No. 1. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT BIDDING COMMANDER PEARY GOD SPEED at Oyster Bay, July, 1908, on his dash for the pole, which terminated successfully April 8th, 1909. Septem- ber 1st, 1909, Dr. Frederick A. Cook electrified the world with the announce- ment that he had planted the stars and stripes at the pole April 21st, 1908, and five days later the world was again electrified by the announcement that Commander R. E. Peary had also at- tained the goal. CHICAGO KAWIN & CO Post Gard TWO CENTS No. 2. DEPARTURE OF COMMAN- DER PEARY ON BOARD THE STEAMER "ROOSEVELT," showing throng bidding him farewell at Oyster Bay, July, 1908. After repeated ef- forts by daring men and the sacrifice of hundreds of lives in the cause of science Peary braved the dangers of the frozen north in his final dash over icebound waters and snow covered stretches of land in the Arctic region. CHICAGO KAWIN & CO FOR ADDRESS ON TWO CENTS No. 3. STEAMER "ROOSEVELT" AS IT APPEARED AS IT LEFT OYS- TER BAY on the dash for the Pole. The steamer fought her way through thick fogs and heavy ice drifts and made land at last at North Star Bay, in Greenland. Here the hunt came practically to an end, and preparations for the polar trip began in earnest. The steamer pushed on to Etah, on the west coast, where a small house was built to accommodate the men and sup- plies. KAWIN & CO. CHICAGO Post Gard TWO CENTS No. 4. COMMANDER PEARY AND CAPTAIN HOSES BARTLETT outlin- ing the course that they would pursue with few changes. They took the "Roosevelt" to Etah via Sydney, Nova Scotia, the Straits of Belle Isle, through Davis Straits into Baffin's Bay and Smith Sound to the Greenland base of operations. There they would leave stores of food for the return trip and stopping in the Whale Sound region to take on his Eskimos and dogs. CHICAGO KAWIN & CO Post Gard TWO CENTS No. 5. THE CREW AND CAPTAIN OF THE "ROOSEVELT." Capt. Bart- lett, experienced with Peary in the pri- vations of the Arctic regions, is indi- eated by the cross. Men who were willing to brave unseen perils and dan- gers in the cause of conquest and hon- or to their mother country-America- such were these inen and so their ef- forts were crowned with success. CH.CAGO KAWIN & CO Post Gard TWO CENTS No. 6. COMMANDER PEARY IN ARCTIC DRESS. After the discovery of the American Continent and after the thorough exploration of the At- Fantic and Pacific Oceans, there was a feld left which demanded greater he- Poism, greater endurance with greater perils than any other part of the Clobe. This region lay far up toward the North, the North Pole. It was the land of everlasting snow fields, of stupendous icebergs, of terrible storms, the Land of the Midnight Sun.

PEARY IN HIS LIBRARY, laying plans for the race to the earth's top. Commander R. E. Peary was born May 6, 1856, and entered the U. S. Navy, 1881. He is famous for his Arctic discoveries, and has been in charge of several ex- peditions on the western coast of Greenland. On the third voyage Peary attained Latitude 84°-17 with the highest point yet attained in the Western Hemisphere. On the fourth and last voyage Peary attained Lati- tude 90° the North Pole.

Like men in their diligence of plenty, so like men in the desperation of starvation. They ate their harness to sustain their life and carry the expedition to success. CHICAGO KAWIN & CO. al TWO CENTS No. 12. PEARY'S SHIP FAST IN THE ICE PACKS. News has arrived the necessity of blasting their way through and in case unsuccessful, to use the vessel as a basis of supplies for future trips overland. KAWIN & CO, CHICAGO Post Gard FOR ADDRESS ONY TWO GENTS ** No. 13. THESE ARE THE STURDY LITTLE HORSES OF THE NORTH, upon which the success or failure of the expedition depends for the over- land trip. Carriers of provisions, in times of necessity, they themselves be- came the provisions for the starving explorers. CHICAGO KAWIN & CO al TWO CENTS No. 14. NOT ONLY THE PRIVA- TIONS AND TERRORS OF COLD, but the unhidden perils of drifting ice blocked their way. But the obstacles that seem impassible in the end gave way to the persistence of human en- deavor.. KAWIN & CO, CHICAGO Post Gard FOR ADDRESS ON TWO CENTS No. 15. HOW PROVISIONS WERE STORED IN CACHES ALONG THE POLAR ROUTE. The greatest care is required to protect their return. Along the route they must bury their food supplies to protect their return trip, thus insuring a successful return and enabling more rapid progress with a lighter load. CHICAGO KAWIN & CO. Post Gard FOR ADDRESS ON TWO CENTS No. 16. SIGHT WHICH BROUGHT JOY TO THE HEART OF THE POLAR EXPLORER-THE AURORA. A sud- den blaze of light, bluish green and red softened into each other, illumines the pitch darkness of the arctic night, a pale lambent ray shoots upward to the zenith, flickers a moment. then a thin veil overspreads the heavens, dy- ing slowly. mingling with the black- ness (by contrast) of the polar ice.

The struggles necessary on the journey were beyond description and made some of the strongest hearts turn back. As in past history the out, it is the survival of bravest wins the fittest. CHICAGO KAWIN & CO Post Gard FOR ADDRESS ONY TWO CENTS No. 18. PEARY'S PARTY IN A HARD CLIMB. Climbing ice, floes and dangerous places became a business; thrills and little of the pleasure at- tending mountain climbing, but "suc- cess attained is proportionate to ob stacles overcome." CHICAGO KAWIN & CO Post Gard FOR ADDRESS OF TWO CENTS No. 20. "I HELPED." The man receives the glory, the dog performs his duty faithfully, unnoticed.

