. . THE IMPROVED . . 

 GRIMM SAP SPOUT AND COVER 



Patented U:'S. May 26, l'»03 ; July 19, 19(14; December 20 1904; Canada: May 12, 1903; August 2, 1904. ^''^^ 



THE GEIMM COVERS are made of Galvanized Iron, in two sizes:— 12 inches x 12 inches 

 at $6.00 per 100, and 14 inches x 14 inches at .$7.00 per 100. They can be used only with 

 the Grimm apouts and th.e buckets must be hung on the hook. The cover is hinged on a de- 

 tachable wire which passes through the holes in the spout. When raised for the purpose of 

 emptying the bucket, the cover is held in an upright position by the lug on top of the spout. 



No. 4 Spouts $2.75 per Hundred, including Hooks ; or S2.50 per Hundred -without Hooks. 

 With No. 4 Spouts use a 7-16 Tapping Bit and a 1-2 inch Reamer. 



THE GEIMM SAP-f;POTJT is the only spout to which a cover can be securely attached; 

 it requires no rossing of the bark; it is perfectly round, hence no loss from leakage and any 

 boy can drive it; it starts earlier in the morning and runs later at night than other spouts: 

 is easily removed without tearing the bark and thus protects the tree from injury. Can be 

 used Tidth %-inch, 7-16-inch, i/o-inch or 9-16-inch bore. Plold any cast-iron spout up to the 

 light and examine the inside, and you will find numerous black spots (even in new spouts) 

 which will be coated with rust at the end of the first season. Galvanized iron is unfit for use 

 in sap-spouts, sap pails, or evaporator-pans, just as it is unfit for use in mili-pans and cook- 

 ing utensils. The Grimm Sap Spout is formed or pressed from a single piece of sheet steel and 

 coated vnth a white metal which will neither rust nor injure the sap cr the tree. 



The lug on the iipper side of spout is formed from three thicknesses of steel, the outer 

 one being folded over the central part and giving ample strength for driving. The small 

 round boss shown on No. 4, locks the hook to the spout, preventing it from dropping ofE but 

 permitting it to swivel. The cover, when raised, requires a slight pressure with the hand at 

 the back edge just over the spout to lock it in an upright position. A large wire nail or 

 spike is used to remove the spout from the bore, the spike being passed through the holes 

 in the spout and turned right and left. In this manner the spout is removed without bruising 

 or tearing the bark and "^he wound will heal over the first season. Compare results with the 

 Grimm spout and any cast-iron spout at the close of the summer and you will decide to pro- 

 tect yoiu- maples bv discarding all old style spouts and using only the Grimm. 



THE GRIMM SAP-SPOUT when used with bit and reamer, according to directions,^ is 

 guaranteed to produce one-fourth more sap than any other spout on the marlcet, thus paying 

 for itself twice over the first season in the increased product of the camp. It will do the 

 same thing each succeeding;- season for a life time. If the sugar-maker decs net find the 

 Grimm Sap-Spouts as represented, he may return them at the close of the first season and 

 the purchase money -will be refunded. 



3-8 and 7-16 inch Bit, 25 Cents each. 



7-15 and 1-2 inch Reamer, 50 Cents each.

THE GRIMM SAP BUCKET 



THIS is an honest bucket in size, material 

 and workmanship. The body has only one seam 

 and a galvanized steel wire which will not rust, 

 is used around its top. Money will not buy 

 better tin than is used in the construction of the 

 GEIMM BUCKET. It holds full thirteen quarts 

 Owing to its shape it hangs close to the tree 

 and takes a 12 x 12 cover. Its bottom is double 

 seamed and is slightly couvexed to prevent slip- 

 ping when placed on snow or ice. There is no 

 other make of bucket like it; none so good as 

 to material, workmanship and shape. A large 

 bead near the top prevents the buckets from 

 sticking when they are nested. The seams are 

 soldered inside and outside. They cost only a 

 little more than ordinary I C Charcoal tin 

 buckets and are cheaper in the end than Coke 

 tin buckets. Galvanized buckets should not be 

 used as they poison the sap. Thej^ are no more 

 fit for the purpose than galvanized cups and 

 sauce-pans would be in your kitchen for cooking. 



Price, per hundred, $24.00.
