 GENTLEMEN: 
 
 For the convenience of Merchants and Commercial Travelers we present this 
 Sample Book to the Trade, in the hope that it will prove of great benefit to both buyer and 
 seller For a long time we have felt the need of some handy method of show,ng many 
 kinds of Crackers not usually sold by Wholesale Grocers, and we trust this book may be the 
 means of largely increasing your cracker trade. 
 
 The cuts are as near fac similies of our goods as it is possible to make them, and we 
 have added copies of many of our labels and show cards. 
 
 We take particular pains to have our goods well packed in handsomely labeled and 
 attractive looking packages, and promise every attention to your interests; offermg first- 
 class goods, nice packages, and reasonable prices, and on these grounds we base our hopes 
 for at least a portion of your patronage. 
 
 Yours truly,

Regarding Grades and Display. 
 
 Qf many of our staple goods we make three grades, viz: T. M., XXXX and XXX. 
 While our XXXX and XXX brands are equal to any and superior to many in the market, 
 we would, by all means, recommend the Trade-Mark goods. They are of a well known 
 superior quality, and a trade built up on this kind of goods is durable, as all observing 
 merchants must admit. To sell goods rapidly you must DISPLAY THEM / No matter how 
 great your variety or how fine your stock, if kept out of sight your trade will drag and 
 your stock remain unsold. 
 
 N.B.—We would strongly recommend buying Crackers in boxes, as it is more satis- 
 factory in every way— fewer broken Crackers in a package, fewer goods exposed to the 
 air when opened, more convenient to handle and store, and Glass Show Tops can then be 
 __ used, and sales greatly increased. See pages 4 and 5, n ., i

H EXPLANATION OF TELEGRAPH CODEN 
 
 On the two following pages we give a Telegra.pl] Cypher, which it is hoped our friends 
 will use when ordering Crackers by wire. The object is to curtail expenses in sending 
 Messages and facilitate business generally. 
 
 Please notice that we have so arranged tlie Key that one word expresses the kind 
 and grade of goods, and style of package wanted: i, e. to order ''Ten Half Boxes Cakes 
 and Jumbles," simply say "ten aloe," 
 
 Yours truly.

Cakes and Jumbles. 
 
 Qn the twelve following pages we show facsimiles of our leading Cakes and Jumbles. 
 
 Although a comparatively new article, they have attained a wonderful popularity. 
 They possess all the qualities of hand-made goods, and retain their favor and freshness for 
 a long time. Being mixed and molded entirely by machinery, they are absolutely clean and 
 nice, and are unequaled for their regularity of shape and fnish- a result obtained only by 
 tht- Holmes machine, the original and only complete soft dough machine yet introduced, and 
 to which we own the exclusive right for this State. 
 
 THEY ARE PACKED in boxes or half boxes of about 26 or 12 lbs. each, either assorted 
 10 or 12 kinds in a box, or each kind separately as desired. They average about 28 or 30 to 
 the pound.
