TO THE TRADE.
SPRING, 1882.
We present this revised and enlarged edition of our Illustrated Catalogue
to the Trade, confidently believing that it will be of service in the
selection of MECHANICAL TOYS and NOVELTIES which have gained so great
favor and are now so popular in this country and abroad. In style, finish
and dress of our figures, we have made very many improvements and have
added several new kinds to our list. In the partiality which has been
universally shown in favor of our Toys, and the constantly increasing
demand for them, we find an incentive to more than sustain their
reputation in the future.
The Toys represented in this Catalogue are all mechanical and are set in
motion, on being wound up, by patent movements.
Each Toy is packed in a substantial wooden box, and will be sent,
postpaid, to any address on receipt of price, where our goods are not
found with dealers.
Discount rates sent to the trade on application.

The Mechanical Bear.
[Illustration]
This wonderful toy imitates the movements of a bear, by means of
clock-work, in the most life-like manner. The bear rises up on its hind
legs, turns its head from side to side, growls, moves its paws, and
snaps its jaws together. At intervals it gets down on its fore-paws and
goes through similar motions. It runs a long time, and while going it is
difficult to believe it is not alive. It is elegantly made, and covered
with fine fur. The mechanism is so strong and perfect, that only the
greatest abuse can put it out of order. It amuses old as well as young,
and is exceedingly attractive for a show window. It is conceded to be one
of the most ingenious toys ever invented, on account of its variety of
motion and resemblance to nature. Made in black and white fur.
_Price, $4.25._
