 of it! With each complete movement of your hands you 

 actually save seventeen blistering tiresome "snips" or 

 "whacks" the old hedge shear way.

 pruning.

 automatically; for, besides SIMPLICITY'S two-pound 

 weight and twelve-ineh width, it has 19 big, safe, keen 

 teeth, cutting cleanly both when opening and closing.

 vance of the present day Pruner or Lopping Shears.

 shrubbery with the old-fashioned pruner or lopping shears, 

 there is no need to point out the revolution that came with 

 this great invention. The SIMPLICITY PRUNER or 

 LOPPING TRIMMER. 



With the SIMPLICITY you can actually do as much 

 work in one hour as you formerly did in four hours with the
