IMPORTED EUROPEAN SCYTHES 
Made of finest magnetic steel on the principle of a razor. 
Blade very thin, back strong. Can be sharpened to such a 
keen edge that one can almost shave with it. Unbeatable in 
mowing grass, grain or clover. Usually sharpened by ham¬ 
mering, which sharpens and hardens the edge. Those not 
knowing how to use the hammer should sharpen the blade on 
a grindstone. Not strong enough for mowing tough, big 
weeds or brush. Special prices, in quantities, for parks and 
cemeteries. AH our scythes fit the American or any other 
kind of handle.

EUROPEAN SCYTHE RING 
Single Screw Ring.30c Double Screw Ring.35c 
Our imported Scythes are hand ma.de by the mountaineers of 
Styria in Europe. Scythes, also swords, were made in that part of 
Europe for centuries. The makers have centuries long experience. 
The steel used is high grade Styrian magnetic steel and scythes as 
good, cannot be made on this side and sell for moderate prices. 
Scythe manufacturers in America tried it and gave up. Prices being 
high, on account of high duties, will not sell in America. American 
goods will not sell in Austria as they would if Austrians could sell 
their excellent scythes here. Both sides are losing. 
GOOD BUSINESS AHEAD 
with slight changes in the present system. The present system. 
What Is It? One prey on another. I cheat you and you cheat me— 
if you can get by with it. A fine system. No? Is there a better 
system? There is! 
All that is needed to make the present system a human system Is 
to place personal character above money and to adopt a few other 
slight changes. 
That done, everyone would try to outdo the other in honesty, 
learning, agreeable manners and dollars would become the second 
fiddle. 
Honest people would rule and the crooks would be made to work. 
We are not condemning the capitalistic system. Under It, mankind 
made an immense progress. The system forced the people to exert 
themselves to the utmost. That does not work any more, we all 
can see that. 
We have too much of everything, yet millions are unable to make 
a bare living. That a change is needed we all know. Very few do 
know how easy it is to make a few slight changes to bring about 
prosperity for all. 
A man, a great man wrote a book in which he explains how, by 
adopting a few slight changes in the present economic system ALU 
of us would benefit immensely. His book tells the truth. Your daily 
papers will not tell you the truth. You should, you MUST know 
the truth. Here Is your chance to learn the TRUTH and the facts 
as to why the depression is on and how to almost instantly, sweep 
the depression out of the way. Read W. H. Harvey’s “The Book” a 
book of 224 pages costing only 25 cents, postpaid, which you can get 
from Mundus Publishing Co., Monte Ne, Arkansas, or from us. 
Real Steel in Our Scythes 
It is just 17 years since I ordered three of your scythes which 
are still in use and in A-l condition. The scythe I am now ordering 
is for one of my neighbors. J. Konop, Maribel, Wis. 
AXLIGATOR SICKLE 
Alligator sickle has a toothed edge, is very 
sharp, and is an exceedingly useful tool. It will 
cut grass, corn stalks, and brush, with very slight 
exertion. It can be used in cutting woody stalks 
up to two inches in diameter. Much safer to use 
than a corn knife. Persons using regular corn 
knife frequently cut themselves. This is almost 
impossible when using Alligator Sickle. To sharp¬ 
en, use emery stone or a file and sharpen the 
tool on the reverse edge. Price each, 75c; $7.80 
per dozen, prepaid. 
Anvil 
Hammer 
HAMMERS AND ANVILS 
Hammering draws out and hardens the 
edge of the scythe and the scythe stays 
sharp for a much longer time than it would 
if it was sharpened by the whetstone alone. 
Price: Hammer 85c; Anvil 85c, prepaid.
