THOSE TROUBLESOME SKATES NO MORE I 
EVERY BOY, almost every Man, especially a 
heavy one, Icuows the trouble of keeping Skate 
Straps tight enough, without stopping fi-eo circu¬ 
lation of the blood in the feet to keep them warm. 
The heel would slip oft’ In spite of yon, even 
.when you carried round a heavy metal plate fixed 
on its bottom. All such troubles are avoided in 
the N. Y. Club Skate. You clap it on the sole, 
tiu'u the double-working screw, and the front is 
fast. With the same key turn another screw 
behind, and three flanged Clamps firmly gi-asp the 
boot heel In its front and on both sides of the 
rear. The whole is done in a moment, .and away 
you go, — with the skates Immovably fixed on the 
solos, and the feet wann by the freely circulating 
blood. These fine Skates have excellent Steel 
Runners and strong Frames. Send five sub¬ 
scribers to the AMUR. Garden at $l each (it is 
worth $10 a year to anybody), and wo wlU PM- 
SENT you witli a Puir of tlioso Si>loii(lid Skates 
and deliver them carriage paid. For nine sub¬ 
scribers we win give you two pairs. 
Ij- B,_Send a paper, out just the size of your 
boot sole, and we wiU select the right size skates.
