HEADQUARTERS FOR PROJECTION APPARATUS, SLIDES AND ACCESSORIES, awarded the gold medal AT THE NEW ORLEANS EXPOSITION. Those who attended this Exposition cannot have failed to notice the very large and elegant exhibit of Optical Goods. It gives us great pleasure to announce, that notwithstanding the keen compe- tition of home and foreign manufacturers, we received the award of “ First Degree of Merit,” being the Gold Medal, on our specialties. We have in operation the only Factory in the West for the manu- facture of Optical Apparatus, including Magic Lanterns, Sciopticons, Stereopticons and Accessories. All apparatus of this kind described in the following pages is of our own manufacture, and much of it is made only by us, and under our own patents. We have secured the services of expert mechanics of great prac- tical experience in this class of work, and are prepared to execute all orders promptly. Correspondence is solicited with Scientists, Colleges, Schools, Lecturers, and all others interested in our line. We shall be pleased to furnish estimates on special apparatus for scientific work.
