The press is represented by the Herald-Chronicle, Ar- gus and Journal, weekly publications, and several religious monthly sheets.

FOLDING
WALL PAPER RACK.
Patented December 8, 1882.

MICHAEL'S Folding Wall Paper Rack!
Wall paper dealers can readily see at a glance the superiority of this rack over the old way of showing paper, there being no rolls to get soiled or torn. Fig. 1 represents the rack open and ready for use, dis- playing four feet of wall paper, or as much as would be shown from the roll. The samples are placed under a clamp, as shown in fig. 1, by means of which the upper edges of the paper are secured or bound. The two parts of the clamps are bound together by thumb screws, which pass through suitable slots in the clamp bar; the lower edge of the clamp bar is slightly curved on its clamping face so as to press the paper between at its middle, and slots at each end thereof. One of the slots is made long enough so the bar may be slipped out by loosening the thumb screw at one end only.
A covering of cloth curtains, which is secured at the upper ends by the clamp bars, always keeps the samples clean and free from dust. The curtains are provided with rings at the lower ends by means of which all articles on the display board may be lifted therefrom and thrown back on the table at once; there being no limit as to the amount of paper that can be placed on the rack. Samples are cut from the rolls without in any way affecting the sale of the full roll, which is a saving alone worth the price of the rack. All the joints are mortised together, and there being no machinery to get out of order it makes a durable rack that will last a lifetime. A jointed hinged brace extends horizontally between the legs and the display board. This brace is hinged at one end to the leg and the other end to the display board; and it is provided near its mid- dle with a hinge, so that the leg and the display board may be pressed together, as indicated in fig. 2.
Fig. 2. The table is also arranged and closes in same manner. The mode of closing is by placing the hand on the upright bar and the foot on the cross bar, as shown in fig. 1, and pressing the rack together. The rack can be closed or opened with ease, and with an unlimited amount of paper on it. It occupies the small space of 2 x 4 feet when open, and 6 inches by 2 feet when closed.
Fig. 2.
The rack is made from the best clear timber, and finished in ebony. Price, $8.50.
You can show more paper from my rack in one hour than you can show from the roll in one day, thereby making sales easy. My rack is not only practical, but very ornamental and simple ; any child can use it with the greatest of ease. I have sold a large number, and have received recommendations from all who have used them. Address

Your Ob't Servt's, CALDWELL & MCGREGOR.
Mr. C. H. Michael : GRAND RAPIDS, MICH., July 1, 1884.
DEAR SIR -- We are glad to have an opportunity to recommend your wall paper rack. We are using five of them in our store, and would use no other. The ver- dict of our customers who have put them in is that it is the only feasible display rack in the market. We predict for your rack that before the end of another sea- son it will be found in every first-class wall paper store in the country. Wishing you success, we remain,
Yours Respectfully, NELSON BROS. & Co.
Mr. C. H. Michael : KENDALLVILLE, IND., July 5, 1884.

Respectfully, G. H. LOHMAN & Co.
Mr. C. H. Michael, Laporte, Ind .: NEW CARLISLE, IND., July 7, 1884.
DEAR SIR -- I have had one of your wall paper display racks in use the last sea- son, and regard it as decidedly the best I have ever used. I have examined and used several other kinds, but consider yours more convenient, neatest and most practical of any of them.
Yours Truly, F. D. WARNER.
C. H. Michael, Laporte, Ind .: MICHIGAN CITY, IND., July 14, 1884.
SIR-We have tried your wall paper display rack, and of all the different ways of showing paper it gives the best satisfaction. It not only saves time in the busy season, but pleases the customer equally as well.
Yours Respectfully, WOODSON & COOK.
C. H. Michael, Laporte, Ind .: CHICAGO, ILL., July 3, 1884.
DEAR SIR -- Your rack is a success. We have sold a good many of them, with- out a single complaint. It will fill the bill in every particular.
