[It is ttx) lato this soason to use any battery 

 for imbedding wire.'* into foundation; but we 

 liope to test this another year, and will then 

 report on the result. One great trouble willi 

 the bichromate-potash batteries is, that the 

 solution gives out— tliat is, it seems to lose its 

 strength in a very short time, and must there- 

 fore be renewed. If there should be a call for 

 such a battery, we can make the necessary ar- 

 rangiMneius to supply them.] 



Special Notices. 



DISCOUNTS FOR EARLY ORDERS. 



We call the attention of our customers to the 

 fact tluit. on such g'oods as you find on pages 10 to 

 :30 of our price list th;it you buy for next season's 

 use between now and Dec. 1, a discount of .5 per 

 cent may be deducted. This applies to goods of our 

 manufacture only, which are found l)etween pages 

 mentioned. 



DAMAGED BOOKS BELOW COST. 



Owing to a leak in the water-tank in the tower 

 above our vault, the walls became damp, and a few 

 co|)ies of our paper-l)ound eililion of the Christian's 

 Secret of a Hajipy Life area little soiled by mold. 

 We offer them by mail postjiaid for 15 cts. each; or 

 by express or freight with other goods, singly or in 

 quantities, at 10 cts. each; reguhir price. 25 cts. 



LAWN-MOWERS. 



A month ago we offered lawn-mowers at reduced 

 prices, to work dtjwai our stock rather than carrj' it 

 over to another season. A good many have taken 

 advantage of tlie offer; and one size, tlie 18-inch 

 Globe, are all gone We still have plenty of the 10 

 and 12 inch, and two each of 14 and 16 inch. The 

 prices we offered then are as follows: 



10-inch Young America $.'^.00 



12-inch " " 3..5II 



10-inch Globe 3.75 



12-inch " 4.(H) 



14-incb " 4.30 



16-lnch " 4.V5 



Above prices are very nearlj- cost, and available 

 as long as the stock lasts. 



STANLEY HONEY-EXTRACTORS. 



Last spring we acquired the riglit to make these 

 machines, and at the same time we bought what 

 stock Mr. Newcomb had on hand. We have offered 

 these at 25 per cent off the regular prices, in the 

 hope of working them off to give us a chance to 

 make some ourselves. Quite a few have been sold, 

 but we still have five or six two-frame machines, 

 and ten or twelve four-frame, with crank directly 

 on the shaft, and no gear. The prices at which 

 these have sold was $12.00 for tiie two-frame and 

 S20.00 for the four-frame; .^s.on extra for the li«n-i- 

 zontal gear. We are still desirous of closing out 

 this stock; and as a further inducement we will sell 

 the two-frame for 18.00, and tlie four-frame for 

 $12.00— almost half price. We will put on our bevel 

 gear, 3 to 1, for ^3.00 each extra. If anybody is in 

 want of one of these macliines he will never have a 

 better chance to buj' one cheap. We bought them 

 low, and can afford to .sell them as above rather 

 than to keep them over till another season. Re- 

 member, this price la.sts only as long as the old 



stock lasts; for when we have to make tlieni new 

 we must charge full list jirice.

 sizes made, but we keep

PRICE LIST OF JONES LITHOGRAPH LABELS. 



25 per cent reduction for 60 days from the follow- 

 ing: 



In order to work down our stock of these labels 

 we offer a reduction of 25 per cent from above 

 prices for the ne.\l 60 days, or as long as stock la.sts. 

 We have Ihe l.argest stock of the 1-lb. light and dark, 

 and they are a very good size for tin pails of almost 

 any size. 



Those of you who have never seen these labels 

 can form little idea how handsome they are; and 

 that you may .see them without much expense we 

 will put up a sample package of 1 of eacii kind, with 

 one dozen of the last named, and mail postpaid for 

 ten cents. Eight of the above may be divided into 2 

 and 3 labels each, so that you can get a small lot 

 (over 30* of handsome lithograph labels, no two 

 alike, for only ten cents. These sample i)ackages 

 w(juld be very good for labeling a small fair 

 exhibit. They would at least add variety. We 

 can not, of course;, print your name and address on 

 the sample package or any number less than 100, 

 and those opposite which we give no price for 

 printing, have no blank place for such printing, 

 and hence can not be printed. All the above are 

 ungummed. You can not get lithograph or many- 

 colored labels on gummed paper.
