MCINTOSH BATTERY AND OPTICAL CO., CHICAGO, ILL., U. S. A. 15 SCIOPTICONS DISSOLVING. With a pair of Sciopticons as above shown, with a dissolving Key placed between them, very excellent dissolving can be ac- complished; either the oxy-hydrogen or oxy-ether light may be used, the dissolver working equally well with either. If one cannot afford ro purchase the entire dissolving outfit at one time, this scheme affords a very desirable outfit; since one can purchase a single lantern, and from careful advertising, and judicious man- agement, can soon make enough money to purchase the additional portion of the dissolving outfit, which would be one more lantern, and the dissolving key. All of the lenses used in this lantern are of the same grade, as in the more expensive instruments ; full sized condensers 4 y 2 in. in diameter are used; the objective or magnifying lens is achromatic, and is of first class quality The two lanterns with the Dissolving Key, 12 ft. screen, slide carriers, and slide stop, and the requisite amount of tubing, are securely packed in a neat traveling case, which is in turn packed in a heavy outside case for shipment. PRICE of outfit, as above enumerated $100.00
