Our line is now completed, and our agents are on the road to call on our 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 for exceeds our last year's effort.

Comins, Elihu Vedder, Walter Satterlee, A. P. Brooks, and others. Landscape Designs by W. Hamilton Gibson, Thomas Moron, F. L. Smith, and others. Animal Designs by B. E. Bensell an Harry Beard.
