HONES.
Our advantages in 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 inspec-
tion, 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 ofter than the ordinary mar-
ket supply.
Please give particulars with order as to grit, size and limited price.
We have the Sw.aty R.^zor' Hones, Price $2.00, and sell these on their own merit.

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 regulations.
Razors should be wrapped with thin, neat wire around before the paper wrapper is placed
on. If a razor or shear is to be returned by mail, 5c postage must be added to the remit-
tance for each or either of them.
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.

This is a beautiful, strong and durable Chair, made in both Black Walnut and Cherry,
handsomely carved, veneered and engraved, highly polished and finished in the best

The above illustrates Archer's latest new style of Barber Chair. The Chair is made
of Walnut, or Maple finished as Ebony, finished in first-class style. The arms, back and
seat are connected, and securely fastened together by the tasty iron side arm, which is
double japanned and ornamented with gilt lines. The Foot-stool, as will be seen, is con-
structed in a similar manner, with tasty japanned iron platform and step. The above
connections are protected by patents issued May 21st, 1878.
This Chair is the most handsome and durable Chair for its price ever offered to the
trade, the iron platform never wearing out, and always looking clean and neat.
" ADJUSTABLE."
t^
The Chair is ahead of any other Barber Chair of same kind in the market. It com-
bines beauty and durability, with exceeding comfort to the occupant and operator. The
Chair reclines to convenient position for shaving, and by dropping the handle on right side
of Chair, it turns or revolves wherever the Barber finds the suitable light and ease to shave.
When the Chair is reclined for shaving the self -adjustable foot rest falls in position suitable
for the occasion. The upholstering is first-class we use the best of Imported Plushes.

Please notice the difference in price against other similar Revolving Chairs advertised by
other dealers.

SPECIAL NOTICE.— I would respectfully solicit my Tonsorial friends to call and
examine the Reclining Barber Chair whenever convenient for them to do so, and be con-
vinced of its superiority. It is impossible to illustrate the Chair to its proper advantage, or
explain all parts in the proper light. Those that have them in use speak of them in the
highest praise. Solid comfort for the occupant, and convenient and easy working for the
Barber. Would also call your attention to the improved Hair Cutting Chair (upholstered),
and the Boot Blacking Chair, which is a great convenience to the boot-black, an ornament
and advertisement for your shop. See pages 72 and 73.
Permit me to call your attention to the patent foot-rest, which gives this new improved
pattern a great advantage over the Reclining Chairs advertised in other catalogues. There
is no more with a person's foot when stepping on the foot-stool.
tilting or tipping in All
parts are secure and perfectly safe. This, our Reclining Chair of to-day, is a useful novelty
to have in the shop. Please notice also the difference in price for the Plush and Carpet-
covered Reclining Chair.
Price of Chairs.
Covered with best Mohair Plush, crimson or green, nickel-plated trimmings $36 00
Covered with best Tapestry Brussels Carpet, crimson or green, bronze trimmings. 30 00 .
Barbers will please compare foot-rest on above Chair with that of other Reclining
Chairs advertised, and observe the perfect safety when persons get in the Chair the foot- ;
rest has sufficient support. Customers having short legs may conveniently rest their feet
on the platform.
ROCHE8TEK, N. Y.
The above style Barber Chair is made of iron, of beautiful design, and tastefully or-
namented with gilding. It is adjusted to the position necessary for shaving, by placing the
foot on the treadle at the rear, which releases the segment, and allows the seat and back to
be tilted to any desired angle. As will be seen, the Chair and Foot-rest are combined,
thereby making it a firm and strong Chair. It has rollers under the front legs to facilitate
the moving of the Chair about the room. It is the most handsome design, and withal the
best low-priced Adjustable Barber Chair ever offered to the trade. It is well upholstered,
with steel springs in the seat, and the best of materials, and covered with Carpet or Plushes;
wood-work finished in Walnut or ebonized Cherry.
ADJUSTABLE.
This Chair is made of highly-seasoned and kiln-dried Black Walnut lumber, gotten up to
meet the demand of a good Chair well finished and upholstered at a moderate price. This
Chair sells best of any Chairs as yet made, for its bright appearance and easy substantial
machinery. The Foot-Stool is covered with sheet brass.
This chair will be provided with G. Knecht's newly invented noiseless machinery.
This Chair is made and and solid Black Walnut and well uphol-
finished of selected
stered, adjustable to different positions by means of a foot lever on the rear of the Chair.
Foot-stool covered with sheet brass. This Chair defies competition. It is really the cheapest
Chair for the money in the market. This chair is provided with Gustav Knecht's newly
invented machinery, without notches or cog wheels works entirely noiseless, and stops at
;
MACHINERY.
Patented October 4, 1887.
The above illustrates our late invented Noiseless Tilting Machine, which is acknowledged
the best ever put on a Barber Chair. It can be stopped at any intermediate point ; no
waiting for certain notches (which are sometimes an inch or more apart), to check the Chair.
There are no notches or cogs to cause a constant rattle after using a short time. It is noise-
less, and will stop exactly where you want it without danger of slipping, which is so com-
mon with other machines.
Our machine is new, introduced only a year ago, but a great many are now in use and
heartily endorsed by experts of the Tonsorial art. The mechanism is simple and easily
understood ; there is nothing to get out of order. All our National Barber Chairs, Nos. 1,
