TILLEY'S IMPROVED 



This is without doubt th 

 strongest step ladder of its 

 weight on the market. 



There is an iron knee and 

 brace under the ends of each 

 step, which passes down 

 through the step and out 

 through the side piece and is 

 riveted at each end, thereby 

 forming both tie and brace; 

 also has extra iron braces 

 under the bottom step. The 

 back legs fold over the sides 

 or front part, as shown in 

 cuts, occupying but little 

 space. 



Particularly adapted for 

 paper hanging, decorating, or 

 when a light, strong step lad- 

 der is required. 



Sizes, 4 to 12 teet.

M£SHERER. COMBINED STEP 

 AND EXTENSION LADDER. 



CAX be almost instantly changed to any height up to nearly 

 twice its closed length, the rungs always being exactly oppo- 

 site each other in the lapped portion, no matter what the 

 amount of extension; or by swinging the bottoms apart, a reli- 

 able and convenient step ladder is obtained. They can also be 

 extended or closed, and for any use that a step ladder can be 

 used are very desirable. All ladders over 24 feet in length are 

 made in two long sections, with flared bottom, adding to the 

 rigidity and reducing the slipping at bottom to a minimum. This 

 ladder will come apart and each section can be used separately. 

 This style can. of course, be extended or closed, but does not 

 swing apart, forming a step ladder, as does the other style. 



We use Norway pine for sides; rock elm. or second-growth 

 white hickory for rungs; the very best grade of malleable iron 

 castings for metal parts. 



PRICE LIST, 



In ordering, bear in mind that a certain 

 amount has to be allowed for the ' lap " when 

 the ladder is in its most extended form, the 

 amount of necessity increasing as the ladders 

 increase in length, in order to obtain perfect 

 safety and firmness. In lengths of 12 to 18 feet 

 deduct one foot for lap— that is, a 12-foot lad- 

 der would be 6 feet high when closed or would 

 form a 6-foot step ladder, but would be only 11 

 feet long when extended. In lengths of 20 to 

 32 feet deduct two feet, and from 34 to 40 de- 

 duct tnree feet from the total length in same 

 manner.

Bent Rung, Step, Extension and Single Ladders, 



A 18-foot Single Ladder weighs only 21 to 25 pounds. By draw- 

 ing out a Small rod at top of step ladder it can be converted 

 into two separate ladders. These goods are made nearly 

 altogether by hand, and are very much superior to factory lad- 

 ders. No holes are bored in the side pieces, thus making them 

 the strongest and lightest ladders made. The rungs are made of 

 toughest hickory. A slight groove in the side pieces, in which the 

 rungs are set, acts as a brace and aids to stiffen the ladder.
