WHAT they manufacture.
w THE AMERICAN SMOKER,
Consisting of great variety of unique and
beautiful patterns Of Cigar Tubes; also, several
varieties Of Pipe Tubes. The peculiarly about
these articles is that each one is arranged so as
to receive damp sponge through which the
smoke of the burning Cigar or Tobacco has to
pass on its way to the mouth This damp sponge
not only coOls the smoke, but extracts from it
the nicotine oil, the poisonous property of the
Tobacco, which renders the breath less offensive.
Smokers will find in the use of these Tubes, a
luxury never before attained except BY using the
Turkish water-jar. Their use will also greatly
promote the health of the habitual smoker, and
preserve the sweetness of the breath.
THE AMERICAN CARPET HOOK.
Is a little cOntriyance for putting down car
pets without tacks. This is a new article, which h
has never before been upon the market. But it
possesses the merit of enabling person to put
down or take up carpet of the largest size in
general use in fifteen minutes, without any in
jury to the floor or carpet, IL is very Cheap
cheaper in the long run than tacks-and the great
facility with which even a servant can take up
and put down carpets, without the possibility OF
n mistake, renders it invaluable to the house
keeper.
Is q neat invention for holding wet sponge,
into which the pen is thrust, always coming out
clean and ready for use. A very convenient ar
ticle for the Counting House Desk and Library
Table.

THE American Trades Company, was

THE American Trades Company, was
L organized November G, 1857, with Capital
Of one hundred Thousand dollars. This Company
was formed with view of taking up inventors
Of small articles of general utility, who are un-
able to make Independent arrangements for in
Producing their inventions, By an equitable ar
rangement with them for their rights BY pur-
chase, out and out, or By q tariff on the articles
manufactured and sold. Tho inventive genius
Of this country has long called for an Institution
of this kind. The American mind is so active,
that thousands of things are invented, many of
which would be really useful to the community,
but which are never introduced, because the In
ventors Of them have no means to carry them
out.
The Capital Of this Company will be devoted
to the development of really useful inventions.
The Company have Committee on Patents,
whose duty 1t is to pass upon all applications and
from their large experience in such matters. In
ventors have security that their inventions
will not be misj judged; and the high character of
the parties composing that Committee, is a suffi-
cient guaranty that plans and specifications may
be submitted before patents are applied for,
this circumstance, and when desired to do so,
the Company will take out patents for others,
securing for the inventor all his invention that
is patentable.
This Company respectfully invites inventors to
submit to them their plans; and it will be fur
thering the objects of the Company if its officers
and agents can be of service to them.
Any one of the following modes is acceptable
to this Company:
First. To manufacture any articles for which
their machinery is adapted, by contract, the in
ventOrs receiving the articles and paying for the
same on delivery.
Second They buy any patent which isapproved
by their Committee.
Third They will manufact cture and sell any ar
ticle which they choose to adopt, giving to the
Inventor such proportion of the profits as may
be agreed upon.
