THE SUN ALMANAC

MARYLAND'S BLUE BOOK

Back in 1876, The Sun Almanac consisted of 32 pages. This issue is made up of 256 pages. The “Blue Book," as it has been termed, has grown not only in size but in interest and in the hold it has on the hearts of its constituency.

One would not believe, until the finished work is actually right before one's eyes, that so much helpful information could be crowded in so little area. Yet there is hardly an event of any importance connected with the current history of the city, the State, the Nation-yes, even the world that is unrecorded in the Almanac's pages.

The Sun's readers everywhere refer to the data in its pages knowing that the facts and figures therein contained are accurate and authoritative.

And so it is with real pleasure that we present to our readers this 1914 issue of a work of reference that has become value to them and a source of pride to us.
