SOMETHING THAT EVERY GOOD HOUSEWIFE 

 HAS BEEN LOOKING FOR. 



Who has not felt the need of 

 some simple and effective dc 

 vice for holding a door at anj 

 desii'ed position? Many times 

 > on want to let in a vef.y small 

 amount of air, and it is difficult 

 to fasten the door .just where 

 you want it. Many people use 

 a couple of bricks, but these 

 are unhandy, and ungainly look- 

 ing things. 



The accompanying cut shows 

 the nicest thing i'or the purpose 

 we have ever found. It is verj- 

 simple, and yet very effective. 

 It is attached to the corner of 

 the door with four screws. You 

 place your door just where you 

 want it and press your toe on 

 the upper end, pressing it hai-d 

 against the floor. In the mean- 

 time the small dog catches it 

 and holds it there and vour door 

 is securel.v fastened. When you 

 want to "release it lo shut or 

 open the door, simply touch 

 .\our toe to the dog, and the 

 spring insid(! i^re.'^ses the cen- 

 ter bar up out of the way. The 

 lower end has a rubber caj) in 

 serted so that it may be used 

 on a carpeted floor, or even on 

 a nice hard-tinished floor, with- 

 out in,iurj'. 



If you trj- one you will want one lor e\ery door 

 in your house. The price is only 35 cts.; by mail, 

 postpaid, 45 cts.

The two wheelbarrows I ordered of you came ail 

 right, in ,iust 7 da.\ s from the time I sent the order, 

 in splendid condition We are well pleased with 

 them. I don't know how such a neat little barrow 

 cau be made for $4 00. I would not take $5.00 for 

 mine. Bees are working on basswood very lively.

A HOUSEHOLD NECESSITY. 



Gle.vnings has come to be a household necessity 

 with us. Mrs. L. says we can not do without it, and 

 my little girl i.s much interested in the young folks' 

 department. I got a good deal of help from all de- 

 partments in the matrazine, and I will sa.v, with Mr. 

 Pond, that you will never know here how much 

 good you are doing. W. B. Longley.

IN DEFENSE OF OUK GOODS; THAT WAX-E.\TRACT- 

 OR. 



I was reading in Gle.anings, page 387. 1887, a lit- 

 tle complaint against you and your goods from P. 

 Schons. I don't see how he got such a bad wax-ex- 

 tractor as he said he did. fori purchased one of you 

 in 1881). It worked like a charm. In place of losing 

 5 lbs. of wax, as Mr. S. said he did, I am fully satis- 

 tied that I gained 10 lbs. in using the extractor in 

 place of extracting the old way. And he complains 

 of his goods coming too late'. In regard to that, I 

 purchased goods of you in 188t). They came four 

 days sooner than I expected them to come, and I 

 told you to send them by express, which you did. I 

 did not ask you to mark them as corn, as Mr. S. 

 would like you to mark his goods. I have always 

 found you square in your dealings. An.v one who 

 is making complaint of you is doing more than I 

 can do. John H. Pence.
