TOOL QUALITY AND PRICE
MOTTO THAT MADE A MAR
Vicious CHANGE.
ADVERTISEMENT

Thirty-six years ago a firm in st.
Louis arrived at a decision that was
to change the entire business OF
making and selling tools.
The decision was this: That people
wanted quality in tool, and that
quality should be maintained in their
tools regardless of everything else.
That quality should be the thought
first, last and all the time.
A mark and motto was adopted
that would forever link their tools
with quality-"The recollection OF
quality remains long after the price
is forgotten" With the meaning of
this motto always in mind, Keen
Kutter tools have been manufac-
tured ever since by the Simmons
Hardware Company.
The name Keen Kutter covers a
complete line of tools, so that no
matter what you want in the way of
a tool you can make. sure of quality
and satisfaction by simply asking
for the Keen Kutter brand-a Keen
Kutter axe, Keen Kutter saw, Keen
Kutter adze, Keen Kutter plane,
Keen Kutter knife, Keen Kutter
chisel, Keen Kutter file, Keen Kut-
ter gimlet, etc. This method of hav-
ing one general brand for all tools
greatly simplifes buying, and does
away with all chances Of the pur-
chaser getting a bad tool, as every
Keen Kutter tool is tested before
leaving thea=factory, and if it has
the slightest blemish it is cast aside.
As an evidence that Keen Kutter
tools are the standard of America to-
day in the eyes of expert Judges, this
brand was the only complete line of
tools to receive the Grand Prize at
the st. Louis Exposition. Yet Keen
Kutter tools, superior as they are
in quality, cost but trifie more at
first than inferior kinds, and in the
long run are much more economical.
If your dealer does not keep Keen
Kutter tools, write the Simmons
Hardware Company, St. Louis, Mo-,
and 29S Broadway, New York. who
will see that you are supplied.
