American literature -- 19th century -- Periodicals; Sunday schools -- United States -- Periodicals
A sensible and interesting amusement for the entire family circle.
Of all the various letter games under the names of Logomachy, War
of Words, Word Making and Word Taking, etc., we believe Words and
Sentences covers the ground more thoroughly and with greater range of
interest than any other. This edition has very heavy tablets, water
proof enameled, in a fine, polished wood box, and is an ornament to any
table, and the tablets are a pleasure to handle. Price in wood box, 50
cents. We also have the same game in a cheaper form, in a neat paper
box. Given for new subscriptions amounting to 50 cents. Price 25 cents.
=SNAP.=
Given for new subscriptions amounting to 50 cents.
A card game printed in colors. Put up very neatly in paper box. The
best child’s game published. Price 25 cents.
=THE CHECKERED GAME OF LIFE.=
Given for new subscriptions amounting to $2.00.
