M. H.Dickin3on has been a leading dealer in Books and Stationery so long 
in Kansas City, (having been one of-the original firm of Matt Foster & Co., for fif- 
teen years) that his name has become a household word in the West. 
He deals in everything pertaining to a first class Book and Stationery store and 
handles only first class goods. The completeness of his stock can only be appre- 
ciated by a visit and personal inspection, but at the same time, he will fill all orders 
by mail with scrupulous care, and no one need hesitate to write for anything 
that he wants, from a Spelling Book to a set of Morocco-bound Classics, worth 
$150, or from a box of Steel Pens to a Pearl-enlaid Writing Desk or a Microscope. 
He employs a force of men constantly on papering Fine Residences, Churches, 
etc., and is prepared to furnish the very Finest Materials and do the Best Class of 
Work at any points in Missouri or Kansas without delay and at reasonable 
figures. 
It is impossible to give here even an approximate list of his goods, but a 
full Catalogue will be sent to any address upon application by letter or postal card. 
Any domestic or foreign book ordered with pleasure, and without extra charge. 
Large invoices of the latest publications from the best houses in the country 
just received.

SPECIAL NOTICE. 
It seems to have become altogether a fixed thing for T. M. JAmEs & Sons, to 
put their latest importations of rich China and Queensware goods and artistic 
novelties on exhibition at the opening of each week and upon arrival of new 
invoices, and the frequency of such receipts affords our citizens many oppor- 
tunities to examine choice handiwork from abroad and emanating from the most 
celebrated patterns and embellished by the hands of eminent artists. To-day 
may be seen in the show windows of T. M. James & Sons a late importation of 
admirable qualities, and splendid display of hand painted vases of Ionic and 
Grecian shapes and decorated in the most pleasing manner in landscapes, sport- 
ing scenes and classic groups. These goods are very seasonable and their price 
is very low, considering their elegance, and will repay a close inspection and 
ought to find a place in a great number of households in our city and suburbs. 
Messrs. James & Sons are still in almost daily receipt of rich Chinaware elegant 
Glassware and a great variety of other goods requisite in their large trade. A 
visit to this great importing house is time profitably spent both in pleasure and 
economy of prices.
