We specially request all users of Band Saws to send us their address in full, and also a description of the sizes of saws used, and we will, by return mail, quote them special prices, and also send them our pamphlet on the Band Saw, which contains much valuable information for all users of Band Saws.

The Superior Quality of our Band Saws, All Tempered, Straightened, and Trued at one operation, which we have patented, makes them so perfect that our =SALES HAVE MORE THAN TREBLED IN THE PAST YEAR=. Our largest and best customers prefer them to the best imported saws.

☞=WRITE FOR OUR CIRCULAR AND REDUCED PRICE LISTS.=☜

=NATURAL GAS=

Is perfectly free from all impurities, and steel heated by its use does not scale. It contains no sulphur or other base substances. We are the first to adopt its use in heating saws for tempering, which explains the cause of our saws being tougher than any others now made.
