 Y*-*^*

 LONDON LITERARY AND ART AGENCY. 
 
 ^•» «» 
 
 I beg to announce to the good people of Canada that having been appointed Sole Genentl Agent for 
 George E. Perise's elegant Subscription Ekoravinos, "Oood Part," "Cross and Crown," and 
 "Christ Weeping Over Jerusalem," I have determined to offer such inducements to purchasers, as have 
 never been equalled in connection with any picture sale that has ever before taken place. 
 
 These magnificent Engravings are sold only by subscription, and cannot be purchased for any price 
 at the Picture Stores. In beauty and delicacy of finish, as well as in general artistic merit, they have 
 rarely been equalled ; and no engravings of equal value can be bought from the general dealers for less 
 than five dollars each. The regular price at which these engravings are sold throui^h agents, is three 
 dollars per copy, and thousands of them have already been sold at that price in the United States. No 
 agent, according to his instructions, is permitted to sell them for Ies~. I shall therefore sell them at that 
 price ; but shall, in connection with such sale, offer the following valuable premiums : 
 
 To each purchaser of an engraving on this plan, will be presented, at the time of payment, all of the 
 following articles, most of which are an almost everyday necessity in every family throughout the land: 
 
 6 Cakes of nice Toilet Soap 26 
 
 1 Box Golden Salve 25 
 
 1 Bottle Corn Eradicator 25 
 
 1 Bottle Toothache Drops 25 
 
 1 Bottle Eau de Cologne 25 
 
 1 Bottle Excelsior Laundry Gloss 25 
 
 Total 
 
 1 Large Bottle Permanent Writing Fluid,. . . .25 
 1 Lai^ge Bottle Excellent Liquid Blacking. . .25 
 
 1 Large Bottle Superior Liniment. . . '. 50 
 
 1 Large Bottle Palatable Purgative 50 
 
 1 Lightning Calculator 12 
 
 $3.12 
 
 The following is a brief description of the above premiums : 
 
 Yht Toilet Soap — Is of good quality, and very cheap at the price mentioned. It is a better article 
 than much that is sold at a much higher rate. 
 
 The Golden Salve — Is an excellent one in all cases where a healing salve is required, but it is 
 particularly valuable for burns, scalds, and frost bites. In these cases, it removes tne soreness and 
 speedily heals the hurt, often without leaving the slightest scar. A box of it always at hand and instantly 
 applied would frequently save the life of a child. If applied before a burn has i5listered, it will seldom 
 blister at all ; but if it cannot be applied in time to prevent this, it should be applied as soon afterwards 
 as possible. 
 
 The Corn Eradicator — When applied according to directions, removes these troublesome excrescences 
 without pain or inconvenience to the person using it. A single bottle should cure all your corns, even if 
 you have one on every toe. 
 
 The Toothache Drops— Ave an unfailing remedy for that distressing ailment, when it proceeds from 
 an exposed nerve. The comfort and rest derived from their use for a single day or night, are well worth 
 twice the cost of a whole bottle of the drops. 
 
 The Bau de Ooloine — Although cheap, is nevertheless an excellent artisle for ordinary use, and fully 
 equal to much that is sold for twice its price. 
 
 The Excelllor Laundry 6 las — Is a most valuable article, and one that is needed by every housekeeper. 
 A small quantity of it added to starch, ussi eithe<' hot or cold, will, when the smoothing iron is applied, 
 give the article such a gloss, that, if it were possible, the very flies that alight upon it would slip up and 
 Break their iijcks. Any laundress that becomes acquaiuted with its merits, will never after, be willing to 
 dispense with its use. 
 
 The Permanent Writing Fluid — Is one of the beat inks ever manufactured. When flrat written with 
 it is comparatively pale, but in a few minutes turns to a fine black, which will never fade when used in 
 writing deeds, &c., that may need to be preserved for hundreds of years. It does not corrode the pen aa 
 rapidly as most other inks in use, and does not become thick and useless like the floods of trash made 
 from extracts of log^vood and sold to a gullible public as Superior Black IFritinj Inks. 
 
 The Liquid Blacking — Has no superior, and very few if any equals. If properly used, a bottle of 
 it will last longer than four ten cent boxes of paste blacking, and it is much more readily applied. A 
 few drops to each boot and a few minutes of brisk brushing will make them shine like a mirror. Nearly 
 all other kinds of blacking contain oil of vitrol which is v^ry destructive to leather, this contains none, 
 and is for that reason preferable to them. It is also very durable. In ordinary summer weather, a single 
 application will Iw sufficient to keep your boots polislied for a fortnight, if you treat them to an extra 
 bru.sliing once in a while. . ' •■ •

 The Liniment — Is an excellent one for all general purposes where sudi an iiiiitle is required, and is 
 particularly valuable in healing cuts and bi-uises of all descriptions on either n>iiii or beast. The bjttle 
 contains fully three times as much as the 25 cent bottles commonly sold at the <liu{:gist8. 
 
 The Palatable Purgative— Jnst meets the wants of the family in almost pvi ly cose where a cathartic 
 is required. It is mild in its action, but oflectually cleanses the whole alimentmy cnnal. And then as its 
 name indicates, it is really pleasant to take. Tlie smallest child will take it imdily, and crj' for more. 
 Who does not have a vivid recollection of the detestable nausea produced by beiuf; compelled to take the 
 abominable pills, powders, &c., that have been commonly pi-escribed as purgatives in the past, and the 
 use of wfa'Th has, in many instances, greatly augmented the sufferings of the poor invalid^ Any medicina 
 that will thoronghly accomplish the dosircd end, and which, at the same time, is not only free from any 
 nauseous taste, but w absolutely palatable, must inevitably become vastly popubr as soon as it is generally 
 known. Thtj Palatable Purgative is such a medicine. And besides, according to the number of doses 
 contained in a bottle, it is one of the cheapest medicines in the market. It is purely vegetable in its 
 composition, and exceptionally safe for the weakest constitutions. 
 
