CRANDALL’S GREAT SHOW. — THE ACROBATS. 
FUN FOR THE MILLION. 
Come One, Come All! Here are jolly times for you, Girls and Boys, and 
for your fathers and mothers too; the old folks will be as much pleased as you. 
Here is genuine FUN for you, with nothing about the Show to injure your 
moials, but on the contrary, a great deal to develop your constructive or mechanical 
talents. Ikese new Acrobats of Mr. Crandall are the most wonderful toys we 
have ever seen. It you carefully examine each of the figures on these two pages, 
you will see that.there are only seven different pieces. A box of these Acro¬ 
bats contains four bodies, four heads, eight arms, eight legs, one flag, and six pieces 
of wood, or thirty-one pieces in all, and yet from these few elements you can not only 
make pictures similar to those before you, but many thousands of others. The 
pieces are variously colored, which can not be shown in our ink engravings. They are 
so grooved and jointed and fitted, that they fasten strongly together in all conceivabla 
positions. These amusing new toys are creating a furore among all the children (and 
old folks too) who have succeeded in getting hold of them. Every day’s supply re¬ 
ceived at 345 Broadway, has “ gone off like hot cakes,” and correspondents are in¬ 
quiring for them, their price, etc. They will soon be on sale by the toy dealers 
generally. The Orange Judd Company are selling them as fast as received at $1 a 
box, delivered at 245 Broadway, New York, but if to be sent anywhere out of the 
city, the cost of carriage by express or otherwise must be added to the $1 a box.
