 dimension manufacture and grade refining at the mill 

 possible. Hundreds of users already — you will be an- 

 other If you will let us tell you all about it — Will you? 



Easiest Handling 



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. 



The Hoosier rips anything up to 6 inches thick and 17 inches wide. 

 It feeds 35, 75, 100 or ISO feet a minute.
