MCINTOSH BATTEBY AND OPTICAL CO., CHICAGO, ILL., IT. S. A. 39 SLIDE PROTECTOR. A new departure from the beaten track is our new “ Slide Protector. ” The above illustrations represent this latest nov- elty, with the round-cornered square and the circular opening. The former is 2^x3 inches, and the latter 3 inches in diameter. They will accommodate slides 3^x4 inches, or the English size, 3 /{ x 3 %> and, moreover, an exhibitor possessing a number of slides mounted in wood can take them from the wood frames and place them in these tin protectors with perfect ease by simply using wood or cardboard fillers at the ends to prevent slipping out of center. By this means one can do away with the bulky wooden frames and secure a uniformity in the size of all his slides—a great desideratum, as all lecturers and exhibitors know. Be- sides securing perfect safety from loss by breakage in transpor- tation, slides thus framed will stand almost any amount of rough usage. These protectors are made of light-weight tin, fitting together one side over the other, the edges being bent to fit closely. In placing these on the market we do not ask an ex- travagant price, but have marked them at a low figure, placing them within the reach of all consumers alike, feeling sure that they will find appreciative and ready purchasers. PRICE, per hundred $6 00 Sample on receipt of 8 cents in stamps.
