TET 
The New Quick 
and Easy Way of Using 
Insecticides and Fungicides 
in Cartridge Powder Form 
When the World War affected the food supply of this 
country there was a great impetus given to the Home 
and Small Garden, and it was very promptly noted that 
no adequate means in a convenient form was available 
for the easy handling of Insecticides and Fungicides. So, 
after two and a half years of consistent work the Key 
Duster Gun was born, which adequately supplies, in a 
convenient form without handling or mixing the chem- 
icals and without the use of water. 
Simply pull out the handle, unscrew the barrel, 
insert the cartridge, rescrew the barrel, and the gun is 
ready to begin operation. The gun automatically opens 
the cartridge and applies the material to the foliage. 
Price of gun, complete, $3.00. Complete directions for 
applying the material for the various fruits and vege- 
tables packed with each gun.
