• Half Large 2¼ in. × 3 in.
• Third Large 1½ in. × 3 in.

Cards are now manufactured of a much better description than formerly. The fine absorbing qualities of good enamelled or polished cards enable a competent pressman to produce the most beautiful results,—in many cases scarcely discernible from copper-plate.
