Part 6

The New American Dictionary ordered Jan 15 at hand. I obtained fourteen subscribers in about as many minutes last Saturday, and find the Post-Office Department is a good field to work in. The book proves to be just the thing for office use. I have many more promised, and will send another larger order. Send the Silver Watch as premium for this club. Respectfully,

ROBERT H. WOOD.

For beauty of gloss, for saving of toil, For freeness from dust and slowness to soil, And also for cheapness ’tis yet unsurpassed, And thousands of merchants are selling it fast.

Of all imitations ’tis well to beware; The half risen sun every package should bear; For this is the “trade mark” the MORSE BROS. use, And none are permitted the mark to abuse.
