Stationery Package, that we are now putting in Diamond Rings and 
Gold and Silver Watches every day, to say nothing of the Cash 
Presents, ranging in value from 3d. to £5. This offer is made to 
readers of this publication, and to induce them to buy all their

else, and at the same time may have dropped into their hands at 
any moment a Diamond Ring, £5 Note, or a Gold Watch. 
Every package contains one article of artistic jewellery, sometimes 
worth much more than you pay for the packages. 
HOW CAN WE DO THIS ? is a question often asked, and easily 
answered. We have a regular schedule of presents that we put in 
every one thousand packages. So many Diamond Rings, so many 
£5 Notes, Watches, Sovereigns, 10s. Pieces,.&e. These are all put 
in the packages, then they are mixed up and sold impartially as the 
orders come in, the first order received every day in the mail and 
opened receives the first Stationery Package, the second order 
receives the next, and so on, until they are all used, when another lot 
is made up.

of us. 
Remember when you want nice Stationery, order of us, and you 
will be sure to get value for your money, and probably a great deal 
more.
