THE 
MENAGERIE 
i s 
COMING 
RIGHT TO 
Your House! 
^ (just as soon as you send for it, 
after July Fourth,) 
TO STAY WITH YOU 
One, Two, Three Years, 
and longer, if you don’t abuse 
the Animals. 
(They are very strong, and will keep so, without Eal¬ 
ing anything either, if you treat them fairly.) 
Last year everybody said that C. WI. Cran- 
d;ill had beat the world, when he invented the 
“ Acrobats ”— and so he did, and every one 
who has not had them, must surely have a box 
of Acrobats this year.—But now this same C, 
M. Crandall has “ been and gone and done it ”— 
he has beat HIMSELF, thus : He has invented 
a lUeuagerie of Aaimals, much larger 
than the pictures on this page, and he paints 
them in many colors, and constructs them in 56 
pieces so curiously, that every piece will easily 
fasten to every other piece quite strongly, and thus 
you can change, and change, and change them 
into hundreds and thousands of different animals 
and amusing figures that will produce endless 
FUN. If you spend 1,000 Itays over them, 
you cannot make up all the curious things that 
are in a single menagerie box ! 
They are Wonderful! 
You see on this page only one simple way to 
join them, without taking them to pieces. We 
wanted to show you a thousand other ways, but 
the Editors can’t give us any more room ; we 
could fill every page in the paper for a whole year 1 
Well, we must have a Supplement, to 
6how you a few hundred samples of what you 
can make out of one Menagerie Box. We will 
make the pictures very small, 20 times smaller 
than the real animals in Crandall’s Boxes, so that 
we can get in as many pictures as possible.—Don’t 
fail to see tbe “ Supplement ” sent with every copy 
of this number of the American Agriculturist. 
MORE FUN! 
All the pieces, and whole figures, of Crandall’s 
Acrobats, fit all the pieces, and whole figures, 
of this new Menagerie, so that all who have th» 
Acrobats too, can combine them with the Menage¬ 
rie, and thus have materials for Millions of dif 4 
ferent amusing animals, figures, ete., etc., etc.
