dear ice it is worth knowing that among
the various methods for keeping and mak
ing water cool, none is much better or
easier than that practised in the East. The
water is put into jugs, bottles or wine cool
ers, which are placed in buckets tilled with
salt and saltpetre, and then turned rapidly
until the water almost reaches the freezing
point.

How TO MAKE BUSINESS LIVELY.—The
Pittsburg Poet says;
_We were waited upon yesterday by one
of the most liberal advertisers in The Post,
who ordered his advertisement displayed
to double its usual size during the dull sea
son, prefacing his remarks with the state
ment that business was rather dull now,
and that is the way he took to liven it up—
had always found it paid. He is one of our
most enterprising and successful merchants,
always sells his goods at the lowest prices,
and perfectly understands where, when and
how to advertise.
SPENDING MoNay.—Some one writes,
both gracefully and forcibly: "I would be
glad to see more parents understand that
when they spend money judiciously to im
prove and beautify the house and ground
about it, they are paying their children a
premium to stay at home as much as possi
ble to enjoy it; but when they spend
money unnecessarily on fine clothing and
jewelry for their children they are paying
them a premium to spend their time from
home, that is in those places where they
can attract the most attention and make
the most display."
ANOTHER BANK FOR COLITMISIA.—By an
advertisement which appenod in the Lan
caster Xntelligencer and Harrisburg Patriot,
notice is given that application will be
made at the next Legislature, "for the in
corporation of a Savings Bank, with dis
counting, depositing and safe trust privi
leges," under the name of "The Columbia
Dime Savings Bank," and to be located in
Columbia, in the county of Lancaster, with
a capital of $25,000, with the privilege
of increasing it to $100,000."
Who the incorporators will;be, remains to
be found out, when the charter is granted.
Gem) Ur.—The vagaries of the gold and
bond market can be accurately ascertained
each day at 10 A. M., and 2 P. M. by call
ing at the Columbia Deposit Bank. The
officers of this Institution have erected a
large bulletin board, which shows the latest
quotations, twice each day at the hours
above named, of gold, silver, stocks, bonds,
,tc. The public, and business men especi
ally are invited to call in and note quota
tions. In view of the European complica
tions, and the sudden fluctuations of the
money market, this will be quite an accom
modation. Often the progress of the conflic
on the other side may be noted by the fluc
tuations on " boards."

Ninety-nine in the Shade.
.4. 31.1D.SUADEER ODE.
Oh for a lodge in a garden of cucumbers!
Oh for an iceberg or two at control !
Oh for a vale which at midday the dew cumbers:
Oh for a pleasure trip up to the Pole!
Oh for a little one-story thermometer,
With nothing but Zeros all ranged in a row !
Oh for a big double-barrelled hydrometer,
To measure this moisture that rolls front my
brow
Oh that this cold world were twenty times cold
er!
(That's irony red hot it seemeth to me,)
Oh for a turn of Its dreaded cold shoulder !
Oh what a comfort an ague would be
Oh for a grotto to typify heaven,
Scooped In the rock under cataract vast !
Oh for a winter of discontent even !
Oh for wet blankets judiciously cast !
Oh for a soda-foun spouting up boldly
From every hot lamp-post against the hot sky;
Oh for proud maiden to look on me coldly.
Freezing my Soul with a glance of her eye!
Then oh fora draught from a cup of"cold pizen !"
And oh for a resting place in the cola grave!
With a bath In the Styx, where the thick shad
ow lies on
And deepens the chill of its dark running
wave!
FEMALE SELECT SCHOOL.—Tho Misses
Chamberlin, we aro pleased to notice, will
open a select school for young ladies, in
Smith's Building, No. 137 Locust street,
on the Ist of September. Their card appears
on the first page of to-day's paper. As
there announced, they propose only to take
a limited number of pupils and adapt the
course of training so as to make it most thor
ough and comprehensive, and will bend all
their energies to make the enterprise a suc
cess.
From what we have learned, this school
has been started at the solicitation of some
cf our citizens, w•ho are anxious to provide
just such instruction for their daughters %
The Misses Chamberlin come with the most
flattering recommendations, and sponta
neous testimonials. They are lathes of the
finest culture and taste, and are well qual
ified to supply a want so long felt. If prop
erly encouraged, which we trust they will
be, their enterprise will be made a perma
nent feature of Columbia. 'We cordially
commend the undertaking to our citizens,
as in every way worthy of their liberal
support. •

Re-organized. ft
We aro pleased to announce in our issue
of this week, that the Columbia Fire In -
surance Company has been thoroughly
reorganized, with a new board of Meet s
and Directors as follows :
OFFICERS.
