Give the Boy 

 a Chance ! 



He is just "itching" for that healthful, in- 

 vigorating exercise that his young muscles 

 will get when pushing a "Barker ! " Besides, 

 the " Barker " will help and encourage him 

 — make garden work fun all summer 

 long. And with it he can do better work — 

 and more of it — than ten men can do with 

 the old-fashioned tools. 



THE BARKER 



Weeder, Mulcher and Cultivator 



destroys the weeds and breaks the surface 

 crust into a moisture-retaining mulch in one 

 operation. Intensive cultivation. Wheel 

 blades, revolving against the stationary 

 knife, uproot and chop the weeds and form 

 the necessary soil mulch. "Best Weed Killer 

 Ever Used." Works up close to the plants. 

 Cuts runners. Has leaf guards, also easily 

 attached shovels for deeper cultivation. 



A io-year-old boy can operate it. He can 

 do better work with it than two men with 

 wheel hoes — and we can prove it!
