Wooden Cross-section Cards 

 In large range of sizes, both blank and printed to order. 

 These represent an. off-shoot from our regular business, but 

 their intrinsic interest, beauty and appropriateness for neat 

 personal and name cards, announcements, etc., have made 

 them at once popular. Samples, scale of sizes and prices 

 furnished on request. 1 



We have also a limited supply of booklets °f eighteen mounted 

 Wood-sections, selling at $ 1 , and collections of 150 unmounted 

 but neatly boxed roood^se^tions, selling at $2.50, postpaid. 

 These were designed for the tourist trade of various localities, 

 but seemed to be. aboye the taste of the ordinary tourist; 

 hence we are closing them out in our mail order business.
