It is with pleasure we offer to our customers our new index, so radically different from any previously made, that those valuing time in the transaction of their business must really see its advantages over the style heretofore used. While it can be used for reference as in out old style index, retaining all the special features associated with it, and with which you are perfectly familiar, it has the extra advantage of practically being detached from the copy-book itself while in use for indexing the book or for extended consultation of its contents, the great convenience of which you can readily perceive. It is really a separate index, but so attached to the book that it can never be mislaid or disjointed from its companion.
(Patented Sept. 30, 1884.)
