Paper Boats were first introduced at Troy, N. Y., in the fall of 1867; but it was not until the season of 1868 that they were regularly manufactured for sale. The in- ventors and patentees, Messrs Geo. A. and Elisha Waters, associated with Colonel Geo. T. Balch, late of the U. S. Army, un- der the firm name of Waters, Balch & Co., are at present the only manufacturers of these boats in the United States. At their manufactory in the northern part of the city, they employ ten men in the business, and as it is rapidly increasing they expect to find it necessary to enlarge their facili- ties and their force during the present year. These boats have been sold and used all over the United States and in Canada, and their shell boats for racing, were rowed by the winners of fourteen matched races in 1868, and twenty-six in 1869, a record un- approached by the work of any other build- er. Continual improvement, in model, workmanship and speed, are being made, and they bid fair to come into general use wherever boats are used for racing, hunt- ing, traveling, exercise or pleasure. See advertisement, page 87.
Troy Artificial Hair Store, No. 462 Fulton Street, Troy, N. Y., is adver- tised on page 137. Madam M. Ellis, the proprietor, thoroughly understands her business and is prepared to dress ladies' hair and manufacture Wigs, Toupees, and indeed all kinds of Hair Work and Jew- elry. Those who have lost the covering that nature has given them for the head, can, by applying to Madam Ellis, have an artificial one that can with difficulty be distinguished from the original. Give her a call.
