Preface.
Our American Branch house in New-York under the management of Mr. Wm. Krafft has now been established for over 10 years. This period has witnessed a gradual development of our business in the United States, making it necessary to establish some years ago a Western Branch in Chicago of which Mr. R. Gibson has charge.
The cordial reception our firm received has been most gratifying and we take this opportunity to thank our many patrons for their kind consideration.
It is our aim to co-operate with the scientists and construct new apparatus to meet their needs or improve others wherever this is possible.
The foregoing list of additions and improvements made since issueing our last catalogue is proof that we spare no time nor labor to hold pace with the increased wants of modern times.
We have now manufactured and sold over 71000 compound microscopes and 31000 oil immersion objectives, a large number of which are used in the laboratories of Universities, Colleges, and other Educational Institutions of the United States.
We are prepared at New-York and Chicago to repair our instruments or make alterations at short notice and at lowest prices. The optical part of a microscope should invariably be sent to the maker, as he is best in a position to repair same and has an added interest to bring a lens back to its original quality or even improve it.
Microscopes, bacteriological apparatus and all other scientific instruments or preparations expressly imported for use in educational institutions are exempt from duty.
