A SURPRISE PARTY TO MARK TWAIN BY HIS CHARACTERS 
As You Look 
at and recognize the various characters— 
“Tom Sawyer,” “Huck Finn,” “Pudd’nhead 
Wilson” — recollections of the books of Mark 
Twain are brought to mind. “Huck Finn,” 
“The Prince and the Pauper” — those great 
boys’ books which charmed you in your youth 
and that still delight young folks of all ages 
— “Joan of Arc,” that charming romance and 
wonderful biography; “The Innocents 
Abroad” and “Roughing It” — these two 
splendid travel books — inexpressibly funny; 
his essays — that show him as the sane and 
indignant foe of hypocrisy; his short stories 
— that make him known as the master of 
pathos! If you have read all his books, then 
you know the transcendent genius of Mark 
Twain — the philosopher, the humorist, the 
dreamer, the reformer — the greatest Ameri¬ 
can of his time. There is a uniform set — 
The Author’s National Edition of 
MARK 
TWAIN’S 
WORKS 
that contains all of his collected writings. It 
is offered at a low price—-the smallest at which 
the collected works of an author like Mark 
Twain have ever been offered. Mark Twain 
made a great sacrifice to make this possible, 
by accepting a small royalty; we produced the 
best set possible for the price in order to make 
it a lasting monument to his genius. If you 
have not a set of Mark Twain’s Works in 
your library — you owe it to yourself to in¬ 
vestigate our special offer — which will be 
withdrawn when the supply of the present 
edition is exhausted.

THE MAIN ADVANTAGE OF THE 
“Norristone” Sanitary Underground 
Garbage Receptacle 
is the Solid Cast Aluminum Cover 
This gives lightness, strength and durability; no rusting or corroding as is the case with 
cast iron ones. The bright aluminum is pleasing to the eye and is easily located even in the dark. 
The twin lids are so light that a slight touch of the foot to either of the spurs in the rear will 
swing them open, disclosing an eleven-inch opening for depositing the garbage. When the foot 
is removed the lids swing back to closed position. The cylinder, which holds the galvanized 
garbage pail is made of reinforced Norristone Concrete and is indestructible. The pail is 
the only thing about the receptacle that will wear out, and these are standard and can be re¬ 
placed at a small cost.
