i Dandy Thiny to Sell
I have been doing so well this summer selling
combination dippers that I think it my duty to
tell others about it I have not made as much
money as some I read about but I never make
less than 3 and often Sj a day The dipper can
be used as a fruit jar filler a plain dipper a fine
strainer a funnel a strainer tunnel aside room
warming pan and a pint measure These eight
different uses makes the dipper such a necessary
article that it sells at nearly every house it is so
cheap You can get a sample by semliutr as I
did 18 two cent stamps to pav postage etc to W
H Baird Co Station A Pittsburg Pa and
thev will mail you a dipper and you can go right
to work Anyone can make 63 or 4 a day any

and in every way improved until it
deserves the national reputation it has
attained His 1897 Almanac is now
ready and is by far the finest and most
beautiful he has yet issued It con
tains 108 pages including cover artist
ically printed in colors and is filled
from back to back with just what is
wanted in every shop office and home
in America One feature of the
Almanac for 1897 is a series of 12
original beautifully engraved star
maps with explanatory chapters
which could not be bought for less
than five dollars in any work on astron
omy As Mr nicks has correctly and
faithfully warned the public of coming
droughts floods cold waves blizzards
tornadoes aud cyclones in the years
passed aside from the other varied
and splendid features of his paper and
Almanac these considerations alone
