(PATENT PENDING.) < LU X D o > 7s > 3 CD H m CD The above cat shows No. 9. Nine inches wide. Price $5.00 each. I "T-Tp T TIVT A "RJ? T TCTT-T Is the best billposter's brush ever made. We say it is the best, because We know it is the best. Five dollars is a big price x * xl -' X-/XJ.VXZX JJ1WJU1 X f or a brush, it is more than any brush maker in the United States asks for a nine-inch brush. But the Lima Brush cannot be sold at a profit for a cent less. It is worth more than five dollars. In fact, it is dirt cheap at that price. We believe it will drive every other brush out of the market within a year. This is not idle talk. We are practical billposters. We have used the brush. We have tested it severely. We know what we are talking about. We know that when once a billposter tries this brush he will never use any other thereafter. The head of this brush is made of aluminum. It is all metal, no wood. Aluminum is a metal that is harder than iron and lighter than wood. The Lima Brush weighs less than a wooden-head brush. Furthermore, the handle socket has a better slant than it is possible to give to a wooden-head, and, therefore, the handle has a better bearing. The head does not absorb water, and, therefore, does hot' become heavy .id water-logged. The bristles are Otaka bristles. They are better, longer and more durable bristles than were ever put in a paste brush before. They will wear twice as long as ordinary bristles. They are set in shellac, inserted in an aluminum pocket and sewed through and through with copper wire. There are no iron tacks to rust out. In fact," the brush is indestructible. The bristles, of course, will wear out eventually, but the head—never. The head is so constructed as to prevent surplus paste from running down the handle. Even now we have not told you the half of its merits. You doubt it? You think this is drawing it pretty strong? Well, listen. Here is where we make good : SPECIAL OFFER ON ONE HUNDRED BRUSHES TO INTRODUCE THEM. TO ANY BILLPOSTER who will send us $4.75 we will send one of the above brushes by express, all charges fully prepaid. We will allow him to use It thirty days. At the end of this time, if he is not fully satisfied, in fact, If he can be persuaded to part with the brush, we will give him his money back. Signed, W. 6. TIRRILL & CO., Lima, O. How is that for n guarantee? Now do you (think we are blowing, or do you believe we have the finest brush in America? Remember this offer is for the first one hundred brushes only. We want to get the brush into the hands of billposters quick. Counting out the express charges (which we prepay), we lose a little money on every brush. We will sell but one brush only to one person nt the special rate. As soon as the first hundred brushes are sold, the regular price ($5.00) will prevail.
