Unless you have always used the
Blue Grass Hammer, you no doubt have
experienced more or less aggravation
with hammers the head of which would
mushroom, nick, chip, or crumble,
claws would break, and handles work
loose or break off.
There's whole lot more besides
shead" and ''handle" to a Blue Grass
Hammer-there's quality, service, sat-
isfaction-every desirable requisite,
minus the element of aggravation.
The Blue Grass is the kind of hammer
the owner refers to as ''good as new''
after it has been long in service.
The head is of the highest grade cru
chile forged tool steel, perfectly tenn
pered from poll to claw. Selected
straight grain hickory handles.
Blue Grass is the hammer we guar,
