WM. ELLIOTT & SONS, NEW YORK 
MOIiK TRAP, THR IMPROVED ISBEIil. 
It is acknowledged by all who have given it a trial as the 
host trap aver invented for catching and destroying the 
underground mole. When properly set, it never allows 
file mole to escape, and no skill is required in setting it. 
The “ Improved ” Isbell Mole Trap is made of the best an¬ 
nealed iron, so that it will wear for years and never shat¬ 
ter, .as other inolo traps do, they being made of common 
cheap east-iron. 
We have not the space, neither is it necessary, to print 
the hundreds of testimonials which we have received from 
all parts regarding this trap. 
Directions for Setting : Brush the dirt off the top 
of the mole track, then stick the two main prongs into the 
ground astride of it, so that the wooden pin will be about 
1% inches from the bottom of the run. Then brush the 
dirt back again in its original position (as near as possible), 
pull up the handle at the top and adjust the catch. $2.00.
