Horseman's Eclips photograph outfit; camera, dry plates chemicals, paper
There is no better for less than $10. It is not good enough to take portraits. It is good enough for views containing persons or groups.

“World” Type-Writer. Price $8; for $10 in new subscriptions.
unusual typewriter
It is with gratification as complete as it was unexpected that we put this machine in the list.
It prints more neatly and perfectly than the Remington; not so fast and not so easily. A scholar’s type-writer; a type-writer for business not requiring speed or amount of work. Whoever wants a type-writer but has too little use for it to justify paying a hundred dollars for it, he is the man or woman, boy or girl for whom this machine is exactly right.
Nobody wants to take the time to acquire facility with a type-writer that amounts to nothing after he has learned it. The limit of the value of the “World” is its speed; which is from twenty to thirty words a minute. We hear that sixty words a minute has been attained. We are sure of thirty. Weight in box 5 lbs.
We are not permitted to sell it for money; only with subscriptions.

Wringer. Price $2.75; for $3.50 in new subscriptions. The simplest of all the wringers. You put it on the tub; and the wringing pressure is on. Take it off the tub; and the pressure is off the rolls.
