Those Teeth 
Preventslipping by 
gripping’ the 
branches and elimi- 
nate half the labor 
The feature 
of these shears 
is the serrated 
edge running along 
the entire length of one 
blade. This slight change 
saves half of the fatiguing 
effort that is required to oper- 
ate ordinary hedge shears. It 
does away with stopping for adjust- 
ment, as in the notched shears. They 
cut without slipping at any part of the 
blade. No more waste of time or energy 
over the grindstone. The teeth are sloped to- 
ward the point so that the cutting blade issharp- & 
ened by each successive stroke. Made in Sheffield 
for the Benton Company, after the perfectly balanced 
English model. 
The Neverslip Garden Tools 
have the samenon-slipping and self-sharpening features as the Never- 
slip Hedge Shears and are of the same high standard of w i
