No. 40.—Pocket Tool Holder.— 
(See Engraving .)—Every boy (or man) will be glad to get 
hold of this Premium. We kept a similar, but less 
perfect set in use many years, and found it very con¬ 
venient for a thousand little jobs. In a maple handle, 
which is hollow, with a lignum-vitae head, are packed 
twenty small cast-steel tools, any one of which may 
be quickly adjusted to the handle. It will also hold for 
using, anything from an 8-inch mill-file to a cambric nee¬ 
dle. Only 3 subscribers, at $1.50 each, sent to us will se¬

No. 51.—Payson’s Indelible Ink, 
and Briggs’ Marking-Peu Combination. 
—(See Engraving.) — Payson’s Indelible Ink is too well 
known to need further commendation. It is almost In¬ 
dispensable in the family. 
Briggs’ Marking-Pen has 
been before the public for 
fifteen years, and is justly 
celebrated for all kinds of 
marking, and particularly for 
writing upon coarse fabrics. 
The Pen and Ink bottle are 
put up in a neat box-wood 
case; the glass pen unjoints 
in the middle and fits inside 
the case. The whole is thus 
portable and always ready 
for use, and protected from 
injury by evaporation or 
breakage. We hare used this 
pen and ink for several years with entire satisfaction. Pre¬ 
sented, and sent post-paid, to any one who simply sends 
us 2 subscribers, at $1.50 each.—[We will send a botlle 
of the Ink, with Pen, post-paid, on receipt of 75 cents.]

No. 53.—New Tubular Foot I.al lies. 
—These are new First-rate Lathes, the smaller one about 
the size of a sewing machine table, and as convenient 
for the ingenious Man or Boy as the sewing machine is 
for women. It is made strong and durable, with many 
ingenious contrivances that adapt it to a great variety of 
work. With its attachments, it constitutes quite a Ma¬ 
chine Shop; can be set in any room; the foot-gear on 
balance-wheel does away with the need of steam or other 
power.—These Lathes are made of the host materials, the 
spindles, centres, and all working parts of steel; the 
bright parts nickel-plated, the other parts japanned, and 
are mounted upon strong and handsome stands, with 
black walnut tops ; the stands for the smaller size are 
low, so that the operator can use them while seated.— 
They are artistic in design and will be an ornament to a 
sitting-room, while they are sold at as low prices as the 
poor articles usually found upon the market .—Not only 
is such a machine of practical use, but every boy and 
young man who has one, learns to become “ handy,” and 
whatever his occupation, he is ready to fix this thing 
and that, without running to a distant shop for any and 
every repair needed.—These Lathes are of three sizes: 
No. 1 is 17 inches long, swings 6 inches, price $20.00. 
No. 2 is 24 inches long, swings 7J inches, price $25.00. 
No. 3 is 30 inches long, swings 81- inches, price $30.00.
