HON. E. M. THURSTON, Secretary of the Board of Education. Dear Sir: In compliance with your request, I herewith forward accurate engravings of several favorite kinds of my improved School Furniture. The supports to the Desks and Chairs are iron. Each Desk is grooved for pens, pencils, &c., and furnished with a glass inkstand and metal cover. The back of each chair passes down from the top, intersecting the seat into the foot of the iron support, forming a back stay of great strength. Some variety of form will be noticed in the styles presented, but the principle relied upon for strength and durability, is fully retained in all. The Basket Primary Chairs are of a different form. Designed to be used without desks by juveniles, great attention has been paid to their convenience and comfort, it is believed successfully. The supports and the basket for books are iron. All these articles are to be screwed permanently to the floor of the school-room.

It is my intention to manufacture School Furniture of the best character, at such reasonable prices, that no one will be justified in purchasing an inferior article. If any citizen of your State should address me by mail or otherwise, for information, I will promptly communicate full particulars, prices, &c.
