Far be it from us to disagree with the master builder, but it’s been our unhappy experience that time stays still for no man—and there’s never quite enough of the blasted stuff. All the more reason to keep reading, shrewd shopper! This new, 1880 edition of the world-renowned Smith & Robards Catalog contains a bounty of labor-saving devices that make time stay for whatever purpose you deem fit. Through nine years, a Civil War in conflict and in stalemate, a transcontinental race of Rail Barons, the Great Rail Wars tearing the West asunder, and the most recent catastrophe to shatter the once-proud City of Lost Angels, your friends at Smith & Robards have never once faltered, never allowed our dogged pursuit of perfection to flag for even an instant. In short, valued customer, we remain dedicated to bringing you the finest, most amazing machinery money can buy. And though we have not discovered theSample secret of making file time stand still— yet!—we are committed to our calling in science,
