CLOTHES LINE CLAMp.

In the Illustration here is shown an
exceedingly simple and efficient clothes
line clamp, invented by two Chicago
men, for attachment to fence, post
or other support. 1t is made in two
parts, and operated by thumbscrew.
The base or main portion is perma-

good grip on the cork the collar is
