Turning to Sears, Roebuck & Co.'s
big catalogue, page 496, No. 115, we
find that an order must be accom-
panied by cash in full-this is their
free trial. They say the Dundee will
not wear as well nor give as good
service as their higher priced ma
chimes But saying this they admit It's
q poor article. Their book gives its
capacity as from $50 to 175 pounds an