President—S. S. Detwiler.
Vice President—Hiram Wilson.
Secretary—J. W. Prueauff.
Treasurer—Herbert Thomas.
BOARD Or DIRECTOCS.
S. S. Detwiler. Herbert Thomas

It had become apparent to a large num
ber of the managers, that the affairs of the
Company had not been directed with that
economy, carefulness and prudencejwhich
should mark the management of an institu
tion of so much importance as this, both
locally, and all over the state. A thorough
and careful investigation was made into its
standing by disinterested parties of char
acter, experience and skill as accountants,
who reported at length to the Directors the
assets and liabilities of the Corporation.
From this report enough could be gathered
to restore unlimited confidence in its solv
ency, and its ability to pay off every dollar
ofjust liability, and to take a new start in
its field of usefulness. After several meet
ings the management was entrusted to the
board of officers and directors named above.
The board has levied an assessment, large
enough to pay off all debts of the company,
has abolished all unnecessary expenses, and
have since re-organization taken new insur
ances on the mutual plan, thus strengthen
ing the Company by increasing the amount
of its notes. Believing that in order to suc
cessfully solioit business from abroad, the.
Company must first establish its confidence
at home, where its managers are known,
they confidently appeal to the citizens of
Columbia, and to the people of Lancaster
county for aid and patronage. The assets
amount to upwards of three hundred thou
sand dollars. In the past 10 years it has
paid upwards of ‘ 9325,000 for losses. All
honest and legal claims will be promptly
settled and paid, but claims believed to be
fraudulent will be carefully sifted and
justly disposed of.
The Company insures on the stock and
mutual plan, but will for the present de
cline all specially hazardous risks, con
fining them to dwellings, farmer's and mer
chandise risks. Columbia, with the well
known enterprise of her citizens, with 13
furnaces, several rolling mills, with such
banking institutions as the Columbia Na
tional,First National and Columbia Deposit
Banks, with other industries as well as the
business incident thereto should be able to
build up and continue to sustain, a first
class Fire Insurance Company, such as the
Columbia, under the new management
must become. A new life has been infused,
and a new determination to make it one of,
the most reliable as well as the strongest
company in the state. This can, and wo
know will be done. The company desires
to secure the services of first class men
throughout the state to act as agents in their
several localities ; such persons should ad
dress the secretary of the Company by mail
or apply in person.
—Maj. T. F. Frueauff, the new Secretary
of the company is a gentleman well calcu
lated to inspire confidence, and win the pa
tronage of the business community. Apart
from his administrative qualifications, he
is a man of the finest literary taste and cul
ture, baying spent three and a half years
in Europe in the parsuit of his studies. He
studied awhile at Berlin, and subsequently
graduated at Heidelberg with the degree of
D. C. L. The degrees at this eminent insti
tut ion consist of 4 classes-the first being the
highest, and rarely conferred on foreign
ers. Maj. Frueauff is the only American,
whom the faculty has ever honored with
that degree—an honor alike to himself and
his native land. Upon his return to Amer
ica he opened an office in , Ilaston,
engaged in the practise of the law; combin
ing with it some interest in the insurance
business, which at that time was recefiving
so much attention. At the breaking nut of
the rebellion, he was among the first and
most ardent in rallying in defence of his
flag. At Chancellorsville, while serving on
the staff of Gen. Devens, he was wounded,
but soon after rejoined his command. At
Gettysburg he commanded the 153 Rogq.
Pa. "Vol's, and here as well as during the
whole campaign, he served with marked
distinction. In 1.366 he resumed his prac
tice, and was upon the organization of the
World Mutual Life Insurance company ap
pointed its general agent for Pennsylvania.
The World exhibits all the strength and
prosperity of companies many years its se
nior, and is now considered one of the most
reliable inexistence. Maj. Frueauff will con
tinue his official relations with this compa
ny and attend to its business as before.
We congratulate our citizens upon a
change which has been the means of bring
ing into our midst a gentleman combining
such rare social and business qualities, are
one who is eminently calculated to restore
the credit of the Columbia Fire Insurance
Company, and thus maintain the credit of
oar town. Anything like a failure of this
company might justily be regarded by us a
public calamity, as it would involve not
only the credit of the corporation but the
good name of the town as well. All should
be willing to avert such a disaster. Maj.
