THE PAWLONIA IMPEBIALIS. 



At this date, July 30, the tree is TV'a feet high, and 

 there are several leaves that are over 30 inches across. 

 Even if it dies down during winter (and I hardly think 

 it will), the tree is worth to me a dollar for one seaEon. 

 See page 954, last issue.- A. I. R. 



G. W PARK, LA PARK, PA. 



Quite a number of friends have reminded me that I 

 failed in our last issue to give Mr. Park's address, 

 which is as above. Well, I am sorry for my blunder, 

 but it indicates I had not in mind giving Bro. Park any 

 "free advertising." As his circulation is so large I 

 supposed most of our readers knew where he is located

The Hoe Safety Razor. 



All beards are alike to the Hoe, the heavy gristly 

 beard that requires to be reduced every morning, 

 and the light, unnoticeable beard that calls for a 

 shave only twice a week. 



The Hoe Safety Razor is by all odds the simplest 

 safety razor on the market to-day, as well as the 

 most perfect. It is composed of three parts, the 

 hoe, the guard, the razor itself; and this razor can 

 be honed when necessary just like any other razor. 



It costs only $1.50, and the price includes half a 

 dozen keen-edged blades, which ought to last any 

 beard a couple of years. Then you can buy more 

 blades.
