THE ISBELL MOLE-TRAP. 



IT NEVER FAILS. 



Having been thoroughly convinced ot 

 the pressing need ot some device for 

 catching and destroying the, under-ground 

 mole which is overrunning cemeteries, 

 parks, lawns, and gardens, no tabor, ex- 

 periment, or expense lias been spared in 

 inventing and perfecting a trap which we 

 do not hesitate to say will effectually meet 



It is acknow ledged bv all who have given 

 it a trial as the best device ever invented 



skill is required in setting it. 



Nothing but a small wooden pin is visi- 

 ble in the track, which the mole is sure 

 to run against, the slightest touch spring 

 ing the trap, which never fails to catch 

 and kill the mole.
