This new Porter tool is, we believe, the first perfect all-purpose 
pruner ever developed. It is equally satisfactory for light or heavy 
work. The blades are so designed that suckers are cut ON THE 
POINT with minimum handle opening. To cut tough branches up to 
1% inches in diameter, a 50 per cent to 100 per cent increase in 
power is instantly available in the patented shift. 
Light in 
weight. Handy 
in size. Easy 
to use in close & 
places. Strong, 
rugged con- 
struction. Will 
do the work 
of an ordinary 
30-inch tool—do it easier, better and quicker.

ift at all. ¢
