As we have frequent orders from Publishers and 
others for Electrotypes, Wood Cuts, &c., we have 
concluded to devote special attention in future to 
the furnishing of Illustrations—particularly Electros 
of such Engravings as have appeared in the UciiAt. 
New-Yorker. Of the latter we have several thou¬ 
sand, a largo proportion of them first-class, including 
many engraved from original designs—and as the 
wood cuts are uninjured easts from them will give 
as good impressions as new engravings. Our stock 
of cuts is so large and varied thnt we can supply 
Electros on almost any subject desired, and at prices 
which will make it an object for those wishing Il¬ 
lustrations for Newspapers, Magazines, Catalogues, 
Show-Bills, &c„ Ad., to send us tbeir orders. Those 
having back numbers or volume.!! of the Bubal can 
select therefrom—and to others we can send proofs 
or papers for examination. If we do not always hap¬ 
pen to have what is wanted, wo can probably procure 
or engrave the same without delay, ns wc have a 
competent corps of artists. 
For years past wo have supplied Electros, &c., to 
our triends of the Press, Nurserymen, Florists and 
others, in various parts of the country, and our stock 
and facilities are now such that we think the estab¬ 
lishment of a Bureau of Illustrations in con¬ 
nection with the Rural New-Yorker, will prove 
advantageous to many parties interested. In addi¬ 
tion to supplying Electros, Ac., we are prepared to 
do Wood Engraving promptly and in good style, and 
will also attend to orders for lithographic work, steel 
and copperplate engraving, etc. Address all orders, 
inquiries, etc., to this Office.
