Frame has a .flat back, square edge, made of fine spring steel. Beech handle with banded sides and varnished edges. It is a revelation to see how this saw works in comparison to the cheap, inferior kind. EFFICIENCY is the order of the day. Fast, clean work with the best of tools is the mark of the suc- cessful farmer. Of all the time-wasters and muscle-killers ever invented, the worst is a cheap, worthless saw. It oavs to get a good sawit is like monev in the " 4 . ... V The best saws for every purpose are Silver Steel Each. one is sold under this broad and positive guaranty: "If you buy an A'tkins saw and it does not prove thoroughly satisfactory in every respect take it to your dealer and get a new saw or your money back every red cent of it back if you want it." It is an unlimited guaranty. We have unlimited confidence in our pro duct. For over sixty years we have been making saws nothing but saws and saw tools and they are truly "the finest on earth." Made of steel as fine as razor steel, tempered by a process that makes the saw hold its ; perfect edge under the most trying conditions.
