Drain, Sewer & Culvert Pipe, 8, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18 and 24 inch Bore.
They stand the most severe tests of Acids, improve in strength with age and use, are more perfect in their interior finish than any other pipe made, and are lower in price; extensively adopted by eminent Hydraulic Engineers. They are largely used for sewerage purposes in Brooklyn, Central Park, New York, Albany, Jersey City, Elizabeth, New Haven, Hartford, Boston, Springfield, Lowell, Rochester. Buffalo, Navy Yards at Brooklyn and Washington, and for Culverts under heavy Railroad em. bankmenta.
DRAIN PIPES
Why is Cement Pipe better than other materials that have always been used for such purposes? 1st. - They do not corrode and rust out like cast iron, nor decay like wood and clay structures. They are smoother interiore than brick, give less friction, greater flowing capacity of the same calibre; less liable to get obstructed with sedi- menta, more durable, require less time and excavating to lay them, which is of great importance in business streets, and where trenches are liable to cave; they can be laid by any liborer of good judgment and care; in case they prove too small for the demand, they can be taken out and relaid elsewhere, without injury to the pipe. 2d. - They are from 26 to 50 per cent cheaper, taking into consideration all of the above points. The continual repairing of other drains and sewers often amounts to more than the cost of the Cement Pipe, which is a practical, durable and sure thing; it also im- proves with use and age.
For cheapness, quality, perfection and variety, It is unsurpassed. ALSO,

The Attention of Engineers, Architects, Builders, Plumbers, Town Oficials, and others. is called to the Merits of these Pipes.
The materials of which they are composed - the best brands of Hydraulic Cement, and sharp, clean Band - render them especially adapted to Street, Bewer and House Drainage. They are impervious to the action of Sewerage Matter and Frost. They will stand the pressure of heavy railroad embankments, while their continued hardening process renders them indestructible. 'They are extensively used in all the principal Cities and Towns in the Union.

The best and only reliable fastening for Boots and Shoes.
The above Cut represents Clinching Screws before and after driving. They are made from Brass Wire ; are straight, with a continuous thread throughout their entire length, with a flat and slightly wedve-shaped point ; are driven by hand after an awl like an ordinary peg, requiring but one row uf three to the inch.
This Cut represents a Clinching Screw Shoe with a portion of the vamp or upper removed, showing the position and appearance of the Screws after they are driven and clinched. The point making a perfect hook clinch, taking up the settle of the leather and always holding it until the Boot or Shoe Is worn out. - three very important quall ies possessed by no other fastening : also, making a tighter and frmer edge than can be produced otherwise, producing a Boot or Shoe un- equalled for durability, wear and ease. The screw being straight and continuous threaded, pro- pente its entire surface as a holding medium, entirely preventing it from working in or out, its holding qualities remaining relatively always the same until the sole is worn entirely out.
