The Attention of Hardware and Groccryinen, Carpenters, Joiners, Bridge Builders, Millers,

And all others who use Nails is called to the*

COYNE PATENT AUTOMATIC NAIL PICKER

Which is now in successful operation in tbe .•

Terre Haute Iron and Nail Works,"

Two mills in Pittsburg, one in Mahoning Valley and ours are the only nail' works west cf the Allegheny Mountains that bave attached this patent nail picker^ to their nail machines. This picker separates all the dust, soale, slivers, headless and imperfect nails from the perfect, thereby insuring from three to. Ave pounds more of perfect nails to tbe keg than nails put up by tbe old process, which mixes ail tbe

slivers, scale, and imperfect with tbe perfect nails. Therefore the advantage of setting the cleanly picked nails over thos* not so seleoted will be readily seen. Our RED LABEL is pasted on every picked keg of nails. Therefore, let every one be sure to call for tbe

Terre Haute Red Labeled Selected Nails.:

We are also scouring our tbree-penny fine nails which will especially interest plasterers. Come and see how perfectly this little Coyne Picker does its work.
