^A^^WHEELBARROW^i^FOR ^ BEE -KEEPERS. 8^ 



alho a whkktjkakrifw for women, children, anu 

 peoi'IjE who are not vert stout. 



I have several times felt as if 

 I should like to try ray hand at 

 making a wheelbarrow of our 

 strongest wood and our best 

 steel, properly braced and ar- 

 ranged so as to give strength, 

 and yet not weigh one ounce 

 more than is absolutely necessa- 

 ry. At the Ohio State Fair last 

 year I found a wheelbarrow that 

 came so near filling the bill that 

 I asked the manufacturers how 

 cheaply they could make 100. 

 The wheelbarrow was all I could 

 desire; but the price, I thought 

 then, was more than we could 

 stand. During the winter, how- 

 ever, they made a proposition 

 which I considered very reason- 

 able, providing they could make 

 them at their convenience, when times were dull. Well, friends, the wheelbarrows are here, and they ai-e 

 a surprise to everybody. We show you a picture above. We have two sizes— the smaller one weighing 

 only a') lbs., and yet it will carry 500 lbs. safely, and it can be packed so closely together for shipment that 

 yoii can take the whole thing under your arm and walk oft' easily. The wheel has flat spokes Instead of 

 round. The different pieces are all cut and forged by means of dies. The legs are steel, so they will 

 neither break nor bend, even if you bump them on the sidewalk. The springs are oil-tempered, with ad- 

 justable bearings, so you can tighten them up for wear. More than all, the wheelbarrows are the nicest 

 job of painting and varnishing, I believe, I ever saw, for a farm implement. They are handsome enough 

 to go around town with, and strong enough to do heavy work; and yet the price of the small size is only 

 $4.00, the same as our iron wheelbarrow. The larger size is $4.50. The only discount that can be made 

 is 5 per cent off for two; 10 per cent off for five, or 15 per cent off for ten or more. They can be sent 

 either by freight or express. It is only five minutes' work to put one together.
