35 Premiums for Plumbago Manufaetures sinee 1839. 
Eslablished 1827. Oldest House in this Trade in the United States. 
DIXON’S CRUCIBLES, STOVE POLISH, LUBRI- 
CATING AND ELECTROTYPING PLUMBAGO, and Plumbago 
prepared for various branches of the mechanic arts, are all long and favorably known. 
We have been eight years preparing for the manufacture of FINE LEAD 
PENCILS, as being the only branch of the Plumbago business that we had not yet 
taken up. Machinery has been constructed in our own works, automatic, avoiding hand 
labor, and giving a perfect finish and uniformity of quality not heretofore attained. 
Eight grades of Lead are now ready, aud we exhibit for the first time 
DIXON’S 
PATENTED AMERICAN 
Graphite Pencils, 
FOR QUALITY AND UNIFORMITY. 
We shall not be prepared with the fancy styles in time for this Exhibition, therefore 
we do not yet exhibit for style, but we challenge the manufacturers of any country to equal 
the perfect smoothness of our Leads, or to produce a Pencil as pleasant to use as Dixon’s 
American Graphite Pencils.
