 metal ends, strong blades; price,

 F. H. Day, Wilmington, Del., 

 writes, Jan. 12:— "After receiv- 

 iner the knife I honed it down to 

 a tine, keen edge, and tried it on 

 hard, dry white-oak; the edge 

 neither turned nor broke, which 

 is more than I can say of any other knife I ever owned." We expect to build up our trade by selling good 

 GOODS; will you help us? Our extra-heavy 2-blnde, made for farmers and mechanics, is the best knife in 

 the market; price, postpaid, 75c. Boy's knife, 2oc; ladies, 1-blade, 25c; 2-blade, .50c; Gent's 3-blade, $1.00.
