GREAT INDUCEMENTS FOR 1857

NOW IS THE TIME TO MAKE UP CLUBS.

PETERSON'S MAGAZINE
THE BEST AND CHEAPEST IN THE WORLD FOR LADIES.

This popular Magazine, already the cheapest and best Monthly of its kind in the World,
will be greatly improved for 1857. It will contain 900 pages of double-column reading
matter; from twenty to thirty Steel Plates; and Five Hundred Wood Engravings: which
is proportionately more than any periodical, of any price, ever yet gave.

ITS THRILLING ORIGINAL STORIES

Are pronounced by the newspaper press, the best published anywhere. The editors are Mrs.
Ann S. Stephens, author of “The Old Homestead,” “Fashion and Famine,” and Charles
J. Peterson, author of “Mabel,” “Kate Aylesford,” “The Valley Farm,” etc. They are
assisted by a corps of original contributors, such as no lady's Magazine ever had. Mrs.
E. D. E. N. Southworth, author of “The Lost Heiress,” “Retribution,” etc., etc., is engaged
to write a nouvelletté for 1857. Alice Cary, Virginia F. Townsend, Caroline E.
Fairfield, Hetty Holyoke, E. W. Dewees, Ella Rodman, Carry Stanley, Clara Moreton,
Ellen Ashton, etc., etc., will also contribute regularly. New talent is continually being
added, regardless of expense, so as to keep “Peterson's Magazine” unapproachable in
merit. Morality and virtue are always inculcated.

Its Colored Fashion Plates in Advance.

☞ It is the only Magazine whose Fashion Plates can be relied on. ☞

Each number contains a Fashion Plate, engraved on Steel, colored à la mode, and of
unrivalled beauty. The Paris, London, Philadelphia, and New York Fashions are described,
at length, each month. Every number also contains a dozen or more New Styles,
engraved on Wood. Also, a Pattern, from which a Dress, Mantilla, or Child's Costume,
can be cut, without the aid of a mantua-maker, so that each number, in this way, will
save a year's subscription.

Its superb MEZZOTINTS, and other STEEL ENGRAVINGS.

Its Illustrations excel those of any other Magazine, each number containing a superb
Steel Engraving, either mezzotint or line, besides the Fashion Plate; and, in addition, numerous
other Engravings, Wood Cuts, Patterns, etc., etc. The Engravings, at the end
of the year, alone are worth the subscription price.

PATTERNS FOR CROTCHET, NEEDLEWORK, ETC.

In the greatest profusion, are given in every number, with instructions how to work them
also, Patterns in Embroidery, Inserting, Broiderie Anglaise, Netting, Lace-making, etc.,
etc. Also, Patterns for Sleeves, Collars, and Chemisettes; Patterns in Bead-work, Hair-work,
Shell-work; Handkerchief Corners; Names for Marking and Initials. A piece of
new and fashionable Music is also published every month. On the whole, it is the most
complete Ladies' Magazine in the World.

T. B. PETERSON'S
WHOLESALE AND RETAIL
Cheap Book, Magazine, Newspaper, Publishing
and Bookselling Establishment, is at
No. 102 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia.

T. B. PETERSON has the satisfaction to announce to the public, that he has removed
to the new and spacious BROWN STONE BUILDING, NO. 102 CHESTNUT STREET,
just completed by the city authorities on the Girard Estate, known as the most central
and best situation in the city of Philadelphia. As it is the Model Book Store of the
Country, we will describe it: It is the largest, most spacious, and best arranged Retail
and Wholesale Cheap Book and Publishing Establishment in the United States. It is
built, by the Girard Estate, of Connecticut sand-stone, in a richly ornamental style.
The whole front of the lower story, except that taken up by the doorway, is occupied by
two large plate glass windows, a single plate to each window, costing together over three
thousand dollars. On entering and looking up, you find above you a ceiling sixteen
feet high; while, on gazing before, you perceive a vista of One Hundred and Fifty-Seven
feet. The retail counters extend back for eighty feet, and, being double, afford counter-room
of One Hundred and Sixty feet in length. There is also over Three Thousand feet
of shelving in the retail part of the store alone.
This part is devoted to the retail business,
and as it is the most spacious in the country, furnishes also the best and largest
assortment of all kinds of books to be found in the country. It is fitted up in the most
superb style; the shelvings are all painted in Florence white, with gilded cornices for
the book shelves.

Behind the retail part of the store, at about ninety feet from the entrance, is the
counting-room, twenty feet square, railed neatly off, and surmounted by a most beautiful
dome of stained glass. In the rear of this is the wholesale and packing department,
extending a further distance of about sixty feet, with desks and packing counters for the
establishment, etc., etc. All goods are received and shipped from the back of the store,
having a fine avenue on the side of Girard Bank for the purpose, leading out to Third
Street, so as not to interfere with and block up the front of the store on Chestnut Street.
The cellar, of the entire depth of the store, is filled with printed copies of Mr. Peterson's
own publications, printed from his own stereotype plates, of which he generally keeps
on hand an edition of a thousand each, making a stock, of his own publications alone,
of over three hundred thousand volumes, constantly on hand.

T. B. PETERSON is warranted in saying, that he is able to offer such inducements
to the Trade, and all others, to favor him with their orders, as cannot be excelled by any
book establishment in the country. In proof of this, T. B. PETERSON begs leave to
refer to his great facilities of getting stock of all kinds, his dealing direct with all the
Publishing Houses in the country, and also to his own long list of Publications, consisting
of the best and most popular productions of the most talented authors of the United
States and Great Britain, and to his very extensive stock, embracing every work, new or
old, published in the United States.

T. B. PETERSON will be most happy to supply all orders for any books at all, no
matter by whom published, in advance of all others, and at publishers' lowest cash
prices. He respectfully invites Country Merchants, Booksellers, Pedlars, Canvassers,
Agents, the Trade, Strangers in the city, and the public generally, to call and examine
his extensive collection of cheap and standard publications of all kinds, comprising a
most magnificent collection of CHEAP BOOKS, MAGAZINES, NOVELS, STANDARD
and POPULAR WORKS of all kinds, BIBLES, PRAYER BOOKS, ANNUALS, GIFT
BOOKS, ILLUSTRATED WORKS, ALBUMS and JUVENILE WORKS of all kinds,
GAMES of all kinds, to suit all ages, tastes, etc., which he is selling to his customers
and the public at much lower prices than they can be purchased elsewhere. Being located
at No. 102 CHESTNUT Street, the great thoroughfare of the city, and BUYING
his stock outright in large quantities, and not selling on commission, he can and will
sell them on such terms as will defy all competition. Call and examine our stock, you
will find it to be the best, largest and cheapest in the city; and you will also be sure to
and all the best, latest, popular, and cheapest works published in this country or elsewhere,
for sale at the lowest prices.

☞Call in person and examine our stock, or send your orders by mail direct, to the
CHEAP BOOKSELLING and PUBLISHING ESTABLISHMENT of

T. B. PETERSON,
