Nos. 78 to 81.-GOOD WATCHES.- 
Avery good report'comes generally from hundreds of 
our readers who obtained the watches we were able to of¬ 
fer last year. As there has been no change in the price 
of gold and silver, or in prices abroad, we are happy to 
announce that we can continue to offer the same Watch¬ 
es, and on the same terms as last year, so that hundreds 
of others can get them this year. A large supply has 
been orderedjaftde in advance, and we hope to meet all 
calls more prifcptly than was the case last year. 
No. 78.— A GOOD WATCH.— This is a Stem 
Wiuder and Stem Setter, needing no key or 
opening to admit dust. Dial clear, with Second Hand 
(see engraving above). Crystal strong, thick, flat, with 
the new beveled edges ; Case strong, good looking, heavily 
nickel-plated, a good resemblance to silver. Weight, 4% 
ounces. It is the best time-keepe)' for a §10 Watch we 
have ever found. This has been supplied two years with 
general satisfaction. We continue to offer this as a premi¬ 
um for 13 subscribers at §1.50 each, [or supply it for the 
price, $10]. There arc as good looking watches sold for 
§7 to §9—but we have never found another equally good 
time-keeper so low as $10. 
No. 79.—EXTRA SILVER WATCH.— This 
is of the same pattern as the above, and made by the same 
Company in Switzerland, but the case is Coin Silver , and 
the works are of extra HIGH GRADE, with 13 Jewels , 
Compensated Balance, etc.—as good a Watch as any 
$30 or $40 watch we have ever seen. It is good enough 
for anybody. Face about 1% inch in diameter. We of¬ 
fer this Watch with the utmost confidence, that it is one 
of the best and cheapest Watches ever supplied for the low 
price of $15, which is so near the actual cost of making 
No. 82.—Hot-Blast Oil Stove .—The en¬ 
graving represents one of Whitney & Hall's Patent Hot- 
Blast Oil Stoves, made by the Whitney Manufactur¬ 
ing Co., of 1123 Chestnut street, Philadelphia. The cut re¬ 
presents the stove proper, with extension top and oven. 
With one of these articles, we are assured that the entire 
cooking can be done for a small family at mere nominal 
expense, by the use of kerosene oil. Besides the ordi¬ 
nary cooking, it can be used for heating sad-irons, bak¬ 
ing, etc., doing the work as well, with very much less 
heat, than an ordinary cook stove. For 15 subscriptions 
at $1.50 each, we will furnish a stove, an extension top, 
large oven, large broiler, and sad-iron heater [or will for¬ 
ward one for $13.75], the receiver to pay the expressage. 
that we can at best offer it for 20 subscribers at $1.50 each, 
and do not care to furnish it at this rate, except where 
such a Watch is specially desired by our friends. [We 
will supply them to purchasers for the low price of $15.] 
No. 80.—EXTRA SILVER WATCH, for 
BOYS or for MEN who want a smaller Watch. This 
is every way like No. 79, EXCEPT that it is of smaller 
size , the face being about 1)4 inch in diameter. The cost 
is the same except that the smaller case requires a little 
less silver. This we present for 19 subscribers at $1.50 
each. [Or, we will supply it to purchasers for $14.50]. 
No. 81. —EXTRA SILVER WATCH, 
HUNTING CASE. —(Heavy Coin Silver Case). 
This is precisely the same watch everyway as No. 79 
above, EXCEPT that it is in “ Hunting Case ” as shown 
in engraving. It will be presented for 22 subscribers 
at $1.50 each. [We will supply it for the price, $16], 
TAKE NOTICE, about ALL tlie above 
Watches, (Nos. 78 to SI). That we can not 
agree to supply all that may be called for, though we 
expect to do so. They are manufactured with special 
care, in one of the best establishments in Switzerland, 
and can not be obtained or made rapidly. We have a 
large lot ordered, which will come along from time to 
time hereafter, and they will be delivered as fast as 
they arrive, in the order in which applications for them 
come in paid for, either by premium clubs, or in cash. 
Those desiring to secure any one of these watches at 
once as a premium, can send in the price and receive it, 
and when he afterwards raises the full premium club, 
the price can be deducted from his final remittance. 
The recipient will pay the expense of expressage. 
Or we will send either by mail for twenty-five cents extra. 
No. 83.—Houchin’s Improved Patent 
Pocket Cook stove. —With Gridiron and Boiler 
(with folding handles) holding nearly one quart, which 
can be used as a drinking cup, which will boil 
water in five minutes to make two or three cups 
of Tea, Coffee, or Chocolate; to Boil Eggs, Stew Oysters, 
etc. Pour about two tablepoonsfuls of alcohol through 
the wire gauze, and light with a match or taper. The 
Lamp being filled with an indestructible packing will 
not spill or explode. Send two subscribers, at $1.50 
each, and get it free , post-paid. These stoves are made 
by McCoy & Sanders, 132 Duane Street, New York. 
—[We will supply and send one, post-paid, for $1.25.] 
No. 84.—Houchin’s Revolving Grat¬ 
er. —Just the thing for horseradish, pumpkins, squash, 
cocoanut, and other vegetables. From McCoy & San¬ 
ders, 132 Duane St., N. Y. Two subscriptions at $1.50 
each will secure this post-paid (or we mail it for $1 p.-p.) 
No. 85.—Universal Clothes Wringer. 
—(See Engraving above.) — A very useful , time-saving ., 
strength-saving, dolhes-saving implement, that should 
be in every family. Here is a thing that is of great value, 
“ and no mistake about it.” It will pay for itself several 
times a year, in any family. The wringing out of clothes 
by hand is hard upon the hands, arms, and chest, and the 
twisting stretches and breaks the fibres with lever power. 
With this Wringing Machine, the garments are passed 
rapidly between elastic rollers, which press the water 
out better than hand wringing, and as fast as one can 
pick up the articles. A most important feature of this 
Universal Clothes Wringer is the peculiar cog-xulieel ar¬ 
rangement, which makes both rollers turn together, 
and always keep their place. Without these, the crank- 
roller will slip, and pull the fibres, and injure the fabric. 
A multitude of letters of thanks for these Machines, given 
by us as Premiums, have been received. It is easy to 
gather at the regular rate of $1.50 each, only 10 sub¬ 
scribers, and this will secure a pi'esent of one of these, 
very valuable $7.50 Universal Wringers. They are made, 
by the Metropolitan Manufacturing Co., and furnish¬ 
ed by R. C. Browning, 32 Cortlandt St., N. Y. [We 
will supply one of these valuable machines on re¬ 
ceipt of the price, $7.50]. Receiver to pay expressage. 
No. 86. — Doty’s Improved Clothes 
Washer.— Made with the Metropolitan Balance 
Weight. Over seventy-five thousand families are using 
this Washing Machine in the U. S. Made by the 
Metropolitan Manufacturing Co., 32 Cortlandt St.. 
N. Y. Seventeen subscriptions at $1.50 each secures this 
(or we supply it for $14.) Receiver to pay expressage. 
No. 87.—Cornwall’s Patent Broiler. 
—Made of Don, and is provided with a Gravy Pan, which 
receives the juides of the meat, and prevents any drip¬ 
ping into the fire. Fits over any stove, and broiling is 
done with a moderate heat. From same firm as No. 50. 
Two subscriptions at $1.50 each, will secure this (or 
we will supply it for $1.50.) Receiver to pay expressage.
