Pictures of Dames of Colonial Days. The advent of the Twentieth Century joyously heralds an era of prosperity-the greatest in our national history. The example of the patriotic and heroic people of the past is ever an incentive to future generations to the emulation of true ardor; and while we take pride in the achievements of men who, by their efforts made it possible for us to keep alive the spirit of patriotism, we should not forget their brave companions, who shrank not from labor or sacrifice in gaining for us the blessed inheritance which we now enjoy. What more interesting subject, therefore, can we present to our friends than the women of Colonial Days? An exquisitely artistic calendar, as a souvenir of 1900, has been prepared by us for our patrons, free of cost. On each of its four pages appear the picture of a dame, New York being clad in the lively Dutch costume; Pennsylvania in the sedate gray garb of the Quaker; Massachusetts in the austere Puritan attire and Virginia in the rich Elizabethian dress. Lack of space in a brief circular precludes an extended description or close criticism of these four beautiful portraits. Suffice to say, that each is a rich gem within itself. A brief history of each colony accompanies the pictures: and a calendar for each of the seasons is most exquisitely wrought. This beautiful work has been copyrighted, and it cannot be purchased at any store or elsewhere. To each of our patrons desiring a copy, the same will be mailed free on receipt of three of our shell trade mark desig is, cut from the front of the cartons or wrappers enclosing the bottles of our Extracts. The number of these calendars has been limited, and the coupons may be sent at any time between now and the 25th of next December. The souvenir will be forwarded in the order of reception of coupons recorded, and those anxious for the early copy will do well to bear closely in mind the purport of the old maxim, "First come, first served."
