"We have offered for several years the very best Mole Traps that ingenuity could devise, for the 

 destruction of the little pests which play such havoc in the garden, and have sold hundreds of 

 various traps which have proven more or. less effective. But the great need of a perfect mole 

 tra;> lias brought out many improvements, and the one we now offer, we believe to be the best 

 and most complete Mole Trap ever invented, and is superior to all others in the following 

 respects : 



Owing to the arrangements for holding the spring, it is easier to set than any other trap, and 

 cannot '" startle" or injure the operator while being set. 



The construction of the trap is such that it will catch moles when quite deep in the ground 

 and there being no pin or other obstruction projecting into the run, there is nothing to frighten 

 or disturb the mole as it passes, and in doing so raises the ground over the "run "(whirl, 

 always sinks somewhat) just enough to spring the trigger, which must firmly rest on the soil 

 over the " run.'' 



The points of the pin being constantly in the ground, it cannot catch or injure chickens or 

 other domestic animals. 



Cannot be blown over, or injured in any way by rain or storm, and being made entirely of 

 metal, cannot warp, twist, or get out of order, and is light, neat and durable. 



The ground not being disturbed in any manner, it can be set close to plants without injuring 

 them, and it can also bo set touching a wall, fence, etc., without impairing the working of the 

 trap in any way. 



WHERE TO SET THE TRAP. 



There are many tracks through which a mole passes but once, and, of course, it is useless to 

 place the trap over such a run. To find a run which is frequently used, depress the ridges for 

 a short distance in several parts of the lawn. As moles pass through some runs at regul.r 

 intervals, say about 12 o'clock M., and again at 6 P. M., it is an easy matter to tell which 

 " runs " are used, by examining the depressions and noting those that have been raised. 



Full directions for setting sent with each trap.
