At Our id-Winter
 Sale THE BLOCH GO-CART /!

The best vehicle in the world for babies or children of all ages is the Bloch Go-Cart. It is a crib, baby carriage, and go-cart, all together. It weighs less than a baby carriage. takes up less room, gives the baby more room, more comfort, more change of position, more everything that babies ought to have, whether they are sick or well.
 It is endorsed by phsicians.
 It is the best built of all go-carts; won't get out of order; doesn't run of to one side; doesn't wabble; is made of the best materials-from the steel in the axle to the reed in the body. No pains have been spared to make it the best that can possibly be made. Is not built to last one year. but to last the whole early life of the child and for one child after another.
 The Bloch is easy to adjust-no strength or mechanical knowledge re- quired-and it will take any position from upright to reclining, by just a turn of the thumb-screw at the top of the back. The back and front work independently or together
 The mechanism is perfect, simple, doesn't get out of order, and is placed entirely out of sight.
 Nobody needs baby carriage these days.
 The Bloch Go-Cart is steel through out. The teachers are of bicycle tub ing. The handles are porcelain run over steel rod. The hubs are nut less, and have rubber caps to protect furniture and the wheels go on and come off in an instant-no wrench re- quired. The springs are of different shape-The Bloch Go-Cart is entirely protected by patents. There is nothing like It.
