buy the 



Hoosier Self Feed Rip Saw. This macliine has earned thousands 

 of dollars for owners in the manufacture of dimension lumber, crating, 

 etc., because its entirely novel design, resulting in surprising ease of 

 operation and adaptability, makes possible a profit where a loss is 

 often expected in this work. The 



Hoosier Self-Feed Rip Saw 



has a positive and powerful feed which handles the heaviest material 

 as readily as the lightest. 



The table, raised and lowered with the crank in front of the ma- 

 chine, is always level — always securely locked.

With the acceptance of the Armistice 

 Terms extended by the Grand Alliance to 

 the Central Powers, there is every evi- 

 dence that the Government will lift the re- 

 strictions on building and that the so- 

 termed "non-essential" industries are to be 

 given permission to operate on a larger

 sions which were delayed by the Govern-

 ready with a large stock of materials to 

 give you prompt service in every way.

 on you, explain our process, outline the 

 type and size of kiln you require and give 

 you an estimate of the cost.
