drills have reputation for being
the best on the market for putting

The Reynolds Brothers of Port
Deposit have added some very i'm
port4nt improvements to their can
manufacturing esta lishment; among
which We note that of the test
ing machine, by which the cans
are submitted to 35 pound press
ure test as fast as boy can place
them on the tester. The soldering
process is so nearly automatic that
one boy merely places the cans on an
incline down which they roll, drop
ping into the solder bath where they
are revolved against the soldering
iron, the process being completed
in the most perfect manner
and as fast as boy can
lift the cans out and place them
in trays. The solder is put on so
smoothly and entirely complete that
there is no thread or tip of the metal
left to be rubbed off by the boy as
he lifts the cans. as in the old meth
ods. The Reynolds Brothers
and their ingenious master
workman (whose name we regret not
to be at present able to recall) have
got their can making machinery
down to very fine point, and their
cans cannot fail to give Gamers en-
tire satisfaction. being as at present
made, entirely free from finger marks;
and not two the customary allow

The most important part Of their