Post Gard TWO CENTS No. 23. STEAMER "ROOSEVELT" BANKED WITH SNOW. Struggling through floes and storms the vessel has forged its way until it now lies still as winged bird. Here the explorer leaves the all too few comforts of vooden walls and casting fear and do bt asidé plunges into the midst of per's and terrors unknown. CHICAGO KAWIN & CO Post Gard TWO CENTS BASES Post Gard No. 24. AFTER A HUNTING TRIP. Hunting, a recreation to all, here be- comes of the sternest necessity. Man must live and the seal and bear have oft times furnished the only means of subsistence. Only men who have suf- fered the pangs of hunger can appre- ciate the keen joy this sight must have afforded the explorers. CHICAGO KAWIN & CO FOR ADDRESS ON TWO CENTS No. 26. DR. FREDERICK A. COOK IN ARCTIC DRESS. Alone in the vast expanse of ice and snow, nothing but ice, snow and crevices met the eye, and the explorer forced his way over the ever present cracking ice with the knowledge that a mistake meant not only death, but the failure of his long cherished desire to meet success. CHICAGO KAWIN & CO Post Gard FOR ADDRESS ONY TWO CENTS No. 28. SCHOONER "JOHN R. BRADLEY." The outspread sails gave the appearance of a bird wending its way in and out amid the icebergs. Each precious mile, a mile nearer the goal and each to lessen the greater toils and sacrifices to come. CHICAGO KAWIN & CO Post Gard FOR ADDRESS ON DOMESTIO TWO CENTS No. 29. DR. COOK STARTING OUT ON HIS DASH TO THE POLE. The sledge with its sails, the same sure- footed animals ahead gave the appear- ance of boys at play. But here the heart of the explorer met the severest test. His back to civilization with this slight equipment he makes his final dash into the realms of the unknown. CHICAGO KAWIN & CO Post Gard TWO CENTS No. 30. TRAVELING NORTHWARD BY SLEDGE TRAIN. After the Schooner "Bradley" was caught and wrecked in a floe of Arctic ice at Etah on the west coast provisions for eight- een months were left behind and traded with the Eskimos for sledges, two can- vass boats and other necessaries. CHICAGO KAWIN & CO TWO CENTS No. 31. AN ESKIMO DOG SLEDGE IN POLAR EXPLORATION. Much of Cook's hard work was lost in circui- tous twists about troublesome pres- sure lines and high irregular fields of very old ice, in spite of what seemed like long marches Cook advanced but little more than 100 miles in nine days. CHICAGO KAWIN & CO Post Gard FOR ADDRESS ONY TWO CENTS No. 32. ONE OF THE WHITE BEARS KILLED WHILE ATTACKING THE EXPLORERS. The king of the polar regions yields his flesh and fur. A peril to the explorers, he in turn becomes their ally. Unknowingly, un- wittingly, this proud king of the Arc- ties yields his life to the advance of science. KAWIN & CO.

Could they but speak to tell the centuries of hidden building, then all would bow in rever- ence to their majestic powers. Float- ing kings before whom all must yield the right of way. CHICAGO KAWIN & CO Post Gard TWO CENTS BEEN Post Gard No. 35. GREENLANDER MAN AND WOMAN. The Eskimos were the only companions of Cook and Peary on their final dash to the North Pole. The climate of Greenland prepared these people for the hardships of these po- lar expeditions. Denmark provides all materials to these people, who in re- turn give them products of the chase. CHICAGO KAWIN & CO FOR ADDRESS ONY TWO CENTS No. 36. POLAR CAMP. There is but one stepping stone in the Arctic regions between the world of men and the hitherto impenetrable mystery of the Polar seas, and that is Etah, 2 kuddle of Eskimo huts on the western coast of Greenland, by the shore of Smith Sound. In order to economize the life saving heat several families dwell together in one hut. In fact, the whole life of the Eskimo is based upon the communal idea: the tribe works together, eats together, and sleeps to- gether. There is neither poverty nor riches. All take what they need from the common store, and such a thing as starration or homelessness is un- known, CHICAGO KAWIN & CO Post Gard FOR ADDRESS ONY TWO CENTS No. 87. HAULING IN WALRUS. Incident of the explorers' experiences in the Arctic region and typical of a fortunate kill, described in the explor- er's story, when the capture of a wal rus saved the party from starvation. CHICAGO KAWIN & CO Post Gard al TWO CENTS No. 38. ALUMINUM SLEDGE USED BY DR. COOK FOR FINAL DASH. Science comes to the rescue. An aluminum sledge must afford the light- est burden. Every pound saved is a pound of provisions gained. The soul and life of the expedition-perhaps a mile more, perhaps the last and suc- cessful mile.

These simple, strong, sturdy and faithful men are the best adapted to carry into successful ex- ecution their master's plans. The evo- lution of the hardiness of years was a greater asset than the refinement of civilization. CHICAGO KAWIN & CO Post Gard TWO CENTS No. 41. INTERESTING HOME GROUP OF DR. COOK'S WIFE AND CHILDREN. Perhaps here lay the inspiration. Many times this picture doubtless presented itself to the ex- plorer's mind, only to cause his ef- forts to be redoubled in the anticipa- tion of what must have been the sweetest appreciation of all-his fam- ily's.

Impassable except by seldges, they must drag their boats or await their disappearance. Encouragement met by persistence, each a victory to overcome the next.
