columns of tha GAZETTE to accommo-
date thzm. We hope thatour readers

SEXTON’S SALE.

Greatest Bargains He Has Offered
During the Fast Two Years.

The Consolidated i'oad’s proposed lay
out through Bridgport, has been com-
pleted and it is now only a matter of
time when the improvements and
changes in the road will be made. This
will require the taking of much prop-
erty by the railroad company. Per.
haps the best is that of James Sexton 8:
Sons, in East Bridgeport. The change
thus brought about will compel the
proprietor of this well know business,
to dispose of his entire stock Of monu-
ments, headstones and statuary, which
now fill the yards on Crescent avenue.
It is only a short time since Mr. Sexton
was informed that the railroad would
not need his property, so he added
largely to his stock. i At .the present
time it contains over $50,000 worth of
finished productions in marble and
granite of all kinds. It is without
doubt one Of the largest displays that
can be found in the yard of any one
firm in this country to=day. But the
entire lot must be sold and the premises
cleared at once. So the prices must be
cleared at a figure that will insure its
immedialesale.

Mr. Sexton said this morning the
stock would be sold almost at the pur-
chaser’s offer, and the sale will be one
of the largest of the kind ever held in
the state. The stock comprises over
850 pieces. ‘ There are 20 difi'erentkinds
of granite and as many marble, all of
superior workmanship and beautiful
finish. Many of them are surmounted
with gracefully carved st ntues, which
add uch to the beauty. Those which”
have always demanded high prices will
have to go with the rest and the figures
will be lowered accordingly. The large
stock of Italian statues in marble,
which attracted much attention at the
\Vorld’s fair in Chicago, will be dispos-
cd of, and in fact nothing in the yard
will be reserved.

In many instances the prices have
been reduced just tone-half Of that
which a few days ago was considered
low. This great sale was commenced
on Saturday lust and already over
$1,700 worth Of monuments have been
sold. ' Well-known dealers throughout
the state are even taking advantage of
it. There is no course left for Mr. Sex-
ton but to dispose of the stock at once
and the people of Norwalk and vicinity
will reap the profit. The sale will be
carried on at the yards each day unti
the entire stock is sold.

THINK 6F THlS.

it is AiwaysWeli to Investigate
Both Sides ofa Question.
There are always two sides to a ques-
tion. It is always well to investigate
both before coming to a conclusion.
Many of our readers have no doubt
heard of Mr. Brainard, Scribner’s agent
for the Encyclopedia Britannica, who,
with all due sympath for his in-
_ firmity, is generally known throughout
the state. This gentleman has sold
the ninth edition of Britannica for
several years, in fact, ever since its
publication, and is still selling this
great set Of books wherever he can
find some one who. has not heard of
this new and latest edition, which the
Sentinel is now offering to its readers.
But does he sell it at 31,98 per volume,
or $349.50 for the entire set? Oh, no!
He could not do it and make his usual
forty to sixty per cent. profit. Let us
mention his prices. The cloth binding
he sells at $125 a set ; sheep binding,
$5150; Morocco, $175 a set, or $7 9. vol-
ume. tem'ember Mr. Brainard is still
soiling the Britannica at above mem-
tionc-d prices, wherever it is possible
for him to get an order: If it was not
for this newspaper movement, which
places this new edition of Britannica in
the homes of their readers at $1.989.
volume, and on such easy terms, Mr.
Brainard’s Britannica business would
still be profitable. We might then ex-
pect to find Mr. Brainard here almost
any day soliciting orders from our citi-
Izens for the great Encyclopedia Brit-
annica at $6 a volume or,-$150aset,
and some would be glad to buy it at
even that price. .
_ On the other hand, whileuthe father
is asking the people to buy Britannica
at $150 a set, the son of this gentlemen
is here in our city, leading an attack
upon The Sentinel because we saw fit
to offer this great reference library to
our readers at $51.98 a volume. Why is
this so? It is not because The Sentinel
edition is any less valuable than .the
original work. Oh, no! Here is the
reason: Simply because this newspaper
enterprise, which is almost national in
its action, has killed tne father’s forty
to sixty per cent. profit on the sale Of
Britannica and because the son thinks
that he is now able to rake in aforty or
sixty per cent. profit from the sale of
another encyclopedia, which he is ask-
ing our people to buy at an exorbitant
price of $8 a volume, clothbinding, or,

which will be found deficient in many
respects, as much-so, infant, - as any
other publication of this nature. Now,
here is a caseof the son against the

father.. The old gentleman is saying
up north, “There is no encyclopedia on

earth like the Britannica,” and you
must antcflup $125 if you_wxsh to own a
set, and for the time being the 8011-18
saying here in our City “that Britannica
is practically worthless, not even worth
$49. 50, the low price at which The Sen-
tinel is offering it to its readers.” And
there ‘O’u'arel . _
Thid’looks to us like double dealing,
or possibly through a mutual under—

-- vstanding they hope thus to corner the

sale of Encyclopedias in Connecticut, in
or der that they may d'ctite their own
terms, and still continue _tO charge the
exhorbi'iant price, _

