COMBINATION 

 LANTERN. 



The adjoining cut 

 shows a neat and 

 handy lantern for 

 use about the home. 

 It has three different 

 burners— one for pe- 

 troleum, one for 

 lard oil, and one for 

 a common tallow 

 candle. It is easily 

 taken apart to clean: 

 and to light, the oil 

 fount is taken out of 

 the bottom by press- 

 ing on a couple of 

 springs with the 

 thumb and finger. 

 We can not warrant 

 this lantern not to 

 blow out in a wind. 

 The usual price is 

 .")0c. We otfer them 

 for 40c by freight or 

 express with other 

 goods. They are not 

 mailable. 



LITHOGRAPH LABELS IN 12 COLORS, AT 

 $2.00 PER 1000. 



When Mr. James Abbott, of London. Eng., was 

 with us a year ago, he had samples of a very neat 

 lithograph label, oblong in shape, measuring2'8x2^3. 

 We mentioned them at the time in Gleanings, 

 agreeing to send samples as soon as we received 

 them. Well, they have just come to hand, although 

 we ordered .50,000 over a year ago. They are about 

 the nicest labels we ever saw for glass tumblers, 

 pails, and small packages of lione.w We will mail 

 a sample inclosed in our label catalogue, free on 

 application, ana will furnish them postpaid at the 

 following prices: 5 cts. for 10; -lOcls. for 100: §1 2o 

 for 500; $2.00 for 1000. A. I. Root, Medina, O. 



ONE OF OUR $25 SAW-TABLES FOR $15. 



This table was sold to a customer in Fair Hav(ni. 

 Vt., two or three >eais iigo. He says his supplies 

 have nearly all been made vn another table, and 

 this one has scarcely been used ar all. He sa\s: 

 " It is in perfect ruuning oider, aud the saws are" in 

 good shape, having been tiled only twice, by an 

 experienced hand. The machine is as good as new, 

 except a few scratches." Of course, this table has 

 not our late improvements, such as the screw-aud- 

 chaiii attachment and miter-board, shown in our 

 catalogue, but it is a big bargain to some one at 

 §15.00. A. 1. Root, Medina, O. 



NEW AND SECOND-HANO FOUNDATION- 

 MILLS AT REDUCED RATES. 



We have on hand the following fdn. mills that we 

 desire to dispose of; and to do so we quote these 

 special prices: One 11-inch mill, made about 2 years 

 ago, but has never been used. This mill makes 

 fdn. with the round, or improved cell. It is as good 

 a mill as we could make a year ago; but with our 

 new machine for cutting the rolls we do much bet- 

 ter work now. hence we ofler this mill at the very 

 low figure of ?25.0ii. Regular price §40.00. 



One 12-inch mill, second-hand; has been used 

 about one season, but is in good order. We will 

 sell for $15,011. Regular price $30.00. 



One lOinch mill, made about 3 years ago; has 

 been used almost none; was returned to us because 

 our customer did nor have enough use for it. 

 Regular price ?20.ii0. Will sell lor S15.00. 



One O-incli mill in same condition, and from same 

 man as above lO-inch mill. Regular price 613.50. 

 We will sell for .^10 o:i. 



One 6inch drone-mill, new; never been used; 

 just right for making thin drone fdn. for section 

 boxes. Regular price ^15.00. We will sell it for 

 $13.00. 



One 6-inch Olm mill, made 6 or 7 years ago; bas 

 been used a little, but will do nicely for one who 

 wants to make his own fdn. We will sell it for 

 $8.00. 



One 6incli Pelham mill. A new machine, never 

 been used. We took it in exchange for one of our 

 make. Will sell it for *S.OO.

LEPAGE'S LIQUID GLUE. 



A. 



ROOT. 

 Medina, O. 



Few words of praise are neces- 

 sary for this excellent article, so 

 widely known and advertised. It 

 is one of the best of liquid glues. 

 Always rcad.v for use. Mends 

 every thing. We have 4 different- 

 sized packages. 



Glass bottle like the adjoining 

 cut for 10 cts. ; 75 cts. for 10; $7.00 

 per 100. Half -gill tin cans with 

 screw cap, and brush fastened to 

 inside of cap, price 15 cts. each; 

 *1.10 for 10: .S10.5U per 100. This 

 latter can be sent by mail for 10c. 

 extra for postage and packing. 



Gill tin canwiih brush, 20 cts.; 

 lilfor$1..50; 100 for $14.00; '/s-pint 

 tin cans, no brush, 25 cts.; $2.20 

 for 10; $21.00 per 100. 

 LePage's Mucilaoe, in large bottles, with a nice 



enamel-handle brush, at 10 cts. each: 75 cts for 10; 



$7.00 per 100. This is the best mucilage made, and 



will do nicely in many cases for glue, although it is 



pretty thin to be used as glue.
