And safely by a simple and union device lately patented. ' whereby either condimennt is convenient amd ready for use. This device U known aa .

He kicks on "boss" rule only when he is not the "boss." He was nominated on the Anti-Quay issue and turned entirely a.ound and vo'-' r Qniiv himself. Why? This invention relates to that class of casters, or condiment-holders, par ' .ticularlr for salt and tjetroer. which ff are designed to contain both salt and pepper in separate compartments and capable of delivering either salt or pepper, as desired. The objects of the present inven tion are to provide a slide adapted to open and close the sets of openings or perforations in the top or cap of the Mate with nnratltir I Vi ntn H-nlea and means for locking the slide when & 6ECHWST. both sets of openings sre closed. inventor. Construction of this Device. The body of the cruet is of any preferred shape and material, having an exteriorly-threaded neck whereby the cap is removably secured thereon. - The interior of the cruet is divided into two compartments by means of a longitudinal partition, and the salt and pepper are contained in either compartment entirely separated from each other. The cap is preferably of metal, having the inner side of its deDendiae - flange threaded and adapted to engage the threaded neck of the castor in the usual manner. The openings or perfora tions for distributing the salt and pepper are provided in the too of the cap and are arranged at each side of the paruuon, preteraoly in two parallel lines. Arranged against the inner face of the cap is a slide the body of which is preferably of circular form, but smaller than the cap, so as to De moved from aide to side therein. The slide is provided with a straight slot extending diametrically across the center therof and parallel with the two sets of perforations in the cap. At diametri cally opposite points on the periphery of the slide are- provided thumb-pieces disposed trans versely with respect to the perforations and extending through openings, respectively, in the upper edge of the cap. A suitable filling-piece is placed in the cap and against the slide to re tain the same therein and yet allow the required movement thereof. This filling-piece is adapted to fit tighily against the top of the partition to prevent mixing of the contents of the separate compartments and Is provided with a pair of openings directly over the compartments and aligning with the nets of perforations in the cap. By this arrangement the slide is disposed between the top of the cap and the filling-piece so as to open either set of perforations and close the other to discharge either the salt or pepper separately. By reason of the thumb-pieces extending at diametrically opposite points of the cap they may be grasped between the thumb and forefinger and pushed in either direction to cose one or the other set of perforations. Advantages of this Device. It is simple, cheap, neat, durable aud handy, always having salt or pepper at hand. It is not easily turned over and contents spilled. It saves calling for two or three cruets. . Bright Chance for Bright Salesmen. The advantages of this device are so apparent and it is so practical that every house wit) want two or three of them. The sale is bound to be rapid and large. Territory for sale by State rights, or will sell as a whole, at terms furnished on application. The greatest hustle secures the cream. Quick action insures quick returns. Write if you ant it. A. S. Sechrist. Anion S. Sechrist of Verdilla, this county, is the inventor and patentee of the shove device for a salt and pepper box. Mr. Sechrist b'3ers to sell the patent outright or lie will join with a company to manufacture them in Middleburg. The machinery to manufacture 2000 boxes a day"will cost $1400. The boxes can be made for 3 cents each and will retail for 10 cents each. Boxes could be sold to jobbers at 4c each and clear $20 a day. It is the best article for the purpose that iias been patented. Mr. Sechrist lias completed two other devices, one to force water out of a pump by limply standing on a platform and another arrangement for shutters so that you close one shutter at a house,-all or them will go shut.
