best ever brought before the public, possessing
numerous advantages, viz:
Ii is strong durable, and not liable to get out OF
order.
II punches the hole well aud TO ft the .Eyelet,
and in one operation cnches the Eyelet on both
sides.
II saves time, as the papers, &c. need not be
reversed or turned over TO clinch the Eyelet a
second time, as is the case with all other ma.

II is useful to the merchant in filing away
papers, as well as to the attorney or conveyancer
the shomaker, tailor, miliner, and numerous
others and is a very labor-saving machine.
