Tho Mohawk patent helical spring
suspender" is the very modest name Of
an invention in the suspeuder line on ex
hibition and for sale at Bonds store. A
careful examination of the article leads
to the belief that it has real merits and
that it must come into general use. 1t il
claimed to be the best and easiest sus
pender evcr used. The elasticity is where
the suspender is attached to the pants,
thus leaving no draw or strain upon the
shoulder. The suspender holds its clasti-
city until entirely worn out, there being
not a particle of rubber in the same.
Gentlemen should call and examine them
before purchasing.
