"THE PORTER" Jr. 5 INCH JOINTER
IS THE GREATEST LITTLE BIG
MACHINE ON THE MARKET.
It is built with the same
care, accuracy, and feat-
ures that are embodied
in "The Porter" Hand
Join ters which are
known the world over.
The steel lipped
ground tables which
can be withdrawn from
the cylinder; traversing
mclines for guaging the
cut; the tilting guage for
beveling, mitering, etc.;
and the Round Safety
Cylinder are all identical features of the larger machines.
When furnished upon the iron bed (shown in cut), any style
of motor can be attached. The style of current, cycle or
phaze is immaterial. The machine is furnished with or with-
out the countershaft, or stand, just as is desired.
IT IS THE IDEAL MACHINE
for the cabinet room, pattern shop, manual training school
or any place where small or narrow jointing or buzz planing
is done. It requires but little power, small space and runs at
high speed; and say-don't you know that
50% OF YOUR WORK
is within the range of this machine. You ought to be inter-
ested in this machine and our catalog T. will tell you all
about them.

Beautiful Bird's Eye Maple
JUST THE THING TO DELIGHT
•
THE LADIES AT CHRISTMAS!
There is nothing quite so dainty~so feminine-so charm-
ing for Christmas, as a Bird's Eye Maple Dressing Table.
Light, airy and cheerful, it goes to the hearts of the
ladies, and it is the ONLY LIGHT-COLORED FURNI-
TURE THAT IS ALSO HIGHLY ARTISTIC.
The NORTHERN has made Maple a leading line ever
since starting in business. We
are in the heart of the Maple
country, where the finest Ma-
ple in the world grows, and
with our standard lines, using
Maple as a base, we are able to
pick ONLY THE CHOIC-
EST PIECES for N at u r a I
Map I e finishes. Therefore,
when you buy Natural Bird's
No. 1152 Dresser.
Made in Oak, Mahogany and Blrd'.-eye Maple.
Eye Maple from the NORTH-
ERN, you are sure of the
creme de la creme~the finest III the country.
But you must have artistic shapes too-the airy beauty of Bird's
No. 1197 Dressing Table.
Eye Maple is completely lost if it is not made up in beautiful designs. Made 1D Oak, Mahogany and Bird'.
Eye Maple.
We also give you moderate prices. That is what will sell with
you-beautiful wood, designs and workmanship, at moderate prices, coupled with PROMPT
DELIVER Y ( and that means everything when you get near Christmas-nobody beats us at that
part of the game).

vested at the start III "OLIVER" "QUALITY" eqUipment.
Some manufacturers of wood workmg tools slight their output by puttmg In poor matenals-
employmg poor workmen-simply to be able to make a little more profit. 'Ohver" tools are bUllt
along machIne tool hnes -careful-accurate-durable - safe.
Some purchasers fall to mvestlgate thoroughly before plaCIng their order Some unscrupulous
salesman tells them to purchase somethmg-they go ahead-find out too late they are wrong-lose