The wonder is that under the circum—
stances some of our citizens. have been
induced to assist in this attack upon the
Sentinel enterprise. A little grain. of
prejudice or malice may be responSIb.e
for this. Jealousy is an element in the
human composition which sometimes
makes our contemporaries act foolish-
ly. Notwithstanding all this, the sale
of the Britannica still goes on. lhe
people will not allow themselves to be
permanently confused In regard to the
merits of this great reference library
which they have long desired to own.
Any sensible person Is aware that no
Encyclopedia is without aneiror. It
is next to impossibility to bring tO-geth-
or these many thousands of fact; With-
out an error OCUliSlUnally creeping in.
Errors can be found in the best of pub-
lications. Britannica’s reputationis es-
tablished. The greatest scholars in all
the world recognize the fact, We say
again. as previously stated by us, and
by many of our leading citizens,
that for all practical uses the edition
which the Sentinel is oli'ering is more
value by far to an Artist-jean reader
At our Ency—
clopedia headquarters, both in Norwalk
and South Norwalk, We have sets of the
original ninth edition of the Britannica.

DEAR SIB: Q

Some few days since, I was requested

son’s EncyCIOpedia with EncycIOpedia
Britannica, in our office, and which
work he said was exactly the same as
the one the Sentinel was about to swin-
dle the public with. Though offered a
liberal sum for the investigation, I de-
cline to endorse Johnson’s as being a
superior work to Encyclopedia. Britan-
nica, re-print as he calls it, so far as
its treatment of engineering subjects,
filtration, chemistry and biographv are
concerned. Further than this, I know
nothing of Johnson’s, but can say that
I have never found “Britannica” want-
ing. You may ask Mr. Brainard (for I
know not his address) to take his books
away. Respectfully Yours,

JOSEPH B. RIDER. C. E,

A Denial Under Oath.
Mr. Joseph B. Rider in his testimon-
ial published yesterday, says regarding
our invitation to him to give us a re-
view of Johnson’s Cyclopedia that he
was "offered a‘liberal sum for the in-
vestigation.” I hereby declare under
oath that he was not offered any sum
whatever. A. B. MILLARD.

JOHNSON’S CYCLOPEDIA.

 

A Work Which is Endorsed by Rev.
Thomas-K. Noble.
WATEEBUEY, March 29, 1895.

Upon the request of publishers or
agents I have examined a good many
cyclopedias. They are all wonderful,
as illustrations of co—operations In liter-
ature, and they are all good in one way
or another ; but at the same time they
vary greatly in excellence. I consider
JohESon’s Cyclopedia the bestI ever
looked into. '

In its earlier editions I examined it
carefully, and formed a very high opin-
ion of it. The present edition is supe-
rior to the previous ones, not only be-
cause it is up to date, but because it
has been wisely re-edited and in large
part re—written, with the good results
which follow careful rewriting, namely
condensation, enlargement, increased
olearness and exactness of statement,
and greater regard for proportion.

Two things have especially impressed
me; first, that it is up to date not only
in saying the latest that is to be said on
all subjects, but in giving so much at-
tention to new subjects. The pros-
pect-us states that there are 200 articles
on electricity and its applications. A
similar fulness is exhibited in reference
to sociological and financial problems;
and such topics as evolution, hypnotism,
bacteriology, and kindergartens are
devoted to gaits, of men and animals.

The other point is that the various
subjecs have been dealt with by
specialists or experts more than ever
before in any cyclopedia, and this gives
assurance not only that the article is
correct and its views modern, but that
the right thing, the most- important
things have been said, and without
waste of space. I was impressed with
this in comparing, for example, the
article on “Masonry” in Johnson with
the “Freemasonry” article ‘ in the
Britannica. It gives one a feeling of
confidence as he reads, to know that
the “Factory System” has been treated
by Carroll D. “fright, the “Single Tax”
by Henry George, “Landscape Gard-
ening” by Frederick Law Olmstead,
“Cooking” by Miss' Parloa, “Flour”
by C. A. Pillsbury, “Baseball’, by A.
A. Stagg, Christian Endeavor” by F.
E. Clark, etc. When such authorities
as Charles Kendall Adams, W.
D. Whitney, Theodore W. -Dwight,
George P. Fisher, Arthur T. Hadley,
William T. Harris, Russell Sturgis and
Bishops J. J. Keane of the Catholic
church, Perry of the Episcopal church
and Hurst of the Methodist church
devote themselves to the preparation
of articles on the subjects they have
made peculiarly their own, we may be
sure that the results are the best that
can be secured. (A striking example
of the impartiality of the true scholar
is afforded by Bishop Keane’s article
on Galileo. not to mention any others.)

And it is worth while to note, in con-
clusion, that these writers have given
us not elaborate treatises but manage.
able articles of such length as busy men
can read, and popular in the best sense
without being unscientific or superficial

have carefully examined the first five volumes of J OHNSON’S UNIVERBAI.
, YCLOPEDIA and am convinced that it is better adapted for general use b '
professional and business people than any other Cyclopedia publshc .
The articles are concise, ”but every necessary or important fact is given. I i
is possible only by the greatest economy of language to'compress so much
information in eight volumes. Signed, '

J: A. GRAVES,
Principal South:.School,

I fully concur in the above, and can without hesitation recommend this
new and revised edition Of J OHNSON’S UNIVERSAL CYCLOPEDIA to the teachers;
school officers and librarians of the State.
