BALTIMORE, MD.

SINGLE COPIES, 10 CENTS.

THE Manufacturers' Record is a weekly paper devoted to the manufacturing, mining and railroad interests, and the general industrial progress of the Southern States.

Information About the South.

The marvellous mineral and timber wealth of the Southern States, their unrivalled capabilities as a manufacturing area, and the astonishing progress they are making in developing their natural resources and in utilizing their facilities for manufacture, are attracting the attention of the whole world. The extent of these resources and advantages is so fully and carefully set forth, and the progress of this development so faithfully chronicled from week to week in the MANUFACTURERS' RECORD, that it is now accepted every- where as unquestioned authority on Southern affairs, and its statistics and statements are drawn upon by almost every writer or speaker on any Southern topic.

Its weekly issues constitute an authentic history of the industrial progress of the Southern States. It furnishes every week a vast variety of information on Southern affairs that can be gained from no other source. It discusses in its editorial columns and in its correspondence every topic of Southern interest. It will be found of value and interest, not to manufacturers only, but to the general reader as well. It presents the resources and the development of the South in all their phases. To all who are in any way interested or concerned in the prosperity of the South, or who care to keep posted as to the industrial and commercial progress of that section, the MANUFACTURERS' RECORD is indispensable.

Southern Trade.

The MANUFACTURERS' RECORD is a paper that has identified itself with the development of the Southern States; it is the recognized exponent of the South's industrial interest. It has from the beginning made that its special field of labor, and in it it has practically no rival; it stands pre-eminent. In the South it has widespread influence. It is read and quoted and commended in every section of the fourteen Southern States. It numbers among its subscribers the most prominent houses and the officers of the largest corpora- tions in the Southern States; the proprietors of mills and factories in every line of manufacture, leading contractors, hardware dealers, the presidents and managers of railroads, mining companies, pig-iron fur- naces, cotton and woollen mills, banks, the owners and managers of saw mills, furniture factories, spoke and handle factories, and other wood-working establishments, flour mills, cotton-seed oil mills, stove foundries, etc., etc. It is not a mere advertising sheet; it is a pushing, live, enterprising, vigorous paper. Its matter is fresh, interesting and original. It differs from all other industrial papers in that it has a specialty-a mission-viz: the advancement of the South, It is a paper that is not thrown aside, but is read. Its utter- ances are considered of value, and every issue is looked for with interest by its subscribers.

In view of the importance of the special field of the MANUFACTURERS' RECORD-the South-and its standing and influence in that field, it offers to manufacturers of machinery of all kinds, mill, factory, mine and railroad supplies, hardware, roofing, builders' material, etc., unequalled advantages as an aid in se- curing a share of the trade of the South, which is assuming such enormous proportions, and which must continue to grow indefinitely.

BALTIMORE, MD.

Your attention is respectfully called to the superior advan- tages offered by the "GERMAN CORRESPONDENT" as an AD- VERTISING MEDIUM, reaching, as it does, all classes of our own citizens, and being THE DAILY GERMAN PAPER pub- lished in Baltimore. Apart from its very extensive circulation in in this city and State, it has numerous patrons in all parts of the United States and in Europe, numbering among its subscribers people of all classes and occupations. Its low rates for advertise- ments, as compared with other leading German and English papers, its entertaining literary columns, its special and Asso- ciated Press dispatches, both foreign and domestic, its promptness, enterprise and careful supervision, commend it as a most popular and valuable channel by which it reaches the Business and Family circles of the Country. Advantages must accrue to the business men in general, who add

"THE CORRESPONDENT "

to the list of papers in which they advertise, as advertise- ments translated into the German Language, must naturally · attract the attention of many who prefer to gather informa- tion from a paper printed in their Language and thoroughly understood by them.

Ford's Grand Opera House,

Erected in 1871 by JOHN T. FORD.

SEATING CAPACITY 2,000

Time of Exit from First Floor, 3 Minutes.

Lighted by Edison's Incandescent Lamps. Heated by Steam. No Fire required, except in one place, under any Circumstances. No Fire or Flame used in or about the auditorium, lobbies or stage. Most of the Great Dramatic Attractions of the Stage have appeared at this House. Now under the direct management of

CHAS. E. FORD.

The following Unchallenged Letter indicates the Business and Capacity of the House :

THE CAPACITY OF THE BALTIMORE THEATRES.

A printed slip, purporting to be a reprint from the " BALTIMORE AMERICAN of August 11th, 1886," stating the capacity of the various Theatres in Baltimore, has had some circulation. The statements made in it are unfair to at least two of the houses, and its anonymous publication and use still more so, as far as it relates to the capacity of Ford's Grand Opera House, which it names as 1, 592.

The following exact account of TICKETS SOLD AND ACCOUNTED FOR during a week of the present season, NOT INCLU DING A SINGLE FREE ADMISSION OR SEAT, OR PRIVATE BOXES (which can accommodate sixty per- soc), will be a sufficient answer. To verify and sustain the precise truth of this statement, our books are open tyexamination. The attraction will be named, and this statement proven on any wager, from $100 to $1,000-the amount forfeited on either side to go to the Dramatic Fund. Scrutiny is challenged in this way t enfuir e the truth and to avoid the frequent suspicion of padded receipts without verification. We sin- carla lesieve such a record-where prices grade from one dollar for reserved seats on the first floor -- can fta paralleled this season by any other Baltimore Theatre of six consecutive nights' business, liable to the _ tests of accuracy.
