  the

  the 
  rare, 
  must

  get 
  the 
  most 
  choice 
  in 
  bronze, 
  

   tapestries,

  To

  a 
  value

  a 
  

   piece 
  of 
  furniture 
  that 
  is 
  me?sured 
  by 
  its 
  beauty, 
  oddity, 
  handi- 
  

   craft, 
  taste 
  and 
  artistic 
  feeling

  not 
  simply

  THE 
  HERCULES

  Concrete 
  Buildings 
  

  

  We 
  make 
  the 
  Hercules 
  Concrete 
  Block 
  Machine 
  in 
  Two 
  Sizes 
  

  

  The 
  Hercules 
  

   Regular 
  

  

  will 
  make 
  blocks 
  from 
  two 
  

  

  inches 
  up 
  to 
  six 
  feet. 
  It 
  will 
  

  

  make 
  WATER 
  TABLES, 
  

  

  STEPS, 
  WINDOW 
  SILLS, 
  LINTELS, 
  etc., 
  and 
  make 
  them 
  

  

  as 
  they 
  should 
  be 
  made 
  — 
  as 
  solid 
  as 
  the 
  Rock 
  of 
  Gibraltar. 
  

  

  The 
  Hercules 
  

   Special 
  

  

  is 
  a 
  smaller 
  machine 
  than 
  the 
  Her- 
  

   cules 
  Regular, 
  but 
  it 
  is 
  built 
  exactly 
  

   on 
  the 
  same 
  lines, 
  and 
  its 
  mechanical 
  

   action 
  is 
  identical 
  with 
  the 
  large 
  

   machine. 
  The 
  Hercules 
  Special 
  will 
  

   wade 
  on 
  the 
  hercules 
  make 
  just 
  as 
  good 
  blocks— 
  just 
  as 
  

  

  handsome 
  blocks 
  — 
  as 
  the 
  Hercules 
  Regular, 
  but 
  it 
  will 
  not 
  make 
  

  

  as 
  large 
  a 
  block 
  — 
  that's 
  the 
  only 
  difference. 
  The 
  Hercules 
  Special, 
  

  

  with 
  complete 
  outfit 
  for 
  building 
  houses, 
  manufacturing 
  establishments, 
  

  

  or 
  any 
  buildings, 
  costs 
  but 
  $120. 
  The 
  

  

  Hercules 
  machines 
  are 
  making 
  blocks 
  that 
  are 
  

  

  going 
  into 
  the 
  finest 
  concrete 
  buildings 
  in 
  the 
  

  

  world.
