Excerpt from The Inter Ocean: Curiosity Shop; For the Year 1881 The three preceding annual volumes of Our. Curiosity Shop are so well known to the readers of The Inter Ocean that this one, the fourth, needs no introduction. Since the issue of the number for the year 1880, numerous and hearty commendations have been received from representatives of many of the leading professions educators, lawyers, editors, and business men generally in regard both to the aim and the character of this form of Our Curiosity Shop; and all have in various ways expressed the opinion that, in its treatment of the myriad subjects it touches, it has been at once thorough and concise, so that none were compelled to search through the usual bushel of chaff for the single coveted golden grain.
