"The stability of this hammer has also been thor-
oughly tested out by several manufacturers, who
found that it will not
cave with hard use and
will always maintain
its original shape. We
have been very well
pleased with the de-
mand and our factory
has been busy for the
first six months of the
year, many large re-
orders having been re-
ceived from representa-
tive manufacturers all
over the country."
