LUTHER GRINDER ON EXHIBITION

 

AEROPLANE IN MOTION AT D. & F. KUSEL CO. STORE

 

Knives and Shears Will Be Sharpened

Free During Demonstration Week

------------------------

06 29 1915

 

A big demonstration of the Luther grinder is now going on at the D & F. Kusel Co. store.

 

This demonstration will be mighty interesting and for one thing they are making use of an electric display stand that is run by an aeroplane.  At this time with the big factor that aeroplanes have cut in the European was, it is decidedly interesting.  Most people wonder what makes the stand turn around.  If you go to the window of the D. & F. Kusel Co. store you will see an aeroplane in full operation.  There will also be a grinder that is run by an electric motor the wheel of which is going to make 5,000 miles during the week of the demonstration.

 

In addition to that the demonstrator is going to sharpen a knife or a operation.  There will also be a pair of shears for anyone who will bring it to the store to sharpen.  This will be done without a cent of charge, on a household grinder that during the week will be priced at the very special price of ninety-eight cents.  Try one and see if you don’t think it is one of the handiest things your wife could have around the kitchen.
