55 In reducing the prices of plain glass slides to the following extreme- ly low rates, our difficulty is very greatly augmented by our anxiety to sell only such as are unexceptionable in quality. In selecting our supply our chief solicitude will be in the future, as it has been in the past, to get hold of only the slides that will prove satisfactory to customers and creditable to the Sciopticon. In revising these lists we have reference to our best sources of sup- ply, to a wide distribution of subjects, and to limiting toe enumeration to what is most desirable. Views of every variety in the marktt, whether herein enumerated or not, will be furnished at the cheapest rates. Any of the following class, unless exceptionally rare or difficult to obtain, are priced as below. Class XL. American Views. PER SLIDE, 50 CENTS.
