AS A FRUIT PICKER IT HAS NO SUPERIOR. It is made of Heavy Galvanized Wire, and Easily Adjusted to a Pole. It has been sold for several years, and the demand (as it is becoming known) is steadily increasing. The difliculty of detaching fruit and securing it unbruised is apparent to everyone so engaged. This overcomes the difficulty, and saves the finest fruit, which commands the highest prices. THE LOW PRICE AT WHICH IT IS SOLD. brings it within the reach of those who have hut little fruit to gather as well as those who have large quaniitics. Price, per dezen, $6.00. Liberal discount to dealers. It will gather Apples, Peaches, Pears, etc. Bianufacturedby 'WliT© 'WorlaLfii, EDWARD DARBY tt SONS, 233& 235 Arch St., Philadelphia, Pa PAINTED AND GALVANIZED WINDDW SCREEN CLOTH. IRON, STEEL.
