Island Card board COmDauv
There are numerous exhibits Of card
board at the Centennial, some Of their
from distinguished makers Of Eurone
but the most prominent and beautiful
display, showing a stock at one great
and varied of card board of all kinds
from that suitable for coarse tag.work no
to that fer photographers and printers
aud including 6oer kinds of stock for
wedding and fine visiting cards. Is that
made by the Rhode Island Gard Board
Company of Pawtucket, R. |. This il
the Oldest card board and card mauufac-
tory in America, doing its work entirely
by machinery instead Of BY hand, as
is the Ease in Europe and in most ca.
Establishments in this country. The pro-
cess and appliances to this end were
originated principally in this establish
ment and by their use a much greater
uniformity is attained than is possible in
any other way, as we'll as increased
celebrity and ~chespness Of production.
Their agent states that they not only
make the ordinary printers card board.
but also every description of 6ue stock
for wedding and visiting cards, and cnt
it into all sizes and shapes. They also
make stock in long strips or r~ibbonlike
rolls of any width, quality and thick
ness. They not only make white cards
and card board, out also all the standard
%colors, and are prepared to match any
shade or hue desired upon any kind of
stock. All these varieties can be made
and delivered in rolls Of 500 yards or
less in length, aud of any width less
than two feet, These rolls can be cut
By the automatic card cutting machinery,
and furnished in sizes to order a. much
less prices than the ordinary cost Of
goods of equal quality.
All through the dull season these mills
have been very busy, working almost en-
tirely upon orders. The card board ex-
hibit at the Exposition is very full, as /
have before remarked; hence these par
ties we're equally surprised and gra,iied
to learn that they had taken the onlv
premium awarded for this article, and
especially so as other parties had made
great and extensive preparation TO az.
tonish the world by their exhibits, which
we're thus less favored than one taken
from the regular stock. This COMPANY
was established in 1874, anl has nov an
extensive reputation for the superiority
Of its goods and work. The business il
now solely owned by Fl. B. Dexter and
Geo. d. Clark, who have had long ex.
parieuce, and given it their personal a..
tention with q view 10 keeping DO TO their
accustomed standard. The address OF
the mandatory is the Rhode Island
Card Board Company, Pawtucket R. l.

pleasure in indorsing the tone and state.
mentS of the article. We are not unac-
quainted with the firm and establishment
in question. We have had large dealings
With them nearly ever since the war. All
the cardboard used by the LEDGER for
the last six or seven years has been bought

often as once a year By Mr.. Whitmore
in person, a1d by mail or telegraph rs
often as necessary at short interval
We have found these gentlemen fair and
square in all their dealings, as well as
liberal and indulgent toward reliable
customers. The establishment is very
large, employs a large force and ia
backed by unlimited capital. After an
acquaintance Of so many years aad buy.
ing many thousands of dollars liz goods
from them, it affords US particular pleaa
ure to commend the firm as one tina
always gives satisfaction and deserve,
the vast business and great popularity
they have built up, They have core
spondents in every State, and their fa
%cilities are such that orders can be filled
on the shortest notice.
