| Transcript | A. W. FABER'S MANUFACTORY ESTABLISHED 1761. A. W. FABER'S Wax Crayons or Creta Laevis Pencils. 7 inches long. These pencils are made in 52 different colors (48 ordinary and 4 extra colors), and are polished in accordance with the color of the chalk contained in the pencil. They possess advantages over ordinary pastel crayons, inasmuch as they are made of the finest pigments and can be used much in the same way as ordinary lead pencils, without fear of breaking away, and the work when finished does not efface or smear. Below is a list of the colors in which these pencils are supplied. LIST OF COLORS. No. 1. White " 59. Primrose Yellow " 64. Yellow Lake " 2. Pale Chrome " 4. Middle Chrome " 62. Deep Chrome " 37.
