POST CARDS
Worth Blowing About

Permit us to blow our horn. The
welcome sound thereof will be music
in the ears of those who have been
waiting for the new arrivals among
our series of 100 local views.
To those who are not acquainted
with these cards, to which we have
been adding new subjects, from time
to time, we wish to explain that they
are works OF art, hand colored pho
tographs, worth framing; and while
pictures of this class cannot ordin-
arily be sold for less than five or
ten cents each, our price of practi-
cally cents Csc per DOZEN is made
possible only because of the i'm
mense number we purchase of them
at one time.
On the back of each card is a dis
cription of the subject, which adds
very materially to the value thereof,
and as they are largely of historic
interest every Benningtonian should
possess a set of them, if he would
post himself on our early history.
We have just received about twenty
new subjects, that are especially in
teresting, which, when sent to your
friends will not find their way to the
wastebasket, but will be kept FOR
their beauty.
These cards are for sale at our
stores, at Braman & Co.'S and Har-
woods and Gokay's drug stores.
Remember that if you are looking
for the cheaper cards we have the
