Saws that Never Need Filing. 



Ever since we first gave notice of the Star saws, 

 some years ago. the blades of which were sold so 

 cheap that a new one could be put in cheaper than 

 to have a saw filed, there has been an immense 

 trade inihem. The Millers Falls Co. have recently 

 got out the saw shown in the cut below, that takes

STAR KITCHEN SAW 



'^'/i.'jMViyjx^iMM^j'M;^.: 



a U inch blade, and yet the price is only 50 cts.— 

 saw. blade, and all. Extra blades cost a dollar a 

 dozen; therefore, when your saw needs sharpen- 

 inj? it costs less than 10 cts. to have a bright new 

 blade, ready for husiijess. And this is not all. 

 These Star saw-blades, by some special process, are 

 given a higher temper than any thing else in the 

 saw line. You can saw a board or a bone, saw off a 

 gas-pipe or a gun-barrel, and all with the same saw. 

 The first one I ever saw I carried down into our ma- 

 chine shop, gave it to our machinist, and told him 

 to see what it was worth. After a few minutes' 

 trial he asked the price and handed out the money, 

 without a word. The truth is, he had never seen 

 any thing like it before, for sawing iron and steel. 

 The one we picture is made a specialty, to be hung 

 up in the kitchen: and I rather think, my friend, 

 you can not make your wile a better present than 

 to get her one of these saws, to bang up in her 

 kitchen. Jf you behave yourself, may be she will 

 lend it to you occasionally; hut, be sure to bring it 

 back when you are done with it. If you don't, 

 there may be a family jar. If wanted by mail, the 

 price will be 20c extra. Postage on blades, 10c per 

 doz. Star butcher saws have been reduced in price.

PASTEBOARD BOXES, 



Or Cartons, for One-Pound Sections. 



Bee-keepers are realizing 

 more and more the value of 

 these cartons for putting 

 their comb honey in marketa- 

 ble shape. Other articles of 

 home consumption are put 

 up in a neat attractive way, 

 and in shape to be handed to 

 the customer, and carried 

 safely without wrapping. 

 Why not sections of comb 

 honey, especially when the 

 cost of the boxes is so low?

KIND WORDS FROM OUR CUSTOMERS. 



MARCH'S CAULIFLOWER SEED. 



I sowed cauliflower seed on the same day, and in 

 the same bed, from three seed firms, and I tried to 

 sow them just the same; but when they came up, 

 March's seed stood three to one over the other

BENTON MAILING-CAGE. 



Your imported queen, mailed to me on the 6th, 

 arrived in fine condition on the 10th. I sately in- 

 troduced her according to directions accompanying 

 her, and upon examination on the 13th 1 found one 

 frame nearly filled with eggs. I must say your 

 caging and mailing methods are unsurpassed.
