How tn Increase Y0uT Income.

Just at this season Of the year
there are. among our readers, those
looking for employment for the
next six months. We have lately
received from l. + Brown 81 CO.,
the well known manufacturers of
speciaities for agents to handle, a
request to put them in communica-
ton with one or more suitable per-
sons in this locality, to act as agents
in Introducing several of their pat
ent household articles to the com
munity, and after consideration, we
take this method to comply with
the request. The firm are manu-.
iactniers Of large number of house
hold articles, which they introduce
to the public by means OF agents,
having sometimes as many as 1000
persons in its employ, The partic.
ular articles which they seek to
introduce here, at this time, are:
Browns Peerless Sitter, generally
acknowledged to be the best in the
world, OF which nearly one million
were sold during the last year; the
Kitchen Queen, the latest and best
invention in Coil Oil Lamps, and
the only absolutely Safe Lamp made;
the Centennial Cake aud Bake Pan,
an article which has q national rep
utation, and is the delight OF every
housekeeper; the Halt Minute Egg
Beaten, which always sells at sight,
aud the new Alto Relieve Bronze
Profile Cast Of James A. Garfield,
with memorial frame, the best sell
ing article ever put into the hands
of an agent, the best OF all portrates,
chromos or steel engravings that
have been offered. It is truer
likeness of the martyred hero than
any we have ever seen before, and
its price brings it within the reach
of all. For this county, Messrs.
Brown e Co. desire as many agents
as can work advantageously. Any
smart, intelligent lady or gentleman
can make n fine income in this way.
Tine firm will send to any respon-
sible person FREE, who will assume
the agency here and so to work, a
complete outfit of these goods, to
the amount OF five dollars, The
reputation of this house is first rate;
the goods are what they represent
them to be. Their terms are liberal,
and we advise those looking tor
genteel, renumeratiye emp oyment
to send to them for further intorma-
ton Their address is
