“1880” Holly Scroll Saw. The Bracket Saw, like the Sewing Machine, has become almost a household necessity. We have made arrangements with the Manufacturer of the “1880” Holly Scroll Saw, which enable us to offer it as a Premium. From personal attention, and abundant testimony from others, we are warranted in commending this very highly, and It is one of the most valuable premiums that we have to offer for so small a cost. The manufacturer claims to have been the first to Introduce cheap foot-power Saws to the trade; he makes this a specialty. The points of superiority of the "1880" Holly Scroll Saw are: A Saw Clamp which holds saw-blades perfectly rigid, enabling the operator to follow lines closely, and do fine work with great facility; it also prevents the saw-blade from running under when sawing thick stuff. A Straining Rod with Adjusting Screw, so that long, short, or broken saw-blades can be used. A ground and polished nickel-plated Table, which adds to the beauty of the machine, and on it the work can be readily moved around. A solid Emery Wheel, 3½” diameter by ¾” face—this also makes a first-rate family Grind-stone, being always ready, and, as it runs with great speed, it grinds and polishes rapidly. A 20-Inch swing allowing the sawing of a 40 inch circle, claimed to be the largest that can be done by any amateur saw ever made. A simple method of puting the saw together, only two bolts being used. Full instructions accompany each saw. A new and artistic style of painting In ultramarine blue, and decorated with gold and silver ornaments (in Japanese style). the arms ebonized and decorated the same. It Is claimed by the manufacturer that in point of finish, this excels any of the very highest priced—the quality of its work is second to none—that it is by far the easiest to operate, and simplest ever placed before the public; any boy over 8 years of age can learn to use it; Ladies operate it with great success, and are delighted with its working. Its range of work is well nigh unlimited, running from the finest In Tortoise Shell t o a l½” board. In beauty of finish, capacity for working, ease and simplicity of operation, it is believed to be altogether unsurpassed by any machine of its kind. Manufactured by A. H Shipman, Rochester, N. Y. This useful Premium we will supply for four subscriptions at $1.53 each. [Or we will supply one for $3.00], Expressage or freight from the manufactory to be paid by the recipient either case. |
