 "IZrAVE now been on the ninrket for several years, l)otli in Canada anil 
 elsewhere, and in every case have given perfect satisfaction, thus fnllillinfi" 
 the many chiinis made for them of superiority over all others. They have been 
 improved from time to time. l)otli in style and linish as wi-ll as workinu', until 
 tile presi'ut styles, as illustrated hei'ewith, were inoduced. whicli are about as 
 near perfection as it is possible to make them. 
 
 The principal advantage in the "Unique" lies in the 'I'ransmitter. which is 
 the oidy one nuide that can never get out of adjustuient oi" lUst up. and is not 
 alVected by sudden changes of temperature. Jarring, etc. It has no screw or 
 spring adjustment to work loose; the adjustment is all done at the factory, and 
 every instrunu'ut is thoroughly tested before l)cing sent out. anil unless wrong- 
 fully used, should never need any attention beyond replenishing the l»atteiy 
 about once a year at a cost of a few cents. Another advantage is that the same 
 transmitter is suited for either long or short distances without cluinge of adjust- 
 ment, which is necessary in other makes in order to get the best results. These 
 are all very strong i)oints in its favor, as the transmittei- is the vital part of a 
 telephone, and with one that does not require attention a great saving is nnule 
 in its maintenance, to say nothing of the convenience and lack of annoyance 
 Avhich tlie vast nuijority of telephone users will readily understand. 
 
 Tlie '' Unique " Transmitter is composed of Carbon Phites and IJalls, 
 placed in a nntnner peculiarly sensitive in the conveyance of sound. A mouth- 
 l)iece is used in order that tlie sound of the voice may be concentrated, and so 
 be brought more forcibly on the diaphragm. 
 
 The "Unique" Telephones are carefully made by experienced workmen, 
 and handsomely gotten up. Every instrument is thoroughly tested and 
 inspected before leaving the factory. Special silk-covered wire is used through- 
 out in all the coils, which are carefully wound to a standard resistance, and 
 measured before being used. Particular attention is paid to the Switches, 
 which are very strong and have si)lendid make and break connections, and good 
 rubbing contacts which keep same always bright and clean, thus ensuring good 
 connections. All connections are soldered Avith special salts, and every detail 
 of their manufacture is most carefully worked out. The Receivers have a highly 
 polished hard rubber shell, and are ((// titled with compound magnets of specially 
 imported and tempered steel, ^^^th nickle tip to prevent rusting, and are strong 
 and loud. The Receiver Cords are the best made, with patent tips and attachments 
 to relieve the strain from connections. The woodwork i,s of the best seasoned 
 cherry, linished in the natural wood and polished, not stained. All the trimm- 
 ings are nickle plated, which with the light, i)olished cherry, nudvc a very 
 handsome linish. Every part is made for constant use and guaranteed to be as 
 represented. <

 with others in order to siiow their superiority. 
 
 We nd U|) lliese TcleplKuies in liv»' ditTerenl slyles. as follows : 
 
 IVo. 1. — Willi Kledric Hells, for short distances 
 and inside use; very useful for connecting' the different 
 tlooi's in a luiildiug. in place of speaking-tidies, being much 
 more convenient, and are j>laced in position without injury 
 to walls and Mooring, as in the case of speaking-tubes. 
 
 This style is designed expressly for aft'ordiug commun- 
 icalioii ill Factories, Warehouses, IIoIcIh, Houses, elc. 
 
 !^c>. 1 yV. — 'I'hese are goltt'ii up for Warehouse pur- 
 poses — same as our Xo. 1 — Ittil have iJattci'v IJox attiiclied, 
 and are more complete. Tliey have also a Swjii'h board 
 atta( hod, as shown, so the different deparl- 
 inenls or Hats in a biiihling, as many as 
 wanted, can be connected in one system, 
 and by simply plugging the desired number, 
 communication can l)e at once procured with the instru- 
 ment wanted. We use a Split IMug Switch as it 
 is much more reliable and convenient than llie Har switch. 
 Only the bell on the instrument with which communication is 
 desired is rimu'. thus avoiding the iieccssily of signals and 
 consecpient misunderstanding. .More than two persons can 
 use the svstem at one time without interfering wilh one 
 another: thus in a system of six instruments, nunihers I and 
 4, 2 and (!, o and '> can converse at the <\mo time, or when 
 two are talking a third can be rung up and the three converse 
 tooether. This is a verv sinii)le arrangement, and its great 
 convenience can be readily understoo<l. These iiislruinents 
 are gotten up in sets and niimbi-red. The standard size has a 
 switch capacity of one to six instruments, any number up to 
 that amount can be used; or if a less number is put in at 
 first, sav three or four, others can be added to the system 
 later, as desired. At the same time we would recommend making tlie system 
 as lai't^e as needed at first, as the work can bo done cheaper and better at the one 
 lime, and also avoid the necessity of disturbing the wires as lirst put in. For 
 larger HysteniH lliaii six a larger swilch is used, dependinjz upon tiic size wanted. 
 
 yo. 1 A. 
 
