 make a Shine Cabinet, furnished with foot stand, 

 blacking, russet dressing, shoe rubber — in fact, all 

 articles and materials needed to keep shoes looUing 

 their best — and as it is made to be fastened to the 

 wall of toilet room or kitchen, it does away with the 

 vexatious searching after these articles which is 

 altogether too common. A postal will bring you 

 details of this and other good things.

 he'd never advertise. But his goods were advertis- 

 ed "ere long, and thereby hangs a tale: The ad. 

 was set in nonpareil (this size), and headed 

 SHEKIFFS SALE.— M. T.
