ming Of the clock Itself, 1t gives the day OF the
week and the month, netting thus as 4 perpetual
and tnfaiiible calendar. We h9ve one In use, aad
see 10 reason to doubt that it will fulfill the prom
ifes OF the inventor. The workmanship Of the
clock is good In srery respect, and is warranted
to give thepurchaBe1 satisfaction. We are coah
dent the "Pe1petual Calendar Clock'' will com.
mand ready and wide SALE The prices are very
little above those OF an ordinary clock Of the sae
finish. -.
