of colored patterns, with eight different
designs; alone worth the price of the num-
Der. Without question, Peterson is, as it
claims, the cheapest as well as best of the
ladies' books. Its prices to clubs, especial
ly, are unprecedently low. Specimens are
sent gratis to those wishing to get up
clubs. Address Chas. j. Peterson, 3O6
