The Pairpont M’f’g Co., New Bedford, Mass., have just issued their new illustrated catalogue for 1890, a handsome book of 212 pages, enclosed in an attractive cover of linen-backed leatherette. The leaves of the book are of fine super-calendared paper, the printing being handsomely done in photographic ink, which brings out the beauties of the numerous articles to advantage. Though over 1,000 designs are illustrated, the company’s full line is not represented, a selection having been made of such patterns as have proved most desirable to the trade in the past, together with what new ones were ready at the time of going to press. A complete specified list of the 117 various lines of goods depicted would bewilder the reader; suffice it to say that numerous specimens of every variety of hollow and flat wares and several lines of small wares, such as match boxes, bonbon boxes, etc., are given. In the flat ware we would call especial attention to the beautiful new “Garland” pattern for hollow handles which is used in fancy pieces only; also, to the hand engraved “miseltoe,” “myrtle,” “ivy,” and other pretty patterns. Several lines are put up in handsome satin-lined silk plush cases which are made at the company’s factory. Numbers, descriptions and prices are given under each piece, besides the complete price lists for the flat ware and separate plush cases. The company are constantly increasing their facilities and rapidly adding to an already extensive stock such goods as will suit the present advanced taste of their patrons. Samples of this and attractive salable stock can be seen at their showrooms, 20 Maiden Lane, New York, 90 Wabash avenue, Chicago, and 220 Sutter street, San Francisco.
