may not at first thought appear. but
after one mas had experience in at
tempting to select and make choice
of one from among several hundred

attempt is quite perplexing. no table
or counter being large enough to ar
range them suitably so a satisfactory
comparison of the multitude Of sub

has provided for the public's insPec-
