Corrugated Bread- knife. 



I presume all who have tried It agree that, for 

 cutting bread, especially fresh breid and cake, 

 nothing is equal to a knife with corrugated (or saw- 

 tooth( edge. The Christy and Clauss knives have 

 had a large sale. Both of these have a straight 

 blade with corrugated edge, and it is not so easily 

 sharpened as a straightedge. The knife we offer 

 overcomes this difficulty and slill retains the cor- 

 rugated edge. Because the blade is corrugated 

 when it is ground with a straight bevel on one side, 

 it makes the cutting edge corrugated, and accom- 

 plishes the desired result. We are also able to offer 

 these knives for less than the others. We will give 

 one free for one new subscriber to Gleanings, with 

 $1 00, and 5 ds. to pay postage, and yuu may offer 

 the rest of this year free 10 the new subscriber. If 

 you send your own renewal also, you may omit the 

 5 cts. postage, .ind we will send you postpaid. 

 An Aluminum Thimble. 



This is something that will not 

 rust or tarnish. It is so light you 

 would not know it was on your An- 

 ger by its v.eight. It is very tough, 

 and will wear almost indefinitely. 

 Nothinfi; could be more desirable 

 to give to wife or daughter, or your 

 best girl. We will sell the thimble 

 at 6c. postpaid, or 5c. with other

 knife at 25c postpaid; or with other
