  TO 
  know 
  them 
  is 
  to 
  love 
  them 
  ; 
  to 
  

   know 
  them 
  well 
  is 
  to 
  love 
  them 
  

   clearly. 
  They 
  are 
  not 
  for 
  a 
  few 
  

   months 
  of 
  a 
  single 
  season 
  only 
  ; 
  but, 
  like 
  

   the 
  good 
  friend 
  and 
  true, 
  they 
  remain 
  

   for 
  all 
  time 
  with 
  those 
  who 
  love 
  them, 
  

   revealing 
  their 
  sweetness 
  and 
  increased 
  

   beauty 
  as 
  the 
  years 
  pass 
  by. 
  These 
  

   hardy 
  flowers 
  flourish 
  in 
  almost 
  every 
  

   soil, 
  need 
  but 
  little 
  care, 
  and 
  require 
  no 
  

   special 
  knowledge 
  to 
  succeed 
  with 
  them.

  have

  is 
  still 
  365 
  days 
  ahead 
  of 
  them 
  

   all. 
  It 
  makes 
  more 
  sizes 
  and 
  larger 
  variety 
  

   of 
  blocks 
  than 
  any 
  other 
  machine. 
  It 
  makes 
  

   two

  of 
  the 
  same 
  size 
  and 
  design, 
  or 
  

   of 
  different 
  sizes 
  and 
  designs, 
  on 
  the 
  one 
  

   machine 
  at 
  the 
  same 
  time. 
  It 
  is 
  the 
  sim- 
  

   plest 
  machine 
  in 
  the 
  world 
  — 
  no 
  pins, 
  cogs, 
  

   chains, 
  springs 
  or 
  levers. 
  In 
  strength, 
  dura- 
  

   bility 
  and 
  adaptability 
  it 
  leaves 
  all 
  others 
  

   far 
  behind.
