GUSTAV BRAUNHOLD
Respectfully informs the citizens of Chicago that, having purchased the Bindery of Marcus Morse, he is preparing to do all kinds of Binding in plain….
Having been Mr. Morse’s Business Foreman for the last four years he flatters himself that he can give satisfaction to all, and respectfully solicit a share of the patronage of the citizens of Chicago. Gustav Braunhold

VIEW OF CHICAGO.—Mr. Jas M. Palmatary, who has been for some time past engaged in getting views of different cities in the West, exhibits to specimens of his skill which are both truthful and beautiful. Among these we notice as worthy of particular commendation, views of Toledo, Sandusky and Louisville—all very handsomely and correctly executed.
Mr. Palmatary proposes to get up a “View of Chicago” in a style similar to the specimens which we have mentioned, on a sheet 52 by 34 inches, printed in eight colors of oil—a view that will represent every house, every street, the windings of the river, and the course and location of every railroad in city. Such a view executed in good style will in a few years be invaluable; and we trust that Mr. P. may receive encouragement to warrant him in carrying out his design in the most satisfactory manner. We learn from him that he is at this time engaged on similar pictures for Milwaukee, Madison, Janesville and Watertown in Wisconsin. Surely, Chicago will not be behind other and smaller cities.

CHARLES SONNE,
(Successor to Braunhold & Sonne,)
51 & 53 La Salle Street.
Continuing the business at the Old Stand, I solicit the patronage of the old, with the assurance that I shall spare neither values or cost not only in keeping up the old good reputation but also in improving it, so as to keep It above competition.
I call the attention of the public to my City Bindery and Blank Book Manufactory, the oldest and best in the city, established in 1845. Being myself a therough practical Binder, I can promise good work, as I attend to the execution of orders personally. Any orders for Blank Books, Ruling, Binding of Magazines or other Books, and Printing for any corporation, commercial or private purpose, will be executed promptly and with wonted care.
I continue also the direct importation of German Gilt Mouldings for Picture Frames, and have just received a large invoice, which I offer at and below New York price. Deaiers in Picture Frames will profit by buying of me.
Also recived an invoice of Berlin Genre Prints, which I also offer helow New York price.
My stock of Pictures, Looking Glasses, Stationery, Wall Paper, Oil Paintings, Drawing Paper and Window Shades is complete. Come and see.
Chas. Sonne, 51 & 53 La Salle street.

At a little past twelve o’clock this (Thursday) morning, an alarm was sounded for a fire that had already got a strong hold on the four story brick building Nos. 51, 53 and 55 La Salle street. The upper stories were all in flames before the firemen could get their position. It was not long, however, before the fire was got under partial control, and as we go to press, it is certain that no damage will come to adjoining blocks, if indeed the flames be not limited in their progress to the two upper stories.
The building is occupied by Church, Goodman & Cushing, who have a book store and Baptist depository on the lower floor, and a job printing office overhead. The building also includes the publication office of the Christian Times. The upper floor was occupied by H. Wiggins, frame-maker. There were other occupants, whose names we did not learn.
It is impossible, at the time of writing, to make any estimate pf the loss.

CHILDRENS’ BOOKS
The war, with all its adversities, does not put an end to the pleasant little duty of providing entertaining and good reading for young eyes. It even makes more valuable, from the contrast of their cheapness and attractiveness, the pretty volumes wherewith the counters and shelves of our friends, Messrs. Church, Goodman & are loaded—the issues of the American Tract Society of Boston, and that good friend of the little folks, Henry Hoyt of Boston. Among the latest they hare received are Children’s Picture Book, Lonnie our Little Lamb, The Sabbath School Concert, Uncle Jabez, Aunt Kate’s Talks, Uncle Paul’s Stories, Help Over Hard Places for Boys, Help Over hard Places for Girls. They have also a Fariety of Sabbath school singing books, and circulate to over 20,000 children every month the childrens paper’s of several kinds.
Their store is at No. 53 Lasalle street, opposite Metropolitan Hall.
