Mr. Todd, of the Towle Mfg. Co., broke his record for speechmaking, Sunday, when he addressed the First Baptist Sunday School, at La Grange, his suburban home, for over half an hour, on the Passion Play, as seen by him last Spring at Oberammergau.

The Towle Mfg. Co. illustrate a new pattern of silver plated ware, called the “ Eudora.” This pattern is fully up to the usual excellence of the goods of this house, both in design and finish. It is made in bright and oxidized finish, and of the peculiar quality which has been attained alone by this house. Jewelers only can obtain them of the manufacturers, who have established a rule to sell to the legitimate trade only.
