CO. 318 E 4th St. OLYMPIA, WASHINGTON Manfacturl bT Tml MONITOR STOVZ COMPAWT, Cn,, O, Polson's Portable Drag Saw Polson's Portable Drag Saw is a time and labor saving device which will do the work of ten men in sawing logs into stove or cord wood lengths, cutting shingle bolts, etc. On the farm the machine is in- dispensable. It lightens the burden of farm work, and makes land clearing a simple tsk. Its advent has marked the elimination of much of the tedious labor which has heretofore been attached to farm life. The large cutting capacity and the low cost of operation demonstrate the practicability of this machine saw on the farm or in the logging campwherever wood cutting is a part of the day's work<. Strength and durability, combined with light weight and low cost of operating are qualities which have been obtained in Polson's Portable Drag Saw, after several years of experimenting. The machine is equipped with a 4 h. p. water cooled gasoline engine with a friction clutch. The friction clutch is of the internal expanding shoe type. It enables th operator to start the engine without setting the Saw blade in motion. When the saw has been placed in position, and the operator is ready to start cutting, he may gently engage the clutch, allowing the blade to commence cutting gradually. • SPECIFICATIONS The,4 h. p. gasoline engine is two-cycle water cooled and runs at 600 R. P. M. or 100 strokes of the saw per minute. The gasoline tank has  capacity of two gallons, or fuel' enough to cut twenty cords of wood. A six-foot saw blade is included in the regular equipment. Extra or longer blades can be furnished at an additional cost. PERFORMANCE Fifteen to thirty Cords of wood per day is an average cutting capacity of Polson's Portable Drag Saw. The machine will cut through a 2-foot log in 1½ minutes 5-foot log in 7 minutes 3-foot log in 2 minutes 6-foot log in 12 minutes 4-foot log in 4 minutes ' TERMS OF SALE , We have these saws in stock and sell them on 'contract as follows: The price is $165.00, $50 down and the balance in five equal monthly payments.
