 poor — how to keep a Refrigerator sweet and sanitary — how your food can be prop-

 "porcelain" refrigerators. The "Monroe" has the only real por- 

 celain food compartments made in a pottery and in one piece of 

 solid, unbreakable White Porcelain Ware over an inch thick, 

 with every corner rounded, no cracks or crevices anywhere'. 

 There are no hiding places for germs— no odors, no dampness!

J. H. Hale, the "Peach King," writes: "THE DOUBLE ACTION 'CUTAWAY' is a splendid tool. 

 I use it in polishing off my peach orchards several times a year. A good pair of horses handle it all right." 



The genuine "CUTAWAY" tools are used and endorsed by successsul orchardists from coast to coast 

 and bay to gulf. 



In orchard work the driver can cultivate under the trees and below the low limbs, the horses not inter- 

 fering with the branches. The double levers give the driver full control oi tool at all times. For regular 

 farm work the gangs can be drawn together.

Every orchardist and fruit grower should have one or more of these labor savers and fruit makers. 

 They will positively pay for themselves in one season. To investigate is to be convinced. 



Thorough cultivation makes large crops. Stirring the soil lets in the air, sunshine and new life and kills 

 foul vegetation. The "CUTAWAY" disk slices, stirs, lifts, twists and aerates the soil. CLARK'S 

 "CUTAWAY" TOOLS run lighter and do better work than any other machine. Lasts a lifetime.
