Please Observe the following Directions when Sending in Barbers' Cutlery for Grinding:
—
Mail Packages. Do not paste, nor seal, nor put in any writing. Write your name
and address outside, and send instructions extra by letter, according to late postal regula-
tions. Razors should be wrapped with thin, neat wire around before the paper wrap-
per is placed on.
—
Express Packages. You can put in letter with full address and instructions. It is
the safest way to send by express. Packages of one Razor or Shears should be prepaid.
Please attach your address to all orders and packages you send for repairs.
Clippers being in bad order, additional charge may be necessary. Grinding of Clip-
pers must be done by skillful grinders; very few in Chicago are successful in doing this
job right. The newly invented machine for grinding Clippers, which we have, works
like a charm.

HONES.
Our advantages iu filling Orders for Hones. —The way and manner as started by Mr.
Knecht, Sr., a few years ago, when in Europe, having the Hones undergo a close
inspection, before they leave the quarry (every single one) by one thus educated
expert, has given us a great advantage and benefit in receiving nothing but selected
goods. Our Hone trade is a large one, and we shall continue in employing all possible
means to secure good hones for our patrons. We can thus say we have better Hones to
offer than the ordinary market supply.
Please give particulars with order as to grit, size and limited price.
We have the Swatt Razor Hones, Price $3, and sell these on their own merit.
The last or highest price is meant for a Hone which we have tried again with a
razor in our store before shipping, so as to have it comply with description given with

Parties wishing second quality Hones can have them at reduced prices.
