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 difficulty 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 but little fruit to gather as well as those who have large quan ities. Price, per dozen, $6.00. Liberal discount to dealers. It will gather Apples, Peaches, Pears, etc. Manufactured by ■\7\7’lr © "WonS-S, EDWARD DARBY W SONS, 233 & 235 Arch St., Philadelphia, Pa PAINTED AND GALVANIZED WINDOW SGREEN GLOTH.
