MICA 



AXLE 

 CREASE 



An old atandby with far- 

 men and teamsters. Even 

 if it contained no mica it 

 would still be a good ax!e 

 grease^but the mica makes 

 it better, because it fills in 

 and smooths up the micro- 

 scopic roughness of spindle 

 and hub, enabling the 

 grease to wear longer and 

 do its work better. Use only 

 half as much as of ordinary 

 grease. Comes in sizes from 

 1-lb. tins to barrels.

Easy Now to Rid 



Your Farm of Gophers 



Wonderful Discovery by Noted Scientist 



Kills Every Gopher Within a Week's 



Time — Not a Poison. 



Gophers cost farmers over two hundred millions of 

 dsllars a year, through the destruction of crops and damage 

 to land. Farmers need no longer suffer this loss, because 

 they can now kill off all the gophers on their farm in less 

 than a week's time. This is possible through the remarkable 

 discovery of E. R. Alexander, a chemist, who has perfected 

 a virus which kills gophers and rats as though by magic. 

 The product is not a poison — it can be eaten by human 

 beings or any animal on the farm as safely as their regular 

 food, but means quick, sure death to gophers. 



This wondtrful gopher virus, which is known as Alex 

 ander Gopher-Killer, is^njerely mixed with bread or meat 

 scraps and placed where gophers, rats or mice can get to it. 

 Within a few hours after a gopher has eaten Alexander 

 Gopher-Killer he gets a high fever and suffers a terrible 

 thirst. He leaves his pit and nesting holes and goes to the 

 open fields in search of pure air and running water. 



It is a scientific fact that one gopher affects others, and 

 soon the whole colony dies. And though this virus is 

 absolutely deadly to gophers — chickens, hogs, cattle or any 

 farm anima xan eat it and not be affected at all. 



So confident is Mr. Alexander that Alexander Gopher- 

 Killer will kill every gopher on your farm in less than a 

 week's time, that he offers to send, as an introductory 

 offer, a regular $4.00 tube for only $2.00. Give it according 

 to directions, and if at the end of a week's time you are able 

 to discover any gophers, rats, or mice on your farm your 

 money will be refunded. A big Toronto bank guarantees 

 that Mr. Alexander is reliable and will do as he says. 



Just send money order, check or currency for $2.00 to 

 E. R. -Alexander, Alexander Laboratories, 3030 Terminal, 

 Toronto, Ont., and the tube will be mailed at once on the 

 guarantee that if not absolutely satisfactory your money 

 will be returned without question. Write to-day and stop 

 your gopher losses now
