With one accord these exponents of public taste have given our Cards the first rank over all similar productions in the market. We are bound to maintain this superiority; and we have, as heretofore, spared no expense to create, with the aid of oar large experience, a series of novelties for the Christmas season, which, we have no doubt, will meet the expectations of the trade. We have been singularly fortunate in procuring the assistance of, we may say, representative Americas talent in the preparation designs, and besides hftve secured the co-operation of some of the .most eminent European artists. Our line is now completed, and our agentq are on the road to call on oar patrons and friends. An inspection of the sample books will convince them that, in regard to originality and variety of design, excellence and richness in execution, it far exceeds our last year’s effort. To give an idea of the high artistic order of the line, we would say that it comprises: Figure Designs by Miss Dora Wheeler, Miss Resina Emmet, Miss L. B. Humphrey, Miss L. B. Comins, Elihu Yedder, Walter Satterlee, A. F. Brooks, and others. Landscape Designs by W. Hamilton Gibson, Thomas Moran, P. L. Smith, and others. Animal Designs by B. E. Sensed an Harry Beard.

A oup will be sent to responsible parties on 20 days’ trial if desired. In ordering give diameter of cylinder. Notice. —The first lubricators ever made, showing the oil passing drop by drop up through a transparent water chamber, were devised by us, and the same are fully embraced by many Letters Patent, owned and controlled by us, which have been sustained in several hotly contested legal contests. Our customers, therefore, need have no fears in their purchase and use. We are the sole owners of the Sight Feed feature as claimed and used by us, and we shall hold purchasers and users responsible who are encroaching upon our rights by the unlawful use of our devices. Address — DETROIT LUBRICATOR COMPANY, Office —129, Griswold street, Detroit, Mich.
