EectrotWcr, Chicago.
THE ANsoN HARDY PAPER CUTTER is by
far tho best machine which can be Oh
tanned for a less price than one hundred
dollars. It is of great strength. These
machines havo always taken the highest
stand. 1t is the only machine to which
is applied tho Patent Movable Cutting
Board. This device has q reputation of
itself: by it, the cutting board can be in
stantly and accurately moved, so that q
perfect cut is insured. This is very i'm
portant point in tho machine, and one
that is possessed by no other. 1t greatly
reduces the labor Of preparation in work
ing the paper backward and forward.
We cannot too strongly recommend ,the
advantages of this patent movable board.
1t is worth tho price of this machine, and
highly it is to bo valued. Geo. p, Ro,ce|l
