CHRISTMAS PRESENTS. 



We want to whisper in the ear of Santa Glaus 

 that, when you are filling your sled with good 

 things for the little boys and girls for Christmas, so 

 near at hand, you will do well to look carefully 

 through our premium list sent to you a month ago, 

 and see if you dou"t tind something there that you 

 will want to put into the sled. If you send us an 

 order we are prepared to put the things on to the 

 first train, and thus do our part to get them to you 

 on time. If you have mislaid the list, we have plen- 

 ty more to send you if you will just let us know on 

 a postal.

THE NEW WATERBURY WATCH. 



We have for many years been selling the Water- 

 bury watch, which you will find pictured and de- 

 scribed on the last page of our price list. We have 

 disposediOf over 25 gross of them, 'and they are truly 

 a marvel for the price, the last series, " E," being 

 well nigh perfection. One of the objections raised 

 against it was that it took so long to wind it. Well, 

 the Waterbury Watch Co. have been at work for a 

 year or more on a new watch, and have just got it 

 ready for the public. This watch is called series 

 " J." It is short wind, like an ordinary watch, stem 

 wind and set, second-hand, expansion balance, jew- 

 eled, and in nickel case, and the price is only $4.00. 

 By mail, registered, 15 cts. extra. I have been car- 

 rying one Qow over a month, and find it is an excel- 

 lent timer. We still furnish the series "E" at f3..5(i. 

 By mail, registered, $3.65. 



SOMETHING FOR THE MEN TO READ, AND LADIES 

 TO PASS BY. 



most, and at the same time be useful in the home. 

 Well, if she hasn't a carpet-sweeper, let me tell you 

 that there is nothing you can possibly get that will 

 be so much of a help, or that will be more highly 

 prized than a good carpet-sweeper. If she has nev- 

 er used one she may not value it so highly at first; 

 but you may rest assured that there is nothing 

 more certain than that she will continue to pri?e it 

 more highly if it is a good practical sweeper, and 

 will never again be without one. The two sweepers 

 shown above we have been selling till within 30 days 

 at $3.00 and $3.00, and in many places you will find 

 the same or similar sweeper selling for $'2.hU and 

 $3.50. We have bought over 30(1 of these sweepers, 

 and are going to sell them, while they last, at $1.50 

 for the Ladies' Friend, and $3.00 for the Goshen. 

 You can not do better than to get one to give to 

 your helpmeet on Xmas.

A. I. ROOT, Medina, O. 



Christmas 18 almost here; and if you are a good 

 and true husband you are no doubt looking for 

 some pleasant surprise for your good wife. Of 

 course, you want something that will please her

A Device to Fasten Windows Up or Down, At Any Point. 



For many years I have been trying to get something 

 better to hold a window up than a stick or book, or some- 

 thing of that sort; but although we have tried them, even 

 paying as high as 75 cts. per window, I have never had any 

 thing please me so well as the one here shown. This de- 

 vice holds the sash securely by friction in any desired po- 

 sition, as tight as if it were in a vise. It prevents the sash 

 from rattling, and excludes the dust by making tight 

 joints, and yet it does not mar the wood. It is put on 

 with two screws, and can be fitted by an inexperienced 

 hand in thrte minutes. It works equally well on upper or 

 lower sash, with or without weights. Printed instruc- 

 tions are furnished with each one, as well as screws to 

 fasten them on with, and yet the price Is only 5 cts.; 

 l.doz. f or 50 cts. ; 100 for $4.00. If wanted by mail, add 3 

 eta. each extra. The above are japanned.
