which will not cause pain or injury to the feet. The axle runs through
a steel collar upon which the wheel revolves, thereby preventing
friction. The roller is made of solid vulcanized rubber, and will not
become soft or peel off when in use.
Per pair, $2, $3, $4, $4 50.

ALL CLAMP STEEL.
(See cut above.)
Sizes, 8, 8½, 9, 9½, 10, 10½, 11, 11½in.
In constructing this skate, no new or untried mechanical principle for
obtaining the desired motions and power is employed. The transverse
sliding clamp for grasping the sole, operated and held by means of
pins and slots, is a mechanical device long and successfully employed
on skates; which, with the single and directly acting heel clamp and
longitudinal screw, make this the most desirable of all clamp skate
in the market. All of the important parts of these skates are made of
steel; and the runners are manufactured of the best welded steel and
iron, carefully tempered.

The patent consists mainly in the application of an entirely new style
of screw and clamp, the latter catching upon the metal hoop, and the
screw passing through it and into a solid ash rim, forming for itself
a thread almost as durable as one of metal, and producing an equal and
powerful pressure upon the flesh hoop.
The advantages of this banjo over all former patents are many, and
comprise, mainly, a power of tone never before attained in a low-priced
banjo; extreme lightness, durability, and an attractive appearance,
which assures the dealer of a ready sale.
On ALL these Banjos we use the best quality French calf head, Italian
strings, and thoroughly seasoned wood for the necks and rims.
