THE SUGAR MAKER’S FI3IEND. 
Twenty-five pep 
cent more Sugar 
every year, ana a 
better quality, from 
POST’S EUREKA 
SAP SPOUTS, 
than from any others, 
is the verdict of over 20,000 Maple Sugar 
Makers that use them. 
t&~ Tl> ir perfect working with the 
•utmost satisfaction is guaranteed. Only 
" a trial is needed to convince one of their 
superiority over all others. If every Sugar Maker, 
not having tested them, will but tap half ids sugar 
bush with the Eureka, the coming Sugar Season, 
a fun supply the following season will be the result. 
If there is not an agent in your town, pet a good responsible 
Hardware or other dealer, to order a supply at over, and not 
delay it until the season for tapping is upon you. Better 
have them two months in advance than a day ton late. I 
will send von Samples and Descriptive Circnlars
