Our catalogue tells all about them. It is sent free oil ap- plication. ECONOMY IS THE ROAD TO WEM.TH." If there ever was a time when this old adage was true, it has long since passed away. Cer- tainly it is not true in these hustling bustling days. One cannot make money by saving it— not now. The only way that the modern man can make money is by spending it—spending it wisely. Money spent in labor saving machinery is wisely spent. Spending money in this wise is making money. Our Paste Mixers will make more and better paste with less flour and labor than any other in the market. THEY ARE MONEY MAKERS. J. H. DAY & co." 44 "" , ""' s,, " AVE CINCINNATI, O.
