SIDE LIGHTS OF TRADE. 
_ Spratt’s Patent (America), Limited, Newark, N. J., has 
issued an illustrated calendar for 1906, which, like those 
of previous years, is illustrated, and contains a full list 
of their products, a valuable list of reference for the- 
owners and fanciers who desire dog and poultry foods 
and medicines. 
The calendar for 1906, issued by the Baker Gun & 
Forging Co., Batavia, N. Y., is composed with rare 
skill. The central figure portrays a young lady of 
phenomenal sweetness and beauty, clad in a neat and 
becoming hunting costume, and armed with a double 
shotgun. The borders are artistically adorned with 
themes of the woods and waters. 
PUBLISHERS’ DEPARTMENT. 
The Jos. Dixon Crucible Co. is well known as a manu- 
facturer of graphite in all its forms. There seems to 
be small connection between a lead pencil and a yacht’s 
bottom, and between a yacht’s bottom and the inside of 
a gun barrel, yet for all these purposes graphite in some 
of the forms manufactured by the Jos. Dixon Crucible 
Co., of Jersey City, N. J., is used. Persons who are 
interested in any of these forms of graphite will do well 
to send to the company for its booklet, which will be 
furnished without charge.
