O THOSE receiving this catalogue -I wish to say I am
confident I am offering you one of the finest collections
that can be offered by any one.

Where none are quoted in the hundreds I cannot furnish
them, except as per catalogue.

Some years ago I placed on the American market Madam
Mounet Sully, and from time to time I am placing more of the
French varieties on the market.

You are sure of getting original stock from me.
