E. WALTER GILES has left for the West, making his usual trip for the Esterbrook Pen Co.

CHAS. S. ADAMS will make his usual trip through the East for Willy Wallach in a few days.

J. A. MCQUILLAN, who has been in the paperbox business for the past several months, has accepted a position as travelling agent with Geo. Routledge & Sons, of New York.

THOS. KRAFT, for many years engaged in the store of Willy Wallach, has now started on a trip for the above house, and we trust will meet with every success in his new position.

VICTOR E. MAUGER & PETRIE, wholesale agents for Waterston, Sons & Stewart's "Bee Brand" Sealing Wax, announce a reduction in those goods in a circular dated August 15. FARRINGTON'S Blotter and Clip are meeting with marked success in the trade. They are handy, cheap, and durable, and adapted to the use of ladies at home, as well as for general business purposes. James G. Kent, 145 Nassau street, New York, is the general agent.

IN a circular dated August 1, the Richards Manufacturing Company, of New York, announce a reduction in the price of their "Perfect Mucilage Bottle." The recent improvements in this bottle have so much improved its utility that it may safely be asserted that it is to-day better than it ever was. The manufacturers warrant every bottle to work perfectly. No stationer should be without them.

MYERS BROS., 62 John street, New York, are now prepared to offer to the trade a handsome line of new papeteries for the fall trade, among which are the Poulet de Luxe, Bothnia, and Scythia; the two latter are put up in handsome wicker boxes tastefully decorated, containing one quire and envelopes in Baronial and Royal note sizes. This house has taken the store on the ground-floor, giving increased facilities for its growing business.

WM. P. DANE, 139 William street, New York, has just issued a new catalogue and price-list, together with sample-book of standard cover papers. The price-list is very complete, and contains glazed, plated, and enamelled papers, French enamelled tints, white enamelled in ordinary and special sizes (which he carries in stock), pamphlet cover-papers, fine linen papers, colored mediums, tissue, fine satin-finished wedding tints, waterproof, tin-foil, and gold and silver papers, as well as foreign and domestic embossed. The catalogue comprises 22 pages exclusive of cover. Every stationer

should have one.

LIEBENROTH, VON AUW & Co. have just published a most unique and appropriate giftbook called the "Floral Album," which is a happy combination of an autograph-book and the language of flowers. The latter idea is fully carried out by having a series of twelve

beautiful floral illustrations, selected with particular reference to their meaning, placed at equal intervals in the book, leaving room on the page containing the plate for the inscription of the desired verse. sentiment, or autograph. The album is made in two sizes, crown and demy octavo, oblong, and in three styles of binding, viz. : cloth, Persian, and Persian illuminated in gold and silver. The retail prices will be $1 to $2.25, according to the style, and as these figures are only slightly higher than those asked for the ordinary autograph-book, we predict an unusually large demand for this very attractive souvenir.

G. A. RAISBECK, representing Ph. Hake, has left on his regular fall trip through the West. He carries as handsome a line of samples as we have ever seen, comprising fine card and wedding stock in every variety and style. The wedding goods are a new feature with this house, and for quality and finish are not excelled. Mr. Hake has also added a very large and varied line of mourning papers and envelopes which are neatly gotten up, as well as numerous new styles of visiting cards with bevelled edges gilded and silvered, also in blue and cardinal red, silver and gold mourning (called

Hake's New Mourning"), which are chaste in every particular: they are also made round and square cornered, and are entirely new. His perquisites for ball purposes are gotten up in an elaborate style, and cannot fail to meet Mr. Hake has made great with general favor. improvements in pasting and finishing his superior white and cream wedding goods, and also in banding, boxing, and putting up for

sale all his manufactures.

THE attention of the trade is called to a new instrument entitled the "Juvenile Time Instructor." It is designed for teaching children how to tell

time, and is

made to all outward appearances like a marine clock. The centre-post extends through the back and is fitted with a wheel, by means of which the teacher can move the hands backward and forward, and the gearing is So perfect that the smallest turn of the wheel moves both hands as accurately as the turn of a key does those of a watch. The dial is about six inches in diameter, and is numbered (in addition to the usual Roman figures), from 5 to 30 showing the minutes after the hour, and from 25 to 5 showing the minutes to the hour (see cut), so that the pupil is more easily taught to comprehend the divisions. The need of just such an article has long been felt by the teachers in the public schools and kindergartens, as the endorsement of over 3000 of them, received at the Centennial Exhibition, proves. Price, $3, with liberal discount to the trade. Peter Paul & Bros., Buffalo, N. Y., are sole agents for the United States.

The same firm have just issued a handsomely. lithographed show-card of their well-known
