Every Tool We Sell Is Guaranteed
In our selection of tools, however, we do not stop with fine temper and
good steel. There is something else Just a« Important for good work,
for fast work and for easy work; that the tools be well balanced.
A farmer knows that a plow must be adjusted properly to
turn an even furrow, otherwise he does poor work and hard
work.
When a barber buys a razor, a blacksmith a hammer, a laborer a
shovel or ax, they take this point Into consideration. Remember, that
we handle only one kind of carpenter's tools, the best that good ma-
terials, care and unlimited skill can produce.
