BEHRE'S IMPROVED MODEL 



STEM-ER 



Patent applied for. 



A time-saver to the extent of leseening over 60^ 

 of the labor, together with the grace in which the 

 leaves and flowers can be set by the firm hold the 

 Stemmer has upon them, makings them an arti- 

 ele of perfection. They are now being used by 

 leading designers. 



This is what E. Woerz, of Enid, Olcla., thinks of my Stemmer: 

 "Please ship at once 6000 Stemmers; I am out and cannot gtt along 

 without them. Yours truly, Eugeme Woen." 



Prioea: From 1000 to 6000 at 76c per 1000; 10.000 lota al 

 . 70c: 25.000 lota and oyer at 66c. At your dealer's ordlnel
