WHAT TO DO, 



—AND— 



How to Be Happy While Doing It. 



The above book, by A. 1. Boot, is a compilation of 

 papers published in Gleanings in 1886, '7, and 8. 

 It is intended to solve the problem of finding occu- 

 pation for those scattered over our land, out of em- 

 ployment. The suggestions are principally about 

 finding employment around your own homes. The 

 book is mainly upon market-gardening, fruit cul- 

 ture, poultry-raising, etc. 1 think the book will be 

 well worth the price, not only to those out of em- 

 ployment, but to any one who loves home and rural 

 industries. Price in paper covers, 50 cts.; cloth, 75 

 ctB. If wanted by mail, add 8 and 10c respectively.

The above are all what are known as straight trimmers, as shown in the cut, except the 9 and 10 inch. 

 Part of these are straight, but most of them are bent trimmers; that is, the bottom of the shear, or bot- 

 tom blade, is on a level with the bottom of handle. Such large shears are generally used for cutting on a 

 table, and this shape is preferable. We have also a few dozen 9-inch barber shears that will be put in at 

 the same price. These shears are made near here, and we have been in the factory, and have seen them 

 in process of making. The blades are steel laid, and all is handsomely nickel plated. Now you will want 

 to know how we can sell them so cheap. In welding the steel plate on to the blades there will sometimes 

 be a little flaw that can not be all taken out in polishing. These slight blemishes do not injure the shears 

 a particle for actual service, but still they don't like to put them among the first grade of perfect goods. 

 They are kept by themselves, and sold at a lower price. Of course, these goods are not regular stock, 

 and are not advertised by the makers. Therefore whoever takes the lot as they come can get them very 

 low. Having bought so large a quantity, 150 dozen, we got them at our own price, and it is for that reason 

 that we are able to offer the above bargains. Some of the shears are perfect in every respect, except 

 that they lack a full nickel plate all over, and some are so near perfect that you can not see any thing at 

 all the matter with them, and they are all just A ROOT" lVT^Hirifl O 



as good for service as the very best grade. -"-• L - A x w ^ x ' ^cuuia, ks .
