Advertising text printed on verso: Enterprise Cork Pullers. Our cork pullers are first-class and are made in two styles, one
screwing to the table and the other clamping thereto. The sliding barrel, both handles, etc. are nickel-plated; its action,
exerting great pulling power where the strain is the greatest, is simple, expeditious and effective. Prices. No. III,...$1.50.
No. 113,...$1.75.
