OME TEN YEARS AGO the publishers of 

 the Scientific American issued an index of 

 leading manufacturers. This book has proved 

 so popular that the demand has warranted an entire 

 new edition. The invaluable list tells where to buy 

 almost any article, and buyers who fail to find the 

 information they desire can have their wants specially 

 looked up without charge, and if necessary we will 

 advertise their wants in our inquiry column without 

 expense. The first edition of this index is only 

 15,000 copies, so that early application is necessary.
