Abingdon, Va.: 
“T have never had anything so small that has been more useful. I keep 
my hoe on the back porch all the time. I am afraid to put it with my other 
tools. My mother said she didn’t see why I didn’t sleep with it. I would not 
take ten times the price of it and do without this hoe.”—A.C. 
Terre Haute, Ind.: 
““My hoe is wonderful. The first time in my life I ever hoed and came in 
without a backache. I certainly wouldn’t want to do without mine now, as 
I never have to stoop to pull a weed from around my plants.’”’—Mrs. L.L.R.

We have never sold tools but we can’t resist offering this one manufactured of the 
finest materials right here in Faribault. We have used it for years in our own gardens, 
and it is positively the finest, easiest to use tool we have ever seen. Without stooping 
you get in between, around, alongside your MUM plants. The hoe goes where you 
It 1s sharp—cuts 
easily. Pick off one weed or a lot of 
them. Very light. Something you 
ladies will appreciate—your hus- 
bands will, too. 
“T have quite a collection of hoes and the All-Purpose Hoe is my favorite.” 
—Mrs. J.H.D. 
Hadlev, Mass.: 
“Everyone is enthusiastic about this hoe after trying it once—even the 
field hands who looked upon it very skeptically at first, 
keeping one handy for my own use!’”’—Mrs. E.A
