This image, with its shaven head, long queue and quaint looking dress,
gives a striking and life-like picture of a Chinese Laundryman. When at
work, he bends over the tub, and rubs the garment which he holds in his
hands with a naturalness so perfect he might easily be mistaken for a
real Celestial.
_Price, $2.50._
Ah-Sin.
“THE HEATHEN CHINESE.”
[Illustration]
This piece is similar to the Laundryman represented on the opposite
page. It shows Ah-Sin with a smoothing iron, putting the polish upon a
gentleman’s linen. The mechanism of these novelties is so perfectly made,
that only the greatest abuse can put them out of order.
_Price, $2.50._
The Coaster.
[Illustration]
A simple and attractive toy for small boys. Represents a colored boy on
his sled, which, by means of a mechanical movement, when wound up, goes
skimming along in a direct line, or in circles, according to the setting
of a steering apparatus, attached to the rear of the sled. Nicely packed
in a neat wooden box.
_Price, $1.00._
The Drummer Boy.
[Illustration]
This is also an attractive piece for small boys. It consists of a
three-wheeled carriage, which supports the figure of a little man with
cymbals and drum, which are alternately struck and beaten as the wheels
revolve by propulsion.
_Price, $1.00._
The Scissors Grinder.
[Illustration]
A QUAINT AND AMUSING TOY.
A man grinding scissors. When wound up he holds his scissors against the
rapidly revolving stone, at the same time working the treadle with his
leg. He stoops over his work, at intervals straightens up, and examines
the scissors. It is very entertaining.
_Price, $2.00._
The Woman’s Rights Advocate.
[Illustration]
In presenting this advocate to the public, and remembering with
satisfaction the cordial reception our sterner suffragists and preachers
have received, and believing in every respect she is their equal, we
shall hope to receive as many calls for her. This woman will not insist
upon the last word. Societies supplied with advocates on short notice.
_Price, $2.50._
The Artist at his Work.
[Illustration]
This figure represents an artist in his studio in an effort to surpass
Raphael. He is dressed in his morning gown and smoking cap, and appears
to be very much engaged with his painting. He surveys, in different
lights, his incompleted work of art, which rests on a small easel,
and then commences to paint with all the confidence of one of the old
masters. This is a deservedly popular toy.
_Price, $3.00._
Grandmother Rocking Cradle.
[Illustration]
