liTe World Has Been Ransacked 



Out-of-the-way places in the Orient and Europe have given 

 up their treasures. 



John S. Bradstreet & Co. have them, and they are now in 

 the Craftshouse in Minneapolis. 



It is to this place that the lover of the unusual, the uniquely 

 decorative, the rare, must turn to get the most choice in bronze, 

 tapestries, lacquer work, etc., because they are obtainable in no 

 other place. 



To be known as a "Bradstreet piece " gives a value to a 

 piece of furniture that is me?sured by its beauty, oddity, handi- 

 craft, taste and artistic feeling — not simply by its commercial 

 conception. 



Write for our brochure and let us further explain how we 

 can fill your decorative needs.

THE HERCULES REGULAR 



Concrete Buildings 



We make the Hercules Concrete Block Machine in Two Sizes 



The Hercules 

 Regular 



will make blocks from two 

 inches up to six feet. It will 

 make WATER TABLES. 

 STEPS, WINDOW SILLS, LINTELS, etc.. and make them 

 as they should be made — as solid as the Rock of Gibraltar. 



The Hercules 

 Special 



is a smaller machine than the Her- 

 cules Regular, but it is built exactly 

 on the same lines, and its mechanical 

 action is identical with the large 

 machine. The Hercules Special will 

 make just as good blocks— just as 

 handsome blocks — as the Hercules Regular, but it will not make 

 as large a block — that's the only difference. The Hercules Special, 

 with complete outfit for building houses, manufacturing establishments, 

 or any buildings, costs but $120. The 

 Hercules machines are making blocks that are 

 going into the finest concrete buildings in the 

 world. We will be glad to send our catalog 

 to any reader of this paper upon request.
