Two mills in Pittsburg, one in Mahoning Valley and ours are the only nail works west cf the Allegheny Mountains that have attached this patent nail picker tn their nail machines. This picker separates all the dust, scale, slivers, headless and imperfect nails from tbe perfect, thereby insuring from three to five pounds more of perfect nails to the keg than nails put up by the old process, which mixes all the dust, silvers, scale, and imperfect with the perfect nails. Therefore the advantage of setting the cleanly picked nails over thos" not PO selected will be readily seen. "Our RED LABEL is pasted on every picked keg of nsils.