!N^o. 2m — With MajTiU'to llclls, for lon^or dis- 
 taiioos. This Htylo is {gotten up lo fill the dpinaiid for 
 SI cheap inslnmienl where the No. 1 is not suitable, 
 and while not so well or eonii)letely gotten up as the 
 No. ;}, yet it is guaranteed to work satisfactorily. 
 
 With the NoH. 1 and 2, the IJattery is placed in 
 :i separate box provided fer the purpose, and which can 
 be placed on a shelf or any out-of-the-way corner. 
 
 JVo. rj.— Our Standard Tele- 
 phone. This instrument is ootten 
 up in natural, polished cherry, 
 with nickle trininiinf>s. The niajj;- 
 netoes are wound throughout Avith 
 silk covered wire, and have extra strong generators, with 
 patent cut-out. We use a special long bar Hoceiver Switch 
 of our own invention, which is ffitironi/Jilii rch'ithh', and 
 and simple, (this is a most important point,) and has 
 splendid rubbing contacts and "ground" connections. 
 The Receivers have a handsomely polished, hard rubber 
 shell, and heavily compounded magnets made of a si)ecial 
 imported and tempered steel, Avith nickel tip to prevent rust. 
 AVe have no hesitation in claiming this to bo tiie handsomest 
 and best Telephone in existence for eitlier excliange or 
 private use on long or short lines. 
 
 .\'o. ». 
 
 IVo. 4.— Portable or Desk Tele- 
 phono. Tliese are handsomely gotten 
 up with he.ivy nickel base and polished 
 case, and can be used in connection with 
 eitlior of our other styles. It is the 
 most portable Telephone made. A tlex- 
 ible silk covered cord is provided with 
 each, as shown, by which means the in- 
 strument can be moved al)out at will, 
 thus avoiding the necessity of leaving 
 one's sent to answer a call. The silk 
 cord tormiuates in a nicely finished wall 
 rosette and connoeted to binding posts 
 'thereon to which are connected the main 
 line and battery- wires, this is screwed 
 to the wall, giving a very neat api)ear- 
 ance. IJy the addition of a few extra batteries, the central oflice can be called

 The battery supplied with the telephone is sulllcient for rin<i,in^' np the warehouse

 in case of a [trivale line usiufi' Nos. 2 or ;'» instruments, this can be placed under 
 the desk, or in any eouvvuient plact; within roach and coiuiected on the "roinid

 'IVlephone can be switched on to either the main or 
 warehouse circuit. This is very convenient, as a 
 subsbriber can sit at his desk and converse with 
 any part of his warehouse or connect with the 
 oxchau«>e. 
 
 We furnish with all our Telepliones the well- 
 known '• Samson " Batteries, which aie the very 
 best battel y in existence for telephone work, owinp; 
 to their <jreat streugtli and re(iuirin_ii' the minimum 
 of attention, and also on account of their "leat 
 lecuperative powers. A special circular fully 
 describiu«>' these will be sent on application. 
 
 Hxtension I'x'lls uro very useful in connection 
 with the Nos. 2 and ;i, to yive the si<>nal at a 
 distant point from the place in which the telephone' 
 is located. They are connected in anywhere on 
 the main circuit. 
 
 Piinted illustrated directions are furnished, by 
 followiu<j; which these telephones can be put up by 
 anvone.

 Telephone, and In reply would say, that in September, 1891, we purchased thirteen of your No. 3 
 Instruments, whieh wc put v)) in m-rirn on sixteen miles of single circuit, and which gave such satis- 
 faction that we wore led to extend our lines throughout the Annapolis valley, and we have alt ogother 
 sixty-three " I'nhiue " Telephones in nse, all giving perfect satisfaction. Wc have eighty-five miles of 
 Trunk Line with eight different Exchanges, and wherever tlic " I'niquo" is put, il gives satiKfaction, 
 
 As you claimed, these Telephones never recinire re-ad.iustment, and wo have never had to alter a 
 Transmitter on any wc have had. They arc very clear and distinct, and we can converse easily over 
 our entire eircnil. 
 
 We may also mention that the Wire, Hatterics and other supplies furnished by you have given 
 excellent satisfaction.
