Over Three Hundred Thousand Parloa Cook Books Already Sold. COMING! COMING! COMING! MISS PARLOA'S YOUNG HOUSEKEEPER. By MARIA PARLOA, author of "Kitchen Companion," etc. Particularly for beginners-for those who have just begun, or are about to begin, to keep house for two or three. Clear directions from A to Z. Tells how to furnish the kitchen sensibly; the right way to buy food and to care for it; about preparing all kinds of dishes by wholesome and economical methods; how to preserve fruits and vegetables; the easiest and best ways to do laundry work, not to speak of many other things of great importance to young housekeepers. A plain book for plain people. A book that farmers' wives and daughters will be glad to own. One from which any housewife may obtain an immense amount of valuable aid. MISS PARLOA'S KITCHEN COMPANION. This book merits the highest praise. It has not been hastily written to meet a sudden popular demand, but is rather the result of conscientious labor in leisure hours for several years, and it will unquestionably be a welcome visitor in thousands of families all over the land in which Miss Parloa's name and fame alike are familiar. The book describes minutely an ideal kitchen, tells what furniture, utensils, and stores should be provided for it, explains clearly the uses, and states the value of various kinds of food, contains bills of fare for all sorts of occasions, shows how tempting meals may be quickly cooked when unexpected guests come, gives explicit instructions about diet for the sick, and includes also as choice a collection of receipts in all departments of cookery as can be found in any book ever published. It is thoroughly practical; it is perfectly reliable; it is marvelously comprehensive; it is copiously illustrated; it is, in short, overflowing with good qualities, and is just the book that all housekeepers need to guide them in their daily duties, and to enable them to make their homes happy. One of the best and most popular Cook Books ever issued. Over 300,000 copies sold. "It is sure of a wide and instant welcome from the hundreds of housekeepers who have profited by the author's lectures on cookery, and by hundreds of others who have not been so fortunate. It is marked by strong good sense, and contains a large number of receipts in every department of cookery. The directions are clear and concise, and the chapters on marketing and kitchen furnishing are very useful."-Boston Journal. I vol., 12mo, kitchen edition, with waterproof cloth, plain stamped $1.50 CAMP COOKERY.-How to Live in a Camp. By Miss PARLOA, Principal of the New York Cooking School; author of "Miss Parloa's New Cook Book." 1 vol., 18mo, cloth ESTES & LAURIAT, Publishers, Boston, Mass. 50 cents LADIES' STATIONERY. A few years ago, our fashionable people would use no Stationery but Imported goods. The American styles and makes did not come up to what they required. Messrs. Z.& W. M. CRANE set to work to prove that as good or better goods could be made in this country as abroad. How well they have succeeded is shown by the fact that foreign goods are now scarcely quoted in the market, while CRANE'S goods are staple stock with every dealer of any pretensions. This firm has done much during the past two or three years to produce a taste for dead-finish Papers, and to-day their brands of 'Grecian Antique,' 'Parchment Vellum,' 'Old-style,' and 'Distaff,' are as popular as their finest 'Satin Finish' goods. The name for each of their brands is copyrighted; and their Envelopes, which match each style and size of Paper, are high-cut pattern, so that the gum cannot come in contact with a letter enclosed, during sealing. A full line of these Standard Goods is kept constantly in stock by A. C. McClurg & Co., Wabash Ave. and Madison St., Chicago.
