"The New San Francisco Magazine is the title of a beautiful and exceedingly artistic magazine w hich has just made its initial appearance. The backers of the proposition had a company formed and their plans matured Just before th? Fire, and they had to seek other quarters and were delayed in getting out their first issue. A branch office, with W. H. Hayden in charge, is now located at 407 J street, Sacramento. Those desiring copies of the magazine can obtain them through the Sacramento office. The San Francisco News Company has charge of their business, and will furnish the newsdealers as soon as possible. A second edition of 40.000 copies Is now on the press and will be off in a few days. Those desiring the magazine are advised to send in their orders at once to the Sacramento office. No expense has been spared by the publishers of The New San Francisco Magazine, and the result is a publication full of beautiful half-tones, some of which are tinted, showing San Francisco before, during and after the tire. The leading matter is timely and interesting, and this new publication promises to take its place among the popular magazines of the Coast." (from the Marysville Daily Appeal, June 1906). Good .
