Medina. OHIO 



()AT.M.\X"S SOLDERING OUTFIT. 



Here is. another outfit 

 put u)) in Medinn that 

 deserves special men- 

 tion. The cut shows 

 what it includes; and it 

 occurs to nil' that (his is 

 <iuite as indispensable 

 ibout the home ;is the 

 ,_^™„, ,, |, , ,^-^ -hoe-i'epairing- outfit, if 



'f-=- 1 \W i /"^I^ i'"l '"<>'■*' ^"' TlH're are 



f_^^^ VJi|^-4)v^_^^<>'''"^^ few homes in which 

 a^3-'reWj - — some of Ilu' tinware is 



not si)ringing a leak. If you bad 1 he tools at hand 

 to fix it at once, you would save it ; but, ten chances 

 to one, it is allowed to giow worse, and is finallj' 

 thrown away. If you should think of it when you 

 go to town, and carry it to the tiiuier to fi.\, you are 

 put to a good deal more trouble than if you did it at 

 liome yourself, and. very likely, have to pay half 

 what the aitlcle is worth to have it meniled. I'll 

 guarantee that this outfit will easily ijay for itself in 

 a year or less, in almost anj bom", by the mending- 

 hills and tinware it will save. Price only $3,00; six 

 for $10.01). The outfit weighs boxed about 13 lbs. 



THE AUGITE STOVE MAT, AGAIN. 



An article that is causing such a 

 sensation as this, and that is prov- 

 ing itself such a blessing in every 

 home that it enters, deserves fre- 

 ijuent mention. Like other val- 

 I liable articles it already has imita- 

 m-s. One of these, called the 

 ' Crown mat, we could buy for less 

 money than the augite: but hav- 

 ing examined a sample dozen, and 

 <;ompired them with the augite, 

 we have decided tliat the latter is 

 much the cheajjer at the slightly ad anced price 

 that we have to pay A dozen Crown mats weigh 

 only two-thirds as much as a dozen aug.te; and, 

 being more flimsy, they will luit wear as will, nor 

 do the required work as well, because thinner. The 

 other imitator is called the Fie cher tire-mat. The 

 sample of this we examined is fully as heavy as the 

 augite, but tlie rim w;is not nearly so neat, and the 

 general appearance of the mat was not as nice as 

 the augite, and it is no cheaper, so it cut no figure. 

 The prices we are making on the augite mats are 

 exc edingly low. We are able to make these i rices 

 because of the quantity we handle, which reaches 

 five gross every week or ten daj's. We have had 

 over forty gross from the factory in the past four 

 months, and sales are increasing. Our |)resent 

 prices, as given in last issue, are as follows: By'mail, 

 postpaid. 1 for 3.5c; 3 for 6.5c; 5 for $1.00; 13 for- $3.31). 

 By f rt'ight or express, you ])aying the chai-ges, 1 for 



30c; 3 for 50c; 12 for Sl.BO; 3d(.z. for $4.50; 6doz., 

 $8.00; 12doz., SI15.00. 



Here is one of the many testimonials I'eceived in 

 regard to the mat. This conies from the wife of 

 A. V. Bishop, of Milwaukee, Wis., wiio quotes for 

 the Honey Column. With an order lor six dozen, 

 she says: 



Tliey are one of the wonders of this age— one of 

 the '• secrets " the Father has had in store to be re- 

 vealed in these last days for our comfort and daily 

 convenience. No one can afford to be without one 

 or two in the household. 



The anxious ;ind careful cook 



Can now wear a pleased and liappy look. 



And speak in fullest praise 



Of tire mat in tuneful lays. 



Yours truly, Mrs. A. V. Bishop. 

 Milwaukee, Wis.
