"A NOVEL Irmsrarro.:—Anew and very ingenious inkstand has
glen submitted to our notice; by a sirnpie but ingenious contrivance,
the ink is always kept clear and fluid."—Northampton Mercury.—
Sold at is Sd 25 6d, and 35 6d each.—Advt.
CASH AND DEED Boxxs.—The next important thing to the posses-
sion of cash is, how (when you have got it) to keep it safely, either in
the counting-house or at home. The same remarks apply to deeds
and other valuable documents. We have seen a large and varied
stock of both these desirable articles, manufactured expressly for Mr.
E. T. Hall, of South John-street, that challenge attention. These
boxes are made on new and admired principles, and possess patent
locks, which defy the ingenuity of any " pick-lock" in the world to
open, except with the legitimate key. To merchants, solicitors, and
others, these new safes, on a small scale, must prove valuable indeed.
—Northern Daily Times, 21st May, 1857.
THE CALrFORNIAN PEN.—The everizstiug quest'on of "is this
good pen" has been answered by Mr. E. T. Hall, of South John
wrect, who has succeeded in producing a metallic pen, which he
designates, not inaptly, as above. There is hardly anything more
annoying than a had pen—every one knows the misery. The pen
made by Mr. Hall, is fit for any hand to use light or heavy), and
what is of the greatestvalue, it does not corrode, but will work with
equal facility in any ink. . From experience of metallic pens, we can
say that this one, whichis polished as gold, and will last nearly as
long, is the best one we have ever used,—Northern Times. One
box, containing six dozen pens, sent free on receipt of 2s 6d in
postage stamps. Agents wanted for the country.—Ado.
Biros.—One of the greatest domestic nuisances, especially in the
spring and summer of the year, is the prevalence of bugs. Many
means have been tried to prevent or exterminate them, but all
hitherto ineffectually. Cleanliness may check, but cannot eradicate,
them. Mr. R. Greer, late one of the Liverpool sanitary officials,
after intense study and deep research with many practical experi-
ments, in the usual pursuit of his official avocation, has at length
discovered the great desideratum, " Greer's Patent Anti-Bug Lotion,"
is an unfailing exterminator of bugs, fleas, &c. It Is clean,
simple
in application, agreeable in smell, and perfectly innoxious save to
insects. To be had at the Anti-Vermin Office, 49, Brownlow-hill,
Liverpool, in bottles at Is, 2s, and 4s each.—Advt.
