  The 
  firm 
  of 
  A. 
  E. 
  Foote 
  seldom 
  needs 
  introduction 
  to 
  readers 
  

   of 
  the 
  "American 
  Journal 
  of 
  Science." 
  Founded 
  at 
  Philadel- 
  

   phia 
  in 
  1876 
  by 
  the 
  late 
  Dr. 
  Foote, 
  it 
  has 
  grown 
  steadily 
  in 
  size, 
  

   quality 
  and 
  variety 
  of 
  its 
  stock 
  of 
  mineral 
  specimens, 
  and 
  in 
  

   the 
  extent 
  and 
  volume 
  of 
  its 
  trade. 
  Prize 
  exhibits 
  have 
  been 
  

   made 
  at 
  four 
  large 
  Expositions 
  in 
  the 
  United 
  States, 
  and 
  at 
  the 
  great 
  

   Expositions 
  of 
  London 
  and 
  of 
  Paris 
  ('89), 
  making 
  the 
  name 
  gener- 
  

   ally 
  known 
  among 
  mineralogists 
  throughout 
  the 
  world. 
  As 
  an 
  

   indication 
  of 
  this 
  it 
  may 
  be 
  added 
  that 
  the 
  European 
  trade 
  in 
  cabi- 
  

   net 
  specimens, 
  conducted 
  from 
  our 
  Philadelphia 
  store 
  in 
  recent 
  

   years, 
  has 
  about 
  equalled 
  our 
  American 
  sales. 
  To-day 
  we 
  have 
  three 
  

   experienced 
  mineralogists 
  in 
  the 
  field, 
  collecting 
  and 
  buying 
  exclu- 
  

   sively 
  for 
  us. 
  Two 
  of 
  them 
  are 
  continually 
  travelling 
  ; 
  one 
  in 
  the 
  

   United 
  States, 
  one 
  in 
  Australia. 
  It 
  is 
  evident 
  that 
  this 
  affords 
  

   unequalled 
  facilities 
  for 
  the 
  accumulation 
  of 
  choice 
  and 
  fresh 
  

   material, 
  to 
  a 
  degree 
  unprecedented 
  in 
  mineral 
  dealing. 
  

  

  This 
  increasingly 
  rapid 
  growth 
  of 
  our 
  business 
  in 
  the 
  last 
  twa 
  

   years 
  has 
  led 
  us 
  to 
  establish 
  a 
  . 
  store 
  at 
  Paris, 
  which 
  was 
  opened 
  

   on 
  the 
  Champ 
  de 
  Mars 
  March 
  15th, 
  where 
  a 
  complete 
  stock 
  of 
  

   minerals 
  from 
  all 
  our 
  sources 
  of- 
  supply, 
  will 
  #>e 
  placed 
  before 
  Euro- 
  

   pean 
  mineralogists. 
  Mr. 
  W. 
  M. 
  Foote 
  will 
  have 
  personal 
  charge 
  

   during 
  1900. 
  The 
  two 
  departments 
  of 
  our 
  business, 
  Fine 
  Cabinet 
  

   Specimens 
  and 
  Educational 
  Collections, 
  will 
  be 
  exhibited 
  respectively 
  

   in 
  the 
  American 
  Sections 
  of 
  the 
  Mining 
  Building 
  and 
  the 
  Educa- 
  

   tional 
  Building 
  at 
  the 
  Paris 
  Exposition. 
  Our 
  agencies 
  for 
  the 
  sale 
  

   and 
  purchase 
  of 
  minerals 
  are 
  established 
  at 
  Melbourne, 
  Singapore, 
  

   Yokohama, 
  and 
  Buenos 
  Ayres. 
  The 
  opening 
  of 
  an 
  agency 
  at 
  

   Johannesburg 
  has 
  been 
  delayed 
  by 
  the 
  South 
  African 
  war. 
  At 
  its 
  

   conclusion 
  selected 
  specimens 
  of 
  rare 
  Transvaal 
  minerals 
  are 
  prom- 
  

   ised 
  by 
  our 
  agent 
  there. 
  

  

  The 
  labor 
  and 
  capital 
  devoted 
  to 
  our 
  book 
  department 
  will 
  in 
  the 
  

   future 
  go 
  to 
  minerals, 
  and 
  hereafter 
  only 
  new 
  standard 
  works 
  on 
  

   mineralogy 
  and 
  geology 
  will 
  be 
  sold. 
  The 
  sale 
  of 
  minerals 
  to 
  other 
  

   dealers 
  is 
  discontinued, 
  since 
  new 
  accessions 
  are 
  disposed 
  of 
  -by 
  our 
  

   own 
  stores 
  or 
  agencies. 
  

  

  The 
  business 
  will 
  be 
  carried 
  on 
  under 
  the 
  name 
  of 
  the
