Tais new and beautiful design Of aboat twent:
days work with a pen. prepared for complete
family record, which is headed by marriage

l am confident that this entirely new production
will accommodate more wants and give better
satisfaction than any have seen in the hands Of
either pastors or families. I submit to your
consideration the following description OF my
work of art;
MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE.

on curved line, in large rustic letters. Marriage

ribbon. on which is written THE Andrews

by the words Photographic Family Record"
The same bird is carrying another ribbon in its
mouth. on which is written "In God we trust"
Hanging from this ribbon is an anchor, showing
where our hope should be. large Quill cut ont

ribbons and extends out above the bird around all
these grasses and leaves indicating that onr in
life are beautiful. Beneath this bird is large
scroll devided into five columns for tn. recording
of ame., births, deaths, and places Of births and
burials, or any other appropriate remarks. This
scroll is hung over long pole over around the
ends of which runs cord winding over the forks
of limb carried by two beautiful birds, at each
end of the pole flying in the same directions, The
cord hanging down the left side Of the SCROLL runs
through two cards; the first of these written
