“ The Sleighs I built with your Knees are the cheapest and 
most durable I ever built. When they are put together, 
they are halt' Ironed. A man with half a head and but few 
tools can build his own Sleighs.” 
H. W. HUBBARD, East Springport, Michigan. 
“ We have used your Knees in the manufacture of our 
sleighs for the past 3 years, and have found them to be a de¬ 
cided success in every particular.” 
SAUNDERS & BARRETT, Oneida, N. T. 
“ Your Iron Sleigh Knees are an excellent thing. We have 
used them on our rough roads with very heavy loads, and 
they have stood the test. They are a Godsend to Farmers 
living away from opportunities, and compelled to build then- 
own sleighs.” F. G. FINCKE, Bellasylva, Pa. 
“ I warrant my Bob-sleighs made with your Knees to carry 
anv Saw-log, or a load that a Team of Horses can draw.”
