Accurate, because it will run twenty-four hours, and keep time equal to the better grade of watches.

Cheap, because it will wear for years, and is offered at a price within the reach of everybody.

Remember, the Waterbury Watch is not a toy, but a real watch, having less than one half the number of parts to be found in any other going watch in the world.

A Watch winding at the stem, and having a stop-work which prevents its being damaged by over-winding.

A Watch strong and durable in all its parts, and calculated to do good service for years.

For beauty, durability, accuracy, and economy the Improved Waterbury Watch is superior to any medium priced Silver watch on the market. Its reputation as a reliable time-keeper is thoroughly established.

This is one of the most liberal premium offers we have ever made, and our special reason for making it is that we wish you to obtain the necessary subscriptions from your own town or vicinity, and acquaint the subscribers with your satisfaction with the watch.

Every watch is perfect before leaving the factory and is tested a few days in our office before being sent away.

The Waterbury Watch is now carried by tens of thousands of boys and girls, men and women. Time itself has proven it to be the equal of watches costing many times its price.

Its cases are made from the new metal, Silverloid, which in appearance and durability is equal to the best Coin Silver. Each watch is packed in a nice satin-lined case.

It is a Scientific Toy, nearer in appearance and operation to a large Engine than any heretofore made. It is both amusing and instructive. It is safe and easy to operate. It will run small Toys, and develop ingenuity. It is a simple and complete machine which will practically illustrate to the youthful mind that wonderful power so constantly at work on all sides in this age of Steam.

=Ladies, Make Your Own Stamping Patterns.=

_THE LITTLE_ WONDER PEARL’S PERFORATOR

STAMPING OUTFIT

“_THE LITTLE WONDER_” PEARL’S PERFORATOR & STAMPING OUTFIT

PATENTED. NOV. 21st 1882.]

This Sewing Machine Attachment makes Perforated Stamping Patterns, from the most elaborate and intricate designs, either original or those from Art Books. The design is placed over from 1 to 10 sheets of Linen paper and passed through the machine. Perforated duplicates are thereby obtained, each of which will stamp the design a hundred times. Designs may be taken from wall paper, cretonnes, carpets, laces, etc.

Patterns perforated in this way are superior in every way to those made by the old method. There is no rough side from which you are obliged to stamp; being alike on both sides one can stamp from either side. There is no possibility of the patterns “filling up” and thus becoming useless, for each perforation is made by actually removing an atom of the paper the size of the needle or punch used. Different sized punches are furnished so that the operator can choose a fine or a coarse line as best suits his work.

By setting the machine with a short stitch so the perforations come close together, beautiful stencils can be cut from card-board, paper, etc.

The “Little Wonder” is applicable to transferring designs for Embroidery, Braiding, Quilting, Ornamental Painting, Frescoing, Wood Carving, Fret-Sawing, and for instantly copying designs on the blackboard for the use of teachers illustrating lessons in Botany, Geography, Natural History, etc., etc.

Accompanying each outfit are instructions, showing how to perforate, how to stamp on any material without liquids (the simplest and most perfect method known) and how to set stamping on velvets and plush by steam; various minor uses to which the “Little Wonder” is applicable are also fully noted.

The “Little Wonder” Perforator can be furnished for the following Machines _only_:

Light-Running Domestic, Wheeler and Wilson No. 8, Remington No. 3, White, Household, double or single feed, Weed “New Hartford,” New Home, Singer, “New Family,” Singer Improved, Elias Howe, and New Howe “G.” _In case you do not have one of the above machines, possibly your neighbor has, and would allow you to use it in exchange for some patterns._

We cannot supply them for any other machines. _Name your machine with your order (and it must be one of the above), or we cannot send it._

Pearl’s Perforating and Stamping Outfit consists of 1 Patent Perforating Attachment, 3 small, 3 medium and 3 large Punches, 1 Box Pearl’s Perfect White Stamping Powder, 1 Box Blue Powder, 1 Improved Reversible Chamois Stamping Pad, together with a book of explicit instructions for its adaptation and use in perforating and stamping of every description, all enclosed in a handsome case.