 The Lightning Calculator— Is r truly valuable little book, by Prof. Hutchings, late of Bnmums's 
 Museum, N. Y. City. It contains the most practical processes for rapid addition, four new fonns of 
 nmltiplication, rapid processes of squaring and cubing, and numerous short, practical rules of arithmetic, 
 together with his amusing and instinctive parlor feats, &c., &c. If it is carefully studied, and its rules 
 persistently named out, it will be worth its Weight in gold to many who will thus rsceive it as a gift. 
 
 By the above, it will be seen that to all who buy the engravings on this jilnii, I sell them at their regular 
 market price, andat the same time aetually give the purchaser, in addition, more than the full valve of 
 his mmicy in other staple hozischold articles of i/enuine voifth aitd reliability. 
 
 Should the total sales in Ontario end Quebec reach the comparatively limited number of 8,00(), then 
 the value of the premiums given would be very nearly825,000, out itis but fair to suppose that these 
 sales will far exceed that number. 
 
 But, perhaps, it may be asked, " How can this be done f " " Is it possible that all that is promised 
 in the foregoing paragraphs can l;e faithfully carried out ? I will therefore add a few words of 
 xplanation. 
 
 Firstly THEN'. — The articles constituting the premiums offered by this jdan, although they are all 
 articles of superior merit, are new to the Canadian public, and as it is my intention to make their 
 manufacture and sale a jmncipal part of my business in the future, it will pay me to make them as 
 generally known as possible at the outset, even though I do this at a temporuvy loss. I feel assured that 
 all that is iieccsfary, in order to create an immense demand for these goods, is to gvt people to give them a 
 tri.al, and that the articles themselves, when thus introduced, will prove to I'c their own advertisement, 
 and the very best that can be secured for them. 
 
 Seconblt. — By offering these unparalleled inducements to purchasers, it will be such an easy matter 
 to make sales, that my agents can afford to dispose of the engravings for a comparatively small commission, 
 and yet make better wages in selling them, than they could in canvassing for anything else in the market, 
 and the amount of commissions thus saved enables me to give better terms to my purchasers, than I 
 otherwise could. 
 
 In these two particulars, when taken together, the reader has my answer to his questions; but he will 
 please bear in mind that on this plan, except in cases where he orders direct from me by mail, he is not 
 asked to take anything on trust, and that he is not expected to pay any money until all that has been 
 promised is fully performed. 
 
 I '.vant good agents everywhere, both male and female, to engage in the sale of these engravings, and 
 shall deal as liberally with them as the state of the case will peimit. Any person wishing to take an 
 agency, will be supplied with my "Confidential teinis to agents en addressing me and giving satisfactory 
 references with regard to their reliability. 
 
 Parties wishing to purchase in localities where an agency has not been established, can do so by 
 sending the price of the engraving or engravings which they desire, diret."" to me by re^stercd letter or 
 Post Office money order. In such cases, the applicants must be very careful to write plainly, first, their 
 Post Office addi-ess ; second the name of the engraving or engravings desired ; third by what conveyance 
 they will have their premiums sent to them. 
 
 Those persons who purchase the engravings from an agent on this plan, will, as before stated, receive 
 their engravings and premiums from him at the time of payment, but to those who purchase directly from 
 me, the engravings and premiums will, on receipt of the money, be sent free by express or other conveyance, 
 as they may designate, provided the cost of said conveyance does not exceed one fourth of the purchase 
 money, and in case it does exceed that sum, then that part of the expense w ill be paid by me, and the 
 excess will be left for the purchaser to pay on receipt of the goods. No goods will be sent C. 0. D., 
 (collect on delivery), unless at least one half of the purchase money accompanies the order. And all persons 
 interested will please take particular notice of this last regulation, for it will be strictly adhered to. 
 Residents of London and vicinity can see saiiiples of the engravings and premiums, and have their orders 
 filled, by calling at my office on Simcoe street, two doors west of Wellington, or at Bryce's Bookstore, on 
 Richmond Street. Each canvauing agent is also furnished with the necessary samples for exhibition, and 
 we guarantee that the goods delivered shall be equal to the samples shown you, or yon will be under no 
 obligation to take them. 
 
 And now in conclusion allow me to say,' I have by the above plan of sale, placed it within the reach of 
 almost every family to obtain Three FIrit-Class Works of Art to adorn their homes. Engravings, that 
 have hitherto chiefly been possessed by the wealthy and elite of society only, and I flatter myself, that by 
 so doing I shall secure, as my reward, such a sale of the engravings as has, "in its extent, never before been 
 equalled in America. Having, in the past, for a long time been identified wUh the public interests of 
 Canada, as the founder and proprietor of the London Commercial College, and having, during the past 
 three years, conducted the London Literary and Art Agency, I am not a stranger to the Canadian public; 
 and whilst tendering them my sincere thanks that for so long a time they hbire deemed me worthy of their 
 confidence and patronage, I do not doubt but that I shall also be favored with their liberal encouragement 
 in my present enterprise. 
 
 Circulars, and any further particulars, can be obtained at any time by addressing me at London, Ont.