Frueauff is determined to leave nothing
undone which will increase the prosperity,
and the credit of the company, at home
and abroad. We can pay him no higher
compliment than is contained in that oft
quoted saying, " the right man in the right
place."

THE Columbia Spy, of last week, charges
us with copying their locals without giving
credit. We have no knowledge of appro
priating any locals from the columns of that
paper, but if we have, we ask pardon, and
will try to avoid it in future. In the satnc
issue of the Spy we find at least three items
among the locals that wo have seen in
other journals, previous to that issue of the
Spy.- -Does the Spy steal ? Wrightsville
Star.
The Star man has suddenly found out
that ho has "no knowledge." He had not
made a confession of it before, hence last
week we "stirred" him up slightly. The
above is a part of the result. The other
part consists of twenty-two lines of valu
able (?) local matter devoted especially
to the Spy. The Star is illuminated
with an editorial (?) entitled " Duty on
Iron," which corresponds verbatim et lit
eratim, with a like editorial in _Father
Abrahams of this week. The article of course
is original with the Star, as Father Abra
ham was published a day or two earlier.
Twinkle, twinkle, little Star,

THE COLOMBIA AND PORT DEPOSIT RAH,
ROAD.—Tho work on this railroad is pro
gresging. The track is laid to a point north
of the mouth of the Octoraro creek, and
Mr. Hutchison, engineer, is now engaged
with a corps of men in permanently ',mat
ing the route of the road from Peach Bottom
to Columbia, We are glad to hear that
this:important enterprise is being pushed to
completion. The new road will be a benefit
to the people of Fulton, Drumore, Idartic
and Conestoga townships and will greatly
facilitate the shipment of the farm products
of those townships to the ports of Baltimore
to Philadelphia. By means of this road
the slate of the Peach Bottom quarries can
be shipped in all directions, and a new im

growing branch of industry.—/nteifigenccr,
ALMOST A. DISASTEIC.—SOVeraI mischiev
ous boys built a tire in one of the streeets
of B. B. Martin's lumber yard on Thurs
day, on either side of which, and only a
few feet from it; were piles of well seasoned
lumber. The smoke attracted the attention
of several of the yard hands, who reached
the spot in time to prevent what might
have been a general conflagration. - Such
mischievous fellows cannot be too severely

THE TRAVELER.
From Washington to Columbia
Of all the ills that e'er beset a man,
Point to worse trials, reader, if you can
From Washington to Baltimore the way
farer enjoyed a very pleasant trip. Good.
easy riding carriages, polite attendants,
and even road are the blessings encounter
ed on the Washington Branch of the B. St
0. It. R. At "the city of monuments" one
invariably feels at home, and the inclina
tion is to remain, a day or two, and enjoy a
drive through its avenues and Parks at
eventide where and when the elite do most
like to congregate. AIL this was enjoyed
by the sojourner for a short season, and
the only regret remains CO haunt him, is
that a limited time only was allowed by
business engagements.
The next move was Eastward, by way of
the Northern Central R. R. Having; as
was thought, diligently songht to familiar
ize himself with the departure of each train.
and becoming satisfied in his mind,through
representations made by the clerks of Bar
uum's City Hotel and the Maltby House,
as taken from a schedule, of the arrival and
departure of trains, conspicuously display
ed for the guidance of the traveler—he pre
pared to take " the 3.30 P. M. accommoda
tion direct through to Columbia, Pa.," and
checked his baggage accordingly. This
was on Saturday thelGth inst.
It is useless to tell the height of the mer
cury, as all are familliar with the roasting
weather of the 16th, 17th and 18th. Suffice
to say he was in thneat the "Ticket Office,"
Culvert Station, and as was asked for—he
received "a through ticket to Colum
bia." Precisely at the appointed time
bid farewell to the depot and was off. Bus
iness of importance induced an anxiety to
travel fast, and with this part of the pro
gramme, no fault can be found. About
three hours travel brought us to York, Pa.
Who has not heard of York(!)? For my
part I care neyer to hear of it or see it agan !
But this is premature in my narrative.
"Where are you going Mr.?" asked a
rather impertinent and inquisitive individ
al beside me, just before we reached the
"_haven of rest."
"To Colunfhla, Pa." said the wayfarer,
showing his through ticket (?)
" Can't do it, stranger, no train thro' to
night."
