is not the only 



the Smokers we manufacture. 



They are strong, and well made. Of the Clark Cold=Blast we have 



sold over 150,000 ; and the Crane Hot=Blast — well, although it is a 



new smoker it is taking like "hot caliies." .... 



The new '94 model Crane 

 is a beauty; and among some 

 of its distinguishing fea- 

 tures are an improved 



Check=Valve, 



a device that forces the air 

 through tlie cup, even when 

 crammed witli fuel, and at 

 the same time prevents 

 smoke from going into the 

 bellows; a 



Hinged Top 



secured by a malli'ali1e-iron 

 liinge accurately milled at 

 the joint so that the top will 

 fly squarely in place. No 

 need of burning Angers in 

 replenishing, nor losing tlie 

 top off. 



.CORRUGATED 

 SHIELD 



The Lining 



this year consists of asbestos 

 sheeting around tlie outside 

 of the flre-cup; and over tliis 

 still is a neat corrugated- 

 shield This combination is 

 the most effective of any 

 thing we have ever tried. 

 And last, but not least, tlie 

 cup is secured by four small 

 BOLTS, not screws. 



Price of Crane Smoker, 

 each in a neat telescope 

 pasteboard box, $1.60; or 

 prepaid, $1.95. Dealers, 

 write for wholesale prices

 ized manufacturers.
