AN INCH OR TWO AT THE CORNER OF IT, BOTH SIDES ALIKE.

The Hartman steel-wire mat. An open springy texture of wire to scrape on—galvanized spring-steel wire—no rust, no wear—like a wire mattress but thicker and closer. You scrape on it, step on it, stamp on it, tramp on it fearlessly. The stickiest mud becomes innocent dust underneath and is swept away next morning. A pretty full account of it sent on request.

The price of the mat is $4, more or less according to size. The $4 size is a good one, 22x30 inches. You earn it by getting $4.50 in new subscriptions. To save express we send it from the manufacturer’s nearest office nearest to you.

The makers are doing their best to supply the quick demand from the cities. They would be overwhelmed if the country were equally ready. But where is a perfect mat most useful, where there are pavements or no pavements?


Postage-stamp holder inside your pocket-book. Price 15 cents; for 20 cents in new subscriptions.

Nickel; the picture shows it open inside a pocket-book. Handy out of all proportions to its cost.