Imagine my chagrin at being so unmet--
mercifully deceived by the Hotel clerks
and ticket-agent at Baltimore. If one can
not place dependence in the representations
of Hotel attaches, or the agents of a Rail
road, as to the arrival and departure of
trains, from and to given points, who are
we to appeal to? Perhaps the President
of the road can solve the problem. I had
been stopped in York, (be ir remembered
that this is " little York" of the State of
Pennsylvania), and there I had to stay not
for an hour or a day, but for a longer time
than that, before I could use my 'through
ticket to Columbia.' My baggage had been
previously checked to Columbia, and I was
minus every article of underwear necessa
ry to a change which the heat and dust
along the route rendered so necessary. Was
ever mortal in so disagreeable or perplex
ing a situation ? Not this one, surely !
A Hotel was sought and soon found. A
bath, towel, comb and brush rendered me
a tribe more comfortable. Night came--
and soda water fountains were in demand,
where a sot of beverage was dispensed at
Jive cents a glass (too high price by four
and a half cents,) one swallow was enough,
and I sauntered back to the Hotel, seeming
more dead than alive, and almost overcome
by the heat of more than tropical severity
whiati seemed to concentrate in that partic
ularly delightful (?) village, where houses
people and streets seem to vie with other in
par excellence of uncleanliness.
The Sabbath dawned at length, and re
revealed the fact that the air was slightly
cooler, but as Sol arose with his scorching
rays penetrating the smoky horizon,
beasts and fowls, bids and men sought
the shady places of earth, and tried to
keep cool. I like York ! Who does not
like the place—particularly on a Sunday,
when the heat points to 102 degrees? The
fare is sumptuous—stale vegetables, and
warm lime-water ! ! Nothing freah or cool
in the town ! No ice ! - They never use ice
on the Sabbath day in-"little York" They
are a religious people,and believeit a crime.
Imagine the comforts to be enjoyed in such
a place—and couple them with the chagrin
and disappointment of the writer—and tell
his feelings on that eventful day if you can.
Their charges for these comforts are very
moderate (!)—try them and see ! When I
go to Columbia again, it will not he by
way of " little York" -Oil, dear, no ! Wil
mington, Del., shall be where I'll change
cars. Tnoy are civilized in Wiimingtoti.
Monday came, and 1 was awake already
waiting for its clawu. The "through ticket"
,was brought into requisition—aud I was
ramblingly pushed, or dragged—(l know
not which,) towards Wrightsville and co
la:rib:a. An interim of uncertainty brought
rile, at length to the bridge—and my jour
ney was soon ended. "Go see what I have
seen !—Go feel as I have felt !!"—that's
all !!! Columbia is a delightful place, well
situated and thriving in everything that
constitutes a city. The people are civilized
and courteous. I like the place and inhab •
hunts.
—" An excursion to Litiz" attracted my
attention, and being solicited to go,
availed myself of tho opportunity and went.
Litiz Springs are somewhat noted in the
history of the country, and particularly of
Pennsylvania. A spring of crystal medi
cated water flows from the granite rocks at
an average of a million gallons per hour,
and those who avail themselves of its use
may well congratulate themselves for hav
ing paid a trip to "the springs." Aside from
the water, Litiz is not a very inviting
place, although many of the elite of the
surrounding towns are seen promenading
its shady walks, and sipping occasionally
of its delicious beverage.
But to the Excursion I must turn a little
attention. So fur as I could glean, it was
under the auspices of the E. E. Lutheran
church—and proved a pleasant success—
notwithstanding the fact that too much
water (?) was imbibed by one or two young
gents, who thoughtlessly reeled perhaps
under itsseductive influences. Ladies and
children seemed to feast their visions and
enjoy themselves without stint or hin
d rance.
A stranger in a strange place without other
attractions generally allows his senses of
bearing and seeing to feast unlimited on
the surroundings. So it was with the writer'
A storm, unfortunately, compelled the ex
cursionists to seek shelter, and await the
coming of the train upon the return trip.
A newspaper was my solace; but this soon
sought the companionship of a beautiful
girl, who ventured to inquire who the trav
eler was, and prematurely expressed a de
sire to see '• that very interesting paper.'
Courtesy compelled us to tender its pages
for a perusal, which wore afterwards ac
knowledged by the fair one as "extremely
attractive-containing many a pleasant par
agraph" over which to while away an hour.
The inclemency of the weather in the eve
marred the closing pleasures, but all passed
offers a pleasant dream ; no one was found
to regret the short respite from the heated
streets of the city. H. T. H.
Promises and Pledges.
Eravon.:—We notice that the candi
dates for the legislature are full of promises
Julius Shuman says in a printed circular
that "if elected I pledge myself to use my
best efforts for the success of all measures
calculted to advance the public gobd ; and
to labor, as I have always done for the in
terest of the Republican party."
