3. e. G. LEDYARD of Sioux Falls, agent
of the Victor Folding and Lock School
Desk, is in town effecting sales.
The. Desk is neat, durable, and
piece Of furniture. The Frame
is of iron, and the seat back, and desk of
wood, Cherry, Maple and Black Walnut,
both seat and desk fold noiselessly. The
desk he had on exhibition seems to com.
bine the most complete school desk We
have seen. Ifdistricts have buildings that
would properly shelter furniture, it is bet.
Ter to have them neatly and we'll seated,
than to force children to worry their school
hours, on boards and ben ches, that prove
seats of torture Instead Of ones Of comfort
and ease. Mr.. Ledyard appeaIs to be
gentleman that understands his business.
