In sixteen twenty six by Plymouth Rocks environs. The course of true love, rough at first, was at the end. As smooth as if they'd used the Enterprise sad irons. [graphic]. New York: Donaldson Brothers, lith., c1893. 2 prints: chromolithograph; 13 x 9 cm. (5 x 3.5 in.) Advertising text on verso: Enterprise Cold Handle Sad Irons. [Mrs. Potts' Patent.] These irons are so well and favorably known that we will refer but briefly to a few main points of superiority. They are ground by patented machinery, which makes every Iron true and the face of the Iron slightly convex, thus making ironing easier than with the old style flat irons. The detachable handles are walnut, excepting the lower part, which is a TINNED iron casting, called a stretcher; they do not become hot, need no holder of cloth, and fit naturally to the hand without straining the arm or wrist. Three irons (of different sizes), one handle and stand comprise a set. For prices and further information send for the Catalogue. Printed on verso of P.2008.36.52: For Sale by the Hardware Trade.
