Even if you only wanted to amuse your friends or family, see what
a cheap and beneficial entertainment you can furnish. You have
only to tack the sheet to the wall, darken the room, place Lantern
on stand, light lamp, and you are ready to begin the exhibition.
The Magic Lantern Show is different from every other; it attracts
the school-boy equally with his master; all kinds, classes, and
degrees of folks are delighted by it. =The Electro Radiant projects
onto to the Screen a Picture Eight Feet in Diameter. Ten Thousand
Dollars= were paid for the =use of our Patent= by one Railroad
Company for =Locomotive Headlights=, it being considered the most
wonderful light ever produced for the purpose. We have retained
the exclusive right to make =Magic Lanterns= on precisely the same
principle, and the =Electro Radiant= is the result. The adjustment
of Reflector, Lenses, Tubes, Slide Rest, and Cone are made with
mathematical nicety. Optical laws governing such adjustments have
been accurately calculated, so that you have in our Lanterns far
more than appears, and we are placing within the reach of all
unsurpassed advantages for =Learning, Amusement, and Profit=.
The =Transparent Slides= for these Lanterns embrace views
illustrating =wonderful Natural Scenes= from different parts
of the world. The =Scriptures=—Subjects from both the Old and
New Testaments. =Temperance=—Showing the folly and misery of
the Drunkard. =Art=—Copies of famous Statues, Bas-reliefs, and
Engravings. =Miscellaneous=—Such as Ships at Sea in a Storm,
Steamboat Race, Fort Sumter, Daylight Scene, Moonlight, etc., etc.
=History=—Landing of Columbus, Declaration of Independence, Yankee
Doodle, etc., etc. =Comic=—Side Splitters without number, etc.,
etc. You can add to your assortment at any future time if you
choose.
Each =Lantern= with slides complete is packed in a neat box which
may easily be carried in the hand.
=PRICES.= The =Electro Radiant No. 2= (as shown in cut) with slides
and fittings complete, will be sent by express on receipt of
=$12.00=, or C. O. D. if =$3.00= on account is sent with the order,
the purchaser paying the balance, =$9.00=, at the express office.
