Suggestions. 
Care should be taken to keep back- 
grounds plain to avoid confusion in pic- 
ture. Figures of persons, garden utensils, 
and all objects liable to cause detriment 
to the picture or its object should be care- 
fully kept out. The photographs must be 
mounted singly on cards with white backs 
and must not be less than five inches by 
four inches. 
Instructions. 
The photographs may be of objects in 
the possession of either the sender or 
others; but there must be no question as 
to the right of photographing or using 
them. There is no limit as to number, 
and the publisher shall have the right of 
engraving and publishing any of the 
chosen photographs. They may be 
printed on any good paper that shows the 
subjects clearly, and that will make good 
half tones. 
The name and address of the sender, 
together with the name and description of 
the objects shown, should be plainly writ- 
ten on the back of each photograph. 
All communications relating to the com- 
petition must be addressed to R. J. 
Haight, 334 Dearborn Street, Chicago, 
and the class for which the photographs 
are intended should be marked on the 
parcel, which must also be labelled 
“Photographic Competition.”

DON’T SPOIL THE TIRF! 
Managers of Cemeteries and Parks know how difficult it is to produce a nice, even, 
firm turf and should guard against its being broken from any cause. He 
leavy hauling for the 
erection of monuments, the removal of earth, grass, etc., and the trans- 
planting of trees, etc., is at times necessary. The ordinary wagon will cut 
in, “rut” and ruin tlie turf, A wagon equipped with tlie broad-tired 
WILL NOT 
DO THIS.

ELECTRIC STEEL WHEELS 
These wlieels are made with either direct or stagger oval steel spokes j 
and we have such a variety of sizes that we can fix any wagon. We make I 
them in all heights, from 
20-in. to 60-in. They all 
have wide-faced tires, 
^ ranging In width from 2 
I in. to 8 in. , as ordered. They can be slipped 
! right onto the wagon already in use and 
immediately convert it into an ideal park 
and cemetery dray. They bring the wagon 
down where it is easy to load. A still better 
plan would be to use one of our 
ELECTRIC HANDY WAGONS 
for this purpose. They are fitted with the above wheels either stagger or direct spokes. 
Best seasoned white hickory axles. All other wood parts of seasoned white oak. Front and 
rear hounds made of steel— neater, better and stronger than wood. Guaranteed to carry 
4000 lbs. anywhere. Catalogue fully describing these wheels and wagons sent free on request.
