir:—In looking over my exchanges today I find a copy of your holiday edition of the “sun” dated December 19th.
