split hickory vs. sawed 

 A vehicle is only as strong as its weakest part. A 

 wheel with hub spokes and felloes made from the 

 strongest wood, if the wood is .sawed across the grain, 

 has little .strength. The " Split Hickory- " line of ve- 

 hicles, as the name indicates, is constructed of split 

 hickorj'- wo/ .sawed and is of greatest strength and 

 endurance and uniformly strong in all its parts. To 

 obtain these splendid, strong, and stylish vehicles, 

 .send to Station 27. the Ohio Carriage Mfg. Co., Cincin- 

 nati. O., for complete illu.slrated catalog. Their prices 

 are low, quality high, and their thirty days' free trial 

 offer is genuine and bona fide.
