THE OLD WAY; THE NEW 



The Box Handle Company 



of 800 First Avenue, South, Seattle, Washington 

 has become a benefactor to the orchard man, 

 the packer, the expressman, the produce man, 

 and all others who handle boxes. 



The man who w^orks in the orchard can only 

 pick up one box at a time and it is some strain 

 to pick the box up from the ground. With a pair 

 of handles he picks up two boxes and carries 

 them with ease. He is not half so tired when 

 aight comes, and. does as much work as two men, 

 which cuts your labor down. 



The apple season is short at the best. You 

 don't lose any apples out of the box by using 

 the handles. You get a better percentage of 

 packing because the apples are not bruised by 

 using box handles. 



This handle will lift any size box from 1 5 to 

 22 inches long. Every rancher who owns a ranch 

 from 10 to 50 acres should have from 1 to 1 2 

 pairs of handles. 



Your stomach won't be sore or your back 

 lame when night comes if you will use the box 

 handles. 



The prices are $2.00 for one handle or $3.50 

 for a pair. 



After you have used a pair for one day, you 

 wouldn't take $20.00 for theni if you couldn't 

 get another pair. Don't let this opportunity get 

 away. Buy now. Send us $3.50 and let us send 

 you one pair by Parcel Post. We feel satisfied 

 that you will buy more if you need them.
