Henry Ward Beeche Said of the Strawberry, "God doubtless might have made a better berry but it was doubtful if he ever had." So we say of our Easter Cards and novelties, "somebody might possibly have better, but it was very doubtful if any body about here ever has. If they have, the stock has never put in an appearance in Astoria and the people who have ex aminee! ours know this to be a fact" Added to this fact comes the further beauty of it, there is none sold for so little money, talk or no talk.
