No. 3 ICaster.— Price $10.00.—'This Caster 
produces a very good effect, and makes quite an im¬ 
posing and handsome centre-piece for the dinner table. 
It is eighteen inches high, with a very graceful stem, a 
handle of unique design, and is elegantly chased in as- 
thetic patterns. It contains sir cut-glass cruets, for hold¬ 
ing vinegar, oil, sauce, red pepper, black pepper, and 
mustard; the three last named cruets are furnished with 
screw tops in quadruple silver plate, and each of the sir 
is ornamented with a dainty wreath of flowers encircling 
the widest part of the bottle. This caster will last many 
years, and always he convenient as well as ornamental 
on the dinner table. Presented for 10 subscrip¬ 
tions at $1.50 each ; OR, supplied for the price. Re¬ 
ceiver to pay expressage in either case. 
No. 32.—Breakfast Caster.— Price $ 6 . 00 .— 
The preceding Caster being almost too large and incon¬ 
venient for an informal meal like breakfast, we offer a 
smaller one for morning use. It is a very appropriate 
and elegant article, standing about twelve inches high, 
and beautifully chased in the newest designs. The pat¬ 
tern of the handle is particularly novel and unusually 
artistic. The Caster contains four cut-glass cruets, which 
number is ample for the breakfast table, and they are 
decorated with wreaths of wild flowers and furnished 
with silver tops or cut-glass stoppers. The quality and 
manufacture of this Caster are the same as those of the 
preceding. Presented for 6 subscriptions at $1.50 
each ; OR, sent for the price. Receiver to pay express- 
age. 
No. 33.—Iced “Water Pitcher.— Price $16. 
—An exceedingly handsome and durable pitcher for iced 
water; full size, standing nearly fourteen inches high. 
Very heavily chased, and oramented with flowers and va¬ 
rious figures too numerous to mention particularly here. 
The lining is white porcelain, the most desirable lining 
for an iced-water pitcher, as it is easy to keep per¬ 
fectly clean, and is for that reason the most wholesome 
that can be used for the purpose. A metal lining is very 
apt to rust after long use, and the rvater, by working its 
way underneath the lining, becomes stagnant there, and 
impure, in -which state it cannot but be injurious, and 
affects all the fresh water put into the pitcher. This 
result is avoided by having a porcelain lining, which 
can be renewed when necessary, when the pitcher will 
be rendered as good as new. This valuable article will 
be Presented for 16 subscriptions at $1.50 each; OR, 
will be sent for the price. Receiver to pay expressage. 
No. 34.— Pickle Jar.— Price $4.25.—A very 
useful and ornamental article. It combines four pieces 
in one. A graceful stand nearly twelve inches high, 
made of best quadruple plate on hard white metal, 
beautifully decorated in delicate tracery; a cut-glass jar 
(which can be taken out to be washed and filled), orna¬ 
mented with flower-pattern, and having a dome-shaped 
silver-plated cover, with groups of roses and leaves in 
“alto-relievo” on each side; a pair of slender tongs, 
terminating in two female hands. These tongs are 
pendant from a hook at the top of the handle when 
not in use, and add very much to the graceful effect of 
the whole. Although a pickle jar is not always a neces¬ 
sity on a dinner-table, this one cannot fail to be a thing 
of beauty and convenience. Presented for 5 sub¬ 
scriptions at $1.50 each; OR, supplied for the price. Ex¬ 
pressage to be paid by receiver. 
No. 35. — Card-Receiver.— Price $7.50.— 
Nothing is more elegant and refined-looking in a re¬ 
ception-room than a gold or silver card-basket on the 
centre-table. It is new every time it is cleaned, and pre¬ 
sents a richness and delicacy of appearance for which no 
Ufticle of other material can be a satisfactory substitute. 
The card-receiver we offer is singularly graceful, and of 
the most exquisite workmanship and design, consisting 
of triangular sections of alternate plain and open work, 
with beautifully-shaped stem and handle, ornamented 
in flower pattern. Presented for 8 subscriptions at 
$1.50 each; OR, supplied for the price. The cost of 
carriage to be paid by the receiver. 
No. 36.—Butter Dish.— Price $5.00.—One 
great feature of this butter-dish is that it can very easily 
be cleaned, being, for the most part, of smooth, even 
workmanship. House-keepers will appreciate this advan¬ 
tage in an article which, because constantly handled, re¬ 
quires more polishing than other table furniture. Al¬ 
though tastefully and prettily decorated, the design is not 
one which affords awkward lurking-places for the whiten¬ 
ing used in cleaning. The cover is large and dome¬ 
shaped, to admit of ice nnderneath. It has an ice 
drainer and a pair of rests for the butter-knife when not 
in use. This last is particularly desirable, preventing 
many an embarrassing and annoying accident, and saving 
the clean damask from many a grease spot. Presented 
for 5 subscriptions at $1.50 each ; OR, will be sent for 
the price. Receiver to pay expressage in either case. 
No. 37.—Fruit or Salad Bowl.—Price 
$17.00.—This handsome dish can be used for holding 
fruit, salad, ice-cream, jelly, and a great variety of des¬ 
serts, according to circumstances. It is of remarkably 
fine appearance and workmanship, being in part scallop- 
shell shape, with a tiny landscape medallion in the bot¬ 
tom. It is very elaborately ornamented in various pat¬ 
terns, and measures fully 12x8 inches, standing about six 
inches high. A superb ornament and a very convenient 
bowl for any table. This will be Presented for 17 
subscriptions at $1.50 each; OR, supplied for the price. 
Receiver to pay expressage in either case. 
No. 38.—Chased Syrup Jug.— Price$5.50. 
—To suppose that “any” jug will do for holding syrup 
or molasses, is a great mistake. An article for this pur¬ 
pose, besides having a cover, should be furnished with 
the interior arrangement for preventing the thick liquid 
from hardening after each pouring. Such a jug is the 
one we offer, the spout seen in the engraving being 
merely for effect, not capable of being used. This Jug is 
nearly eight inches high, of a very graceful shape and 
elegant ornamentation. Presented for 6 subscrip¬ 
tions at $1.50 each; OR, supplied for the price. Ex¬ 
pressage to be paid by the receiver. 
No. 39.—Silver and Gilt DrinkingCup. 
—Price $4.00.—This Cup would make a lovely present lor 
achild. It is of “Niello” finish, with gilt lining, and 
prettily decorated with tiny “Marguerites,” or field-dai¬ 
sies. The handle is a twisted serpent of delicate work¬ 
manship, and on the front of the cup is an open space, 
where the owner's name is to be engraved among the 
Everything upon this page is made from very Latest Patterns.