D. IC. Burkholder says he is "unalterably,
opposed to the omnibus railroad bill, itc."
Now, we ask what do these pledges amount
to. They are only what every Republican,
every official should do, and nothing more.
If is known to be thoroughly honest,
individually and personally, the people can
know better to trust him, than by a knowl
edge of his pledges only. We believe both
these pledgers to be individually honest,
but what's the use of laying themselves
open to suspicions which their announce
ment itself will awaken. Bare pledges will
not satisfy WEST HEXPFIELD.

COLUMBIA, July 17th, 1870
MR EDITOR :—Tbe later historians are
adopting, more and more, the method of
giving the proof of their assertions and
the grounds for their opinions in the form
of extracts from ancient archives and other
authorities of a similar character, thus fur
nishing the reader with the moans of judg
bag for himself as to the justice of the writer's
conclusions, a course vastly preferable to
the old method, especially as the great ma
jority of readers can never gain access to
the original authorities themselves. The
following letter (a quite recent historical
discovery) must be highly interesting to
every student of history, and especially so
to every Pennsylvanian, and displays in a
glaring light, the character of New Eng
land Puritanism. H. W. G.
-Mr. Judkins, the librarian of the
Massachusetts Historian Society, in over
hauling a lot of old papers deposited in the
archives of that body by the late Robert
Greenleaf, made a curious discovery of a
letter in the quaint handwriting of the Rev.
Cotton 'Mather, addressed to "ye aged
and beloved Mr. John Higginson." It
bears date "September ye 15th, 1682" and
runs thus: •
There bee now at sea a sliippe (:or our
friend Mr. Esaias Ifo!craft, of London, did
advise me by the last packet that it wolde
sail 801110 time in August) culled ye wel
come, E. Greenaway master, which has
aboard an hundred or more of ye heretics
and maliguauts culled Quakers, with W.
Penne, who is ye chief scatztpe, at the hedde
of them.
Ye General Court has accordingly given
secret orders to Master Malachi Hulett, of
ye brig Porposse, to waylaye ye said wel
come as near the coast of Codde as may be
and make captive ye said Penne and his
ungodlie crew, so that ye Lord may be glo
rified and not mocked on ye soil of this
new countrie with ye heathen worshippe
or these people. Much spoyl can be made
by selling ye whole lotte to Barbadoes,
where slaves fetch good prices in rumme
and sugar, and we shall not only do ye
Lord great service by punishing ye wicked,
but shall make great gayno for his minis
ters and people.
Master Hulett feels hopeful, and I will
set down the news ho brings when his
shippe comes back.
Yours, in the howells of Christ,
COTTON MATTI Eli.
EXCURSION AND ric-Nte.—The E. E.
Lutheran Sunday School had a delightful
time at Litiz on Wednesday. The weather
in the morning indicated rain but in spite
of this, it was the largest turnout. of the
season; pastor, parents, teachers, children,
in short everybody went. The sic car
loads of excursionists and provisions left at
8:15, all arriving at tali safely.
The day was spent as usual, at base ball,
that fascinating game of croquet, swinging,
falling in the water, promenading, ttc. A
very interesting game of base ball was
played in the morning between Capt. Lentz's
"married" nine and Capt. Allison's "single"
nine, the score showing 37 innings to 25 in
favor of the "single" niue,thougb we heard
it asserted that scoring was the most impor
tant part of the game in this instance, It
sometimes is thus. A test game was to have
been played after supper, but the rain inter
ferred with the; port.
The pic-nic was gotten up on. the "family
basket' plan, which means that each fami
ly takes along twice as much as needed, as
on Wednesday, our Lutheran friends had
"enough and to spare," and they took up of
the• fragments more than the scriptural
twelve baskets full. Supper time found
the excursionists all gathered iu happy lit
tle groups, about the grounds,around tables
hastily improvised. Several families or
classes joined each other in preparing the
tables and shared each other's hospitalities.
We had about a dozen invitations "to tea,"
but as we could accept only one, we had to
decline the other eleven—not without some
misgivings however, as everytbinglookel
so temptingly nice, and the festivities were
so pleasantly and socially conducted.
Supper was disposed of rather hurriedly
on account of the approaching storm, an
the enjoyment for the next hour and a half
somewhat marred,
The party returned to Columbia on time,
between five and six hundred strong, the
number having been augmented by visitors
in the afternoon. There was a roof of um
brellas in waiting on the arrival of the train
to receive and protect the excursionists.
