No Leaky Rubber Ring. No Glass Top 

 to Leak in Air. No Poisonous Zinc Cap. 

 But Instead a Patent, 

 Airtight Sanitary 

 Gold Enameled 



The 



White Crystal Glass. Wide Month. 



Is the only Home Canning Jar ever made 

 in which you can put up Berries and all 

 other fruits without the use of sugar and 

 have them keep forever. The only jar in which 

 you can put up Peas — String and Lima Beans — 

 Corn on the Cob — and all other vegetables— fish and 

 meats — and have them keep in as perfect and de- 

 licious a condition as when you put them in the jars. 



The Economy Jar is 

 the only jar in the world 

 that uses no rubber ring. 

 All rubber ring jars are 

 a thing of the past. 



The public has decreed 

 that rubber rings are un- 

 sanitary. They decay 

 and let in air which 

 causes contents to mould 

 and spoil. Pure food 

 commissioners have de- 

 nounced zinc caps as un- 

 healthy and dangerous 

 to use for home canning. 



The Economy Jar uses no zinc 

 cap, no uneven leaky glass top, no 

 rubber ring. It seals airtight, as no 

 other jar has ever been sealed, by 

 means of a gold enameled cap which 

 has a patent airtight sanitary 

 composition gasket." It . 

 seals itself by air press 

 ure and is strongly 

 endorsed by all 

 health authori- 

 ties.

Read What a Domestic Science Authority says of the Economy Jar 

 / firmly believe thai every housekeeper will use Economy 

 , / Jars to the exclusion of all glass top and zinc screw top 

 / rubber ringiars as soon as she tries Economy Jars for home 

 canning. I always recommend the Economy because it is the 

 ./ only Jar ever invented in which one can put up every fruit, 

 vegetable, meat and fish — without fear of a single jar moulding 

 or spoiling. It is truly a most wonderful invention — so simple — so 

 handy — so surely sealed — so hygienic — so saving in work and 

 money too — / am keen to recommend and advise their use — always. 

 — Miss I. M. Lindsley, Late Domestic Scientist, of Oregon State Schools. 







AMES 



Cultivator and Seeder 



Is a Perfect Implement for the Small Garden 



€[[ It has every part necessary for all kinds of hill and drill seed- 

 ing and for both straddle and between the row cultivating and 

 may be used with one or two wheels. It makes gardening a 

 pleasure for man, woman or child, saves arduous labor and 

 gives the best results. 



4J For the family which has a small home in the country or in 

 the suburbs it is the ideal outfit. Its parts are easily adjusted and 

 the construction is the strongest. Adjusting three bolts changes 

 it from seeder to cultivator. A child can use it.

 facility in all kinds of soils in every part of the country.
