At this particular season every one is showing his colors. XON'S UNCLE S comes as near to Old Glory as it is possible to make a lead pencil. The alternating stripes of red and white are there and also the blue field with its thirteen stars. It is stamped in gold and in addition is capped with a fine Para rubber eraser. The school children are very fond of it as well as their teachers. A sample of this pencil, together with many others all useful in the school-room, will be sent to any teacher that mentions this publication and encloses 16 cents in stamps.
