MONKEYS 



We can't send you a barrel of monkeys, but we can send you our 



"Changing Face" Puzzle 



which is almost as much fun. 

 At the Pan-American Exhibition, this puzzle was pronounced one of the " Biggest 

 Hits " of the Exhibition, and has carried no end of fun to thousands of homes, and set 

 whole villages asking, " How is it done ?" 



Very simple, but will keep you puzzling for hours. 



What People Write Us: 



u The puzzle is exceedingly interesting and ingenious. Have had much fun showing it to friends." 



(From Colorado.) — " It's the cleverest puzzle that ever came over the Pike." 



M I saw a face puzzle of yours to-day and I want one or two. Puzzle is no name for it. A traveling man 



who had tVie one shown me to-day kept the store full of people puzzled all the afternoon."
