who wants to play Cave-man? 
If you have a garden just for the sake of the ex¬ 
ercise you get out of it, this won't interest you. 
But if it's results you're after—if you want 
better flowers and better crops with less labor, 
then consider— 
Most of the garden tools now being used by 
home gardeners are about as out-of-date as 
the plows made of deer antlers and the spades 
made from great animals' shoulder blad es 
which the cavemen used. 
You may not have noticed it—but garden 
tool design has moved ahead almost unbe¬ 
lievably in the last decade. Some of our re¬ 
cently developed garden tools let you do as 
much in one hour as you formerly did in five! 
Others make play out of jobs that have always 
been back-breakers. Hoeing, cultivating, 
weeding have been streamlined and speeded 
up amazingly. 
The next time you get into your tool shed, or 
garage, or wherever you keep your garden 
tools, look them over! Try to remember how 
long it has been since you first brought them 
home. And then—if you want a real thrill— 
come into our store and see what the modern 
tool designers have done tor you. 
When v/e say we can cut your "hard labor" 
time in half, we're being conservative. Ask 
us to prove it!
