NOTE BY THE PUBLISHERS. —

Shortly after this catalogue was begun we were approached by the author of "THE CONTRACTOR, CRAFTSMAN AND APPRENTICE," in reference to advertising our Tools and Machinery. After going over the work we were quite impressed with the fact that it was the most complete and comprehensive little text book that we had seen, and we succeeded in securing, at considerable expense, the right to incorporate it in our catalogue.

This work contains as much useful and instructive matter as is found in many of the highpriced, technical books. One of our customers says, "It is the most useful book in my library, and contains many important drawings and suggestions that are not commonly found in any but the most expensive books."

This work, if drawn out and printed as technical books often are, would consume eighty to one hundred pages, and bound in cloth, would sell at from $1.00 to $1.50. It has been condensed only in space, all of the original work being retained.
