A3K FOR THE "AMERICAN LEAD PENCIL. "
TESTIMONIAL.
SHEFFIELD SCIENTIFIC SCHOOL, J
EK0C?EEKIXO DEPABTXEKT, J
YALE COLLEOE, November ld, 1886. )
I have always recommended the taber Polygrads
Lead Pencils as the only pencils fitted for oath ornamen?
tal and mathematical "drawing; but, alter a thorough
bria! of the American Polygrade Lead Pencils, man
utactured by the American Lead Pencil Company, New
York, I find them superior to any pencil in uae, even to
the Faber or the old English Cumberland Lead Pend?,
being a superior pencil tor sketching, onumental and
mrchanical drawing, and all me ordinary uscaofalead
^Tb'ese pencils are very finely graded and have a very
smooth lead; oven the so.'te:t pencils hold the point well:
they are all tbat can be desired in a pencil. J t gives me
great pleasure to be able to assure Americans that they
will no longor be compelled to depend upon Germany or
nny other loreign ma. ?et for pencils.
