This Purse Will Teach Your Boy 

 to Save 



I 



F you want your boy to 

 grow up with a clear 

 idea of the value of money, 

 buy him a purse like the 

 one illustrated. 



The purse is made of a 

 long piece of leather sewed 

 to pro\'ide eight pockets, 

 one for each day in the 

 week and one for savings. 

 The boy divides his allow- 

 ance into seven parts and 

 places it in the seven com- 

 partments, named after the 

 days of the week. Each 

 night he should endeavor 

 to have a little money left 

 in the compartment mark- 

 ed with the name of that 

 day. This is transferred 

 to the eighth pocket, which 

 is his savings bank. The 

 eight pockets fold together 

 compactly so that the 

 purse will fit a boy's pock- 

 et. Each compartment has 

 a flap which fastens with 

 a snap. 



The thrift purse has eight com- 

 partments, one for each day's al- 

 lowance and one for savings 



to tilt the body of the truck, 

 support the load, 

 entire weight is borne by the 

 truck itself, and the four 

 wheels, which run easily on 

 ball bearings. When the 

 man who is pushing the 

 truck wishes to let it down, 

 he simply lets go of the 

 handles, guiding the han- 

 dle-end of the truck to the 

 floor. The weight of the 

 linoleum bears it dowm, so 

 that no force is required 

 on the part of the truck- 

 man. The handle end of 

 the truck is provided with 

 two folding legs on which 

 that end rests when the 

 roll of linoleum is to be 

 brought to a horizontal 

 as it must be for 



position,

A New Truck for handling Five-Hun 

 dred-Pound Rolls of Linoleum 



ANEW departure in the 

 shop trucks, utilized to 

 handle heavy rolls of linoleum, 

 has sprung into favor in many 

 factories and department 

 stores. No ordinary two- 

 w heeled, straight- 

 backcd truck 's this. It 

 has a four- A'heeled chas- 

 sis and a back which 

 consists of three rollers, 

 so that the handling of 

 the rolls is easy. 



When a five-hundred- 

 pound roll of linoleum is 

 to be carried from one 

 place to another, the lip 

 of the truck is slipped 

 under the end of the roll 

 and the whole is simply 

 pushed along on the 

 wheels. It is not neces- 



the oilcloth or 

 is in the hori- 

 zontal position, as in the 

 illustration below, the end 

 of the cloth can be pulled 

 out from underneath 

 the roll wdth little 

 effort. Less space is taken 

 up in the operation than 

 was formerly required. 

 Of course, this truck may be used for any 

 heavy carrying w hich, without its aid, would 

 require the labor of two men. As the labor 

 shortage is so acute at present, this advan- 

 tage is one to be especially consid- 

 ered during these war days.
