Every home, however humble or magnificent, is more 
beautiful if adorned with brackets and other work pro¬ 
duced by home hands. Hundreds of thousands of sflfch 
homes now exist, where only the slow and tedious hand- 
frame fret saws have been available. More recently the 
foot-pedal and multiplying wheels have come into use, and 
the increasing demand lias tended to cheapness and im¬ 
provement. We are now happy to announce another 
LARGE ADVANCE in 
Perfection, Cheapness, and Portability, 
by whicli are secured stronger, better working machines; a 
material reduction in price, and a great saving in cost of 
carriage or delivery, as well as in storage room when not in 
nse, witli sundry other improvements and advantages.—All 
the above are secured in this new saw.
