ORNAMENTAL DESIGNS FOR FRET-WORK, SCROLL SAWING, FANCY CARVING, AND HOME DECORATIONS.
Fret Sawing has become an art of such wonderful popularity that the interest in it has been shared by both amateurs and professionals to an astonishing extent. Hundreds are earning large sums of pocket-money by cutting these beautiful household ornaments, and selling among friends or acquaintances, or at the art stores.
Ladies and the Young Folks find in it a fascinating recreation, and are making dozens of fancy articles at small cost, to decorate their homes in a charming manner, or to give as Holiday Presents to friends. The following books contain mechanical designs of full size for immediate use, and are invaluable alike to amateurs, ladies, young folks, mechanics, architects, and all of professional skill:
PART 1. contains full size designs for Picture Frames. Small Brackets, Book Racks, Fancy Letters and Figures, Ornaments, Wall Pockets, etc. (Has patterns worth at usual prices over $8.) Price 75 cents, post-paid by mail.
PART 2. is devoted exclusively to designs of Brackets of medium to large size, all entirely new, and of the most tasteful detail and execution. (Contains over 50 plans, worth at least $15.) Price, $1.00, by mail, post-paid.
PART 3. is devoted to Fancy Work, Ladies’ Work Baskets, Easels, Crosses, Match Boxes, Pen Racks, Paper Cutters, Calendar Frames, Thermometer Stands, Watch Pockets, Fruit Baskets, Table Platters, etc. Nearly 100 designs, many of them really exquisite. Price $1.00.
PART 4.--=FRET SAWYER’S ANNUAL, 1876.= Contains 84 patterns of Crosses. Shrine Frame, Photograph Holder, Stereoscopic View Rack, Card Receivers, Borders, Cake Baskets, etc. This is a very cheap and tasteful book of designs. If sold singly would be worth $2.50.

They open a new field in this favorite work, and these are the best designs yet published in the United States. They are remarkably handsome, many very comical, and some perfectly superb. The page of CROSSES is alone worth the price of the book. This book also contains many exquisite designs for painting on wood, Furniture, and Pottery--also for Mechanical Ornaments, and Fancy Work of all descriptions. Price 60 cents.
PART 6.--=FRET SAWYER’S ANNUAL, 1877.= Published Oct., 1877. This is composed of new patterns, designed expressly for this season, and will be found specially adapted to amateurs or others who have hitherto purchased only the cheap and single patterns of more common and less pleasing designs. The price of this book is so cheap that it will be easily afforded by every one, even the poorest. Contains 29 new patterns, worth at sheet prices fully $1.50. New Picture Frames, Easels, Visiting Card Case, Bracket, Doll’s Carriage, Mirror Frame, Fancy Match Box, etc. Price 30 cents by mail, post-paid.

PART 8.--=FRET SAWYER’S ANNUAL FOR 1880.= Published Jan. 1, 1880. Fret Sawing has increased so much within the last few years, that the manufacturers of fret saws have thought it worth their while to bring their saws as near perfection as possible. Not only does this spirit animate the manufacturer, but it stirs with equal force the publisher of patterns, so that each new issue of designs is made better, if possible, than the last. We claim that this last volume of our issue eclipses, for originality of design and beauty of ornamentation, any previously issued. It contains patterns for a complete set of articles that no room should be without, all done in the Eastlake style, and no two articles alike. This book contains over 40 patterns. Price $1.00, post-paid, by mail.
