MODELS AND RELIEF MAPS.

I have recently established myself in Washington, and furnished my establishment with every facility for rapid, accurate, and artistic modelling of relief maps.

The utility of such models for teaching and for exhibition purposes is fully proven, and is beginning to receive proper attention.

All departments of the General Government, many of the States, and some Societies are planning models for the World's Columbian Exposition at Chicago.

I wish, at the present time especially, to call the attention of those in charge of such exhibits to the fact that I am prepared to make these models in the very best manner, and at prices as low as thoroughly good work can be undertaken.

I have had much experience in this work and have well-trained assistants.

Some of the relief maps made by me are: The Grand Cañon of the Colorado, exhibited by Major Powell at the Philadelphia Centennial Exhibition; Yellowstone National Park, Yosemite Valley, Wasatch and Uinta Mountains, The Mining Districts of Leadville, Eureka, Washoe, &c., made for the exhibit of the United States Geological Survey at the New Orleans Exhibition; and lastly, a model of the United States, and sea bottoms of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans adjoining, between the 67th and 127th meridians, and the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico; the whole on the section of a globe 13.3 feet in diameter.

I am now at work on a larger model of the United States, which is to form a part of the Geological Survey's exhibit at the World's Columbian Exposition.

Being now ready to execute all work of the kind, I invite persons interested in such exhibits to communicate with me, defining their wants and receive estimates for the desired work.
