'HOPE'

The latest double lever sleeve button is the “ Whipsaw.” The supposition “ that the latest must be the best ” is not the only ground for thinking that this button contains qualities which place it on a par with the best double lever buttons now' on the market. The writer has seen the button and had its working explained to him. It can easily be adjusted and removed without injury to the cuff ; it sits close to the cuff, and is strong and reliable. The manufacturers, Howard & Son, Providence, R. I, have placed it upon the market to accommodate a few of their patrons, and we feel confident in predicting for the novelty a general popularity. It is their intention to make the “ Whipsaw ” in as many designs as they apply to their celebrated American lever, namely, over 800. Samples may already be seen at the firm’s New York office, 176 Broadway, where George W. Parks, their genial representative, will be pleased to show them. By referring to illustrations contained in the advertisement o£ the Messrs. Howard the reader will readily understand its principle.
