TRADE MARK
COMMANDER PEARY, whose name will be associated
with the discovery of the North Pole as long as the world
exists, was born at Crisson Springs, Pennsy lvania, May 6,
1856, and entered the U.S. Navy in 1881. In 1886 he began
those intrepid explorations of the Arctic Regions, which
have made his name a household word throughout the world.
He has undertaken no less than eignt voyages in these ice-
bound regions, arriving as far North as 87 degrees on his
seventh voyage-1903-6.
This portrait of the great explorer is absolutely authentic,
having been painted in the Arctic Regions by Albert
Operti, the official artist attached to this expedition.
Commander Peary has now, however, eclipsed all his
previous attainments by at last reaching his life's goal, the
North Pole, on April 6, 1909.
