'GIVE ME A WINCHESTER TOOL EVERY TIME'
Men who make their living by their skill with tools find in Winchester Tools special re- finements of design, niceties in finish, and sturdy construction. They produce more and bet- ter work at the end of the day. That's the reason we hear so many good words spoken about Winchester Tools.
For the skilled mechanic or the "Handy man" Winchester tools are made to save his time and temper. Let us show you some tools you really need if you are going to do odd jobs around the house—and do them right. The time and material wasted with the wrong tool ouickly amounts to more than the cost of the right tool. H. S. Graham & Sons
