Reported in the June 2, 1879 issue of

The American Bookseller

:

―

New designs of ink and

mucilage stands are shown by Carter, Dinsmore & Co. The inks have patent adjustable

pen-racks in lacquered brass, while the mucilage bottles have nickel-plated caps with

wire corkscrews, which aids in drawing the cork.

Carter, Dinsmore & Co. have adopted a

patent wire cork-screw, which they now

attach to their regular ink bottles. It serves

not only to draw the cork, but makes a

convenient handle to it while it is in use.

They also have a new Reservoir Stand

which should receive the attention of the

trade.