Tne confusion, and the mixture of baskets
were somewhat amusing, and the fun very
generally enjoyed. All seemed pleased
with the day's pleasures and festivities—au
occasion more like the re-union of a large
family, and to the annual recurrence of
which, many little hearts look forward with
Pleasant anticipations.
C 0 L .—There is no more fruitful sub
ject for comment than the cool (!) weather
which we have enjoyed for the past week
or two. It was the subject for constant
discussion on the streets, and in the house
both day and night, and the " dear people"
however much they differed on political
questions, on the merits of this or that man
for the Legislature, or on the impudence of
Napoleon, or the cool manly demeanor of
King William, all united on this one ques
tion—the hot weather. Every day was
the hottest yet. Saturday was as the girls
say " perfectly awful." Many of our citi
zens sought for gentle breezes along the
river but even there old Sol's warming in
fluence was felt to a late hour. Hundreds
spent the evening on " Big Island," some
of them tripping the light fantastic toe,
which toe must certainly have been very
hot.
Sunday morning ushered in another
"perfectly awful" day. Early in the
morning, our church-going people sought
the shady side of the street, and warm
weather christians stayed at. home altogther.
The afternoon was a "scorcher." The ther
mometer reached 100° in the shade. The
heat was unabated up to a late hour in the
evening. The river had an influence how
ever in abating its fervor, though a sleep
less night was in store for many.
Monday was not an improvement,and all
day the oft expressed wish for a shower
could have been heard on the street. At last
it came. A bout 8 o'clock the 'West was
black with clouds. A storm was imminent
A wind storm often the precursor of rain,
swept the dust into Louses, stores, and a
good bit of it into the eyes of such unlucky
pedestrians and croquet-players who hap
pened to be out. The rain storm passed
over the town about 8:30 accompanied
with lightning and thunder.
During the storm, there were some beau
tiful displays of the electrical fluid at the P.
k. A. Telegraph office at the Franklin
House. The wires were disconnected from
the battery. At every flash of lightning,
the electricity accumulating on the wires,
exploded at the terminus with a brilliant
flash, displaying rare and beautiful colors,
accompanied with a report like that of a
pistol.
A gentleman whose name we did not
learn, was on the bridge at the time of the
storm. The explosions of electricity upon
the wires over the bridge were quick and
sharp. Not acquainted with the laws of the
fluid, or the wire, he supposed that the
noise was the report of a pistol in the hands
of a "mid-night marauder," would-be as
assin or robber, and started to run with all
the strength and celerity aa man in such a
trying situation. He arrived in Columbia
safe and unharmed, though almost breath
less. Ile was like the wicked who •• flee
when no man pursueth."
—After the storm, the air was cool and
refreshing, and our streets were thronged
with pedestrians up to a late hour, enjoying
the benefits of the cooling shower. On
Tuesday the thermometer was up to 95° in
the shade, with no prospect of abatement.
The following members of Committee of
Vigilant Steam Fire Engine Company, are

The undersigned would respectfully inform the
public that they have opened an establishment
under the above title where Inventors, Paten
tees ,and Owners of Patents are free to resort
for the negotiation of the sales of their Inven
tion and Patents.
The feature of this Bazaar consists in this,
that Inventors, Patentees and Owners of Pat
ents and Inventions may transact their busi
ness and effect sales themselves, without any
interferwice on the part of the Proprietors. On
such sales they charge no commission whatever
nor do they ask registration or like fees, nor
any commissions in advance, believing it to be
unfair to ask pay for services not yet rendered.
But if any of their Patrons desire to employ
them as their personal agents, for the sale of
their interests, the Proprietors will then charge
such commissions as many be mutually. agreed
upon. The only charge made by this E.t'dablisli
xnent is for the Storage of Models and Machin
ery of all size, on exhibitions therein, as follows:
FROM. TICENTT-FIVE (Si) CENTS TO ONE DOI,
LARs' PER WEEK PER SQUARE FOOT OF SPACE.
For this very small compensation the Models
and Machines are kept In good order and their
Workings completely explained to the numer
ous visitors of the Bazaar and brought forward
to the best advantage. with a view to prepar
ing the way to eventual sales.
Au experienced PATENT LAWYER and an
able CONSULTING ENGINEER, are attached
to this establishment, thus enabling the under
signed to procure, at all times, the best legal and
practical advice to their Patrons. The Patronage
of all is respectfully solicited.
