saw
TwoBabylandsubscriptions equivalent to onePansy.The entire framework is made from Iron, painted and Japanned black, and ornamented with red and gilt stripes.All parts made to interchange.1. The Bearings to the Arms are carefully sized to bring them in perfect line. (This is a vital point in the construction of any Jig Saw.)2. Each machine is provided with a Dust Blower, which is a very great advantage.3. Our machine has a jointed Stretcher Rod, which allows the operator to throw the upper arm out of the way when adjusting his work or saw. This joint also permits the machine to work much more freely than with a straight iron rod.4. Our clamps have a hinged jaw which overcomes the disagreeable raking overthrow of the blade, which is unavoidable when the saws are secured rigidly to the arms. Saw blades are not nearly so liable to break when clamps have this joint. Thus a large percentage of the expense of running the saw is saved. Besides this the saw runs much easier, the swing coming at the hinge instead of bending the blade with each stroke of the saw.5. The Balance wheel is 41/4inches in diameter, with a handsome spoke centre and Rim of Solid Emery.6. The attachment for Drilling is on the Right Hand Side of the machine, which, for convenience, is an obvious advantage.7. No Pins are used in the construction of this machine, as we prefer the durability of nicely fitted screws and bolts in securing each part.While the New Rogers' Saw is very rich, though not gaudy in appearance, it has been more especially our object to make, for the least possible money, a saw characterized for its Compactness, Strength, and durability, ease of action, and firmness when in operation.With each machine we give six Saw Blades, Wrench, Sheet of Designs and three Drill Points. The Saw alone weighs 25 lbs.; Saw and Box together, 36 lbs.Price of No. 2 Rogers' Saw, $4.00.

BOOK-RACKS FOR EVERY HOME.
These Book-racks are something entirely new; something which everybody needs.
Many people having a taste for reading, are prevented from purchasing book-cases on account of their high cost. Consequently their books will lie around on tables, on the floor or in closets until they become soiled or destroyed. This difficulty in keeping books from being injured can be obviated by obtaining the "Lock Shelf Book-rack," an article both beautiful and useful.
The simplicity of their construction will enable any one to take them apart and put them up again in a moment's time. They are made to hang on the wall from strong screw hooks which are furnished with each rack. (Put hooks close to the uprights.) Can also stand on the floor.

A GOOD SUGGESTION.
Economy, as wise folks say,Is wealth pronounced another way,So while "hard times" the people cry,The Toilet Soaps they should not buy,Let all who buy such Soaps take careTo weigh the cake exact and fair,And find the pay in figures roundA dollar, more or less, per pound.What course should people then pursue?In short, the only thing to do,Though rich in bonds, or worldly poor,The "Ivory Soap" they should procure,Which may be bought from coast to coast,At sixteen cents per pound at most,And does more satisfaction grantThan all the Toilet Soaps extant.
A WORD OF WARNING.
There are many white soaps, each represented to be "just as good as the 'Ivory';" they ARE NOT, but like all counterfeits, lack the peculiar and remarkable qualities of the genuine. Ask for "Ivory" Soap and insist upon getting it.
