And take pleasure in calling the attention OF
Stove, Hardware and general dealers to the
many desirable qualities of this New ware,
not only as an article OF trade. but of UTILITY.
com bining as it does HEATNEss,, CONVENIENCE
and LABOR-sAyIEG. in the care of utensils that
are in every day use, in the most important OF
ali HoUs EHOLD DEPARTMENTS. We desire and
request every hOuseke eper to see our Tea Net.
Ties. Sauce Pans, Clippers, Dish Pans,
wash Hasins, Polished Fry and Stew
Pans, as we are sure they have only to be seen
TO be appreciated:
MANY of the articles are made entirely of one
piece Of wrought iron, which. during the pro-
cess of manufacture, receives several coatlngs
of block tin; this leaves surface. when i'm
ished perfectly smooth, easily kept clean, and
entirely protected against rust. The cost is but
little more than common tin ware, and every
article will do ten times the service. The
shape enables US TO pack the various sizes in
nests. so as to occupy but little space and being
but little heavier than tin ware, the cost OF
transportation is very small. At present our
assortment consists in part of Tea Kettles,
1amp Kettles. Hess Pans, Dish Pans,
SaaeP Pans, EsiSh Kettles. Fry Pans,
