A scale is invaluable for check- 

 ing up all purchases made. There 

 is a long: felt want in every family 

 for a reliable, accurate, good 

 weighing pair of scales that is 

 sold at a moderate price. 



preserving, cooking and 



baking, a pair of scales is 



necessary in weighing 



the proper proportion 



of fruit, sugar, etc., as all 



recipes are now prescribed by 



ounces and pounds, instead uf the old method of 



using cups, which were found to differ very materially 

 in size. 



When the batcher brings a roast or leaves a steak, or 

 the grocery boy delivers your order, it's a mighty good 

 idea to weigh it. 



Suppose a roll of butter is purchasod. Place a 

 plate upon the platform and turn the pcrew 

 towards the left until the hand is brought back aKain 

 to zero. Then the butter is placed on the plate and 

 the actual weight of the butter is indicated on the 

 dial.

 life-time. Each scale packed in an individual b(.)X. 

 It is entirely different trom any scale ever offered. 

 It is built entirely oi steel, exceptthe dial, which is made of 

 aluminum with the marks and 6giu-es large enough to be seen 

 easily. The back-ground is finished in black. The platfonn is 

 made oi a heavy glazed tile, supported on double steel uprights. 

 This is entirely new and never seen on any scale beiure. 



The scale is beautifcilly finished in Alumin- 

 um Bronze, artistically decorated. It can be 

 mstantly adjusted to be used with a basket,

EUREKA 

 CARPET SWEEPER 



Case is maile of cold rolled sheet steel, finished in a high 

 grade dark green bicycle enamel, baked on. The broom act- 

 lion is constructed so that while it is a very sensitive action, 

 vet the wheels are always in perfect frictional contact with 

 the brush roll. 



The sweeper will not get out of order in any way as the 

 conatructiun is simple, there being but two springs used and 

 they are the springs that hold the dust pans firmly in place. 

 The wheels are also made of cold rolled pressed steel, with 

 long cone bearings, fitted ivith best grade of, robber tires. 

 The sweeper has an antl-tipping attachment, so that no 

 matter how quickly it is drawn over the carpet It wiil not 

 tip up. 



The brushea are of the best grade imported Chinese 

 bristles, and in ordinary service are guaranteed to last from 

 B to 10 vears. No better brush is made no matter what 

 price the sweeper sells for. On account of the all-steel con- 

 struction the length of the sweeper is about 1 1-2 inches less 

 than other sweepers, although the length of brush is just the 

 For this reason it will sweep closer to oase-boards or furniture— a fact

 forcing the blades together with the thumb and finger, 

 as is required with the old-time shears. It's all in the sprine 

 tension. It has a marvelous power and is absolutely inde- 

 structible. You should get one of the self-sharpening spring
