THE THIRTY-SECOND VOLUME OF

THE

American Missionary,

ENLARGED AND IMPROVED.

SUBSCRIPTION DEPARTMENT.

Besides giving news from the Institutions and Churches aided by the Association among the Freedmen in the South, the Indian tribes, the Chinese on the Pacific Coast, and the Negroes in Western Africa, it will be the vehicle of important views on all matters affecting the races among which it labors, and will give a monthly summary of current events relating to their welfare and progress.

We publish =25,000= copies per month, and shall be glad to increase the number indefinitely, knowing from experience that to be informed of our work is to sympathize with, and desire to aid it.

The Subscription Price will be, as formerly, =Fifty Cents a Year, in Advance=. We also offer to send =One Hundred copies to one address=, for distribution in Churches or to clubs of subscribers, for $30., with the added privilege of a Life Membership to such person as shall be designated. The Magazine will be sent gratuitously, if preferred, to the persons indicated on Page 92. Donations and subscriptions should be sent to

H. W. HUBBARD, Ass’t. Treas.,
56 READE STREET, NEW YORK.

ADVERTISING DEPARTMENT.

A limited space in our Magazine will henceforth be devoted to the interests of Advertisers, to whom our low rates and large circulation give its pages special value. Our readers are of the best and most enterprising in the country, having an established character for integrity and thrift that constitute them valued customers in all departments of business.

To Advertisers using display type and Cuts, who are accustomed to the “RULES” of the best Newspapers, requiring “DOUBLE RATES” for these “LUXURIES,” our wide pages, fine paper, and superior printing, with =no extra charge for cuts=, are advantages readily appreciated, and which add greatly to the appearance and effect of business announcements.

We are, thus far, gratified with the success of this department, and solicit orders from all who have unexceptionable wares to advertise.

Advertisements must be received by the TENTH of the month, in order to secure insertion in the following number. All communications in relation to advertising should be addressed to

J. H. DENISON, 56 Reade St., N. Y.

LESTER SAW.

The New Lester Saw is Made of Iron, with all the working parts
of Steel, and Contains all known Improvements to this Date.

It is handsomely painted red and green, with red stripes, and presents a beautiful appearance. Those parts which are not painted are either polished or japanned. We warrant the Saw to be just as herein stated, and we know it will give entire satisfaction, being a more expensive machine than those which we formerly sold for $25.

It consists of—

FIRST.—A =SCROLL-SAW=, with Tilting-Table for inlaid work; arms 18 inches in the clear; clamps which will hold saws of any length or width, and face them in four different directions; cutting lumber from one-sixteenth to one inch in thickness; speed, 1,000 strokes per minute.

SECOND.—A =CIRCULAR-SAW=, two and one-half inches in diameter, which will cut lumber one-half inch and less; with an iron table, four by five inches.

THIRD.—A =DRILLING ATTACHMENT=, with six Stubbs’s Steel Drills, of various sizes, for wood or iron work.

FOURTH.—An =EMERY WHEEL=, with wide and narrow rim.

FIFTH.—A =TURNING-LATHE=, with iron ways and rest, steel centres, and three best steel turning tools; length of ways, 15 inches; distance between centres, 9 inches; swing, 3 inches; length of slide-rest, 4½ inches; number of revolutions per minute, 7,000.

Also, with each machine, six Saw-Blades, a Wrench, Screw-Driver, extra Belt, and two sheets of Designs, with a nice box for the small tools, and a box for the whole machine. It is taken apart when shipped, and packed in a box, but the working parts are all left in place, and the frame is put together again by a single bolt.

PRICE FOR EVERYTHING ABOVE NAMED $8.00.

The Same, without the Lathe and Circular-Saw, $6.00.

When desired, we furnish with the Lathe a very nice Drill-Chuck, for working metal, and a Tail-Stock, with a screw centre, for $2 extra.

No Saw will be sent C. O. D. The machine alone weighs 47 lbs., and, with the box, 70 lbs. The express charges on one machine are about $2 for 1,000 miles, and about half as much by fast freight. Two machines by freight go at about the same price as one. Money may be sent by mail, by Post-Office Order, registered letter, or draft on New York. For sale by dealers at same price, with the addition of a reasonable amount for freight.

_We also keep a full stock of Tools and Supplies in the Bracket-Sawing line._
