CTKis uear i)ou can give t)our lawn 
better care at less cost 
A LL those who have large lawns 
to care for know only too well 
how difficult such care has 
been during the past two years. 
Many fine lawns have been badly 
neglected because it has been next to 
impossible to get the necessary help. 
This year you can give your lawn 
the attention it requires and have 
the work done better and at less 
cost than was ever possible with 
hand mowers. The Ideal Power 
Lawn Mower will solve your grass- 
cutting problems just the'same as it 
has for hundreds of others. 
Advantages of the Ideal 
The Ideal is a power mower and 
roller in one and the sod is rolled 
every time the grass is cut. This 
keeps it smooth, firm and free from 
bumps. The Ideal is scientifically 
designed to keep lawns in fine con¬ 
dition. The weight is just right for 
steady year around work. 
The Mower has a thirty-inch cut 
and one man can easily mow four 
or five acres of grass per day at an 
operating expense of about fifty 
cents for fuel and oil. 
Cuts Close to Walks, Trees 
and Shrubbery 
Machine turns easily and will cut 
close up to walks, trees, flower beds, 
and shrubbery. 
When running over walks, drive¬ 
ways, pavements, etc., the operator 
simply lifts the cutting mower from 
the ground by means of a conveni¬ 
ently placed lever. This feature is 
also important in the early spring 
when it is desired to use the machine 
for rolling only. Simply lift up the 
cutting mower, and more weight if 
required and you have the most con¬ 
venient power roller imaginable. 
The success of the Ideal is due to 
its sturdy and powerful, yet simple 
construction. No clutches or com¬ 
plicated parts to wear and get out 
of order. The motor is built in our 
own shop and designed especially 
for the work. 
Owners of large estates, public 
parks, golf clubs, country clubs, 
cemeteries, etc., are all using the 
Ideal Power Lawn Mower with 
great success. 
Special Cutting Mower for 
Putting Greens 
For work on golf courses we furn¬ 
ish, at slight additional cost, a special 
set of cutting blades for use on the 
putting greens. In less than five 
minutes the regular 30" blade can be 
substituted for cutting the fairway. 
When desired, we also furnish, as 
an extra, a riding trailer which 
fastens to the frame and permits the 
operator to ride and at the same 
time have the same easy control as 
when walking. 
You can secure the Ideal through 
your dealer direct or from our fac¬ 
tory. Write today for catalogue and 
further details.

Taking the Kitchen Along 
(Continued from page 62) 
The nest for eight includes: three 
cooking pots, one E cooking pot, one 
large coffee pot, two frying pans, eight 
dessert and eight teaspoons. It is only 
11” x 12%" nested, and weighs 1834 
pounds. It can be attached in canvas 
case to rear or side of running board 
racks, or carried in the car. 
If aluminum is too expensive, there 
is always the very same kit in steel, 
heavier, of course, but just as compact 
in size. All are seamless and best quality. 
There are also pocket kits which 
weigh about 31 ounces and measure 
2" x 3%" x 8 y 2 " and include a folding 
broiler, racks which thrust into the 
ground, two frying pans with detach¬ 
able handles and which when fitted to¬ 
gether make a perfect roaster. All fold 
neatly together and there is room for 
knives, forks, etc. 
If this list of accessible accessories 
does not fire your desire to take to the 
open road this summer, nothing will.

Collecting Russian Candlesticks 
(Continued from page 34) 
in silver have been made since 18S0 
at the large brass factories of War¬ 
saw and Vienna. In most cases they 
have followed the designs of the old 
silver types. These silver-plated ex¬ 
amples come in about a dozen designs, 
and generally four sizes in height, from 
10" to 14", although one or two de¬ 
signs run as high as 16" or 18". While 
these candlesticks have also been brought 
to us by the Russian Jewish families, 
they have not so much the antiquity or 
quality of the heavy brass ones that 
recommend them to a collector. Still, 
they do nicely for decorations and they 
can be easily found in pairs or four of 
the same kind. Four candlesticks of 
this kind with a vase of flowers in the 
center, as shown in the illustration, 
make a charming decoration for a 
mantel. 
The Hannukah (sometimes spelled 
Chanuca) brass lights, as illustrated, 
have eight basins for oil or eight bowls 
for candles and two side lights for 
service, except the very ancient ones, 
which have one light only for service. 
They are patterned somewhat after the 
large Chanuca light of the synagogue 
which is often 4' to S' high with eight 
branches and one light on the side for 
service. These small types are used in 
the home for the service of prayer dur¬ 
ing the Jewish yearly movable Feast of 
Illuminations, which lasts for eight days. 
One candle, besides the service candle 
or “schamus”, is lighted on the first
