For four years Higley 's pruners have undergone the most severe tests and have 

 abundantly demonstrated the fact that while they are not designed to cut down 

 trees, they are of the greatest assistance to foresters and others in getting rid of 

 the brown-tail moths and other pests which ruin our fruit trees and forests. 



Our No. 1, or Self -Holding Pruner, is the only one of the kind in the world, and 

 we are already receiving calls from Australia and many countries in Europe. 

 That such a pruner has long been wanted goes without saying, and the many 

 endorsements which we can furnish speak volumes for them. 



The cut made by these pruners is a clean one, and allows the wound to heal 

 readily and quickly. The limb or moth nest need never be lost among the foliage, 

 but can be deposited in a pile or basket beneath the tree, one man doing the work 

 of two with other pruners. For cutting flowers, trimming hedges, blackberry 

 bushes and other ornamental shrubs, these pruners are unequaled.
