Description
Three color 9 1/2″ x 13 1/2″ ad for their Surform Tool. The ad has a large picture of a pair of male hands holding a Surform Plane filled with shavings on the face of a board under the headline “trimming a big one…faster!”. There are several smaller pictures of some of the different Surform Tools being used and the ad lists with prices the tools available. It mentions the Surform Plane for $3.69, the Surform Round File for $2.39, the Surform Convex Plane for $3.69, the Surform Drum Tool for $2.29, the Surform File – regular cut, flat blade for $2.69, the Surform File – regular cut, half-round blade for $2.89, the Surform File – fine cut, flat blade for $2.69, the Surform Pocket Tool – fine cut, flat blade for $1.59, the Surform Pocket Tool – fine cut, half-round blade for $1.79 and replacement blades and abrasive sanding blades from 75 cents to $1.19. The ad also mentions other Stranley products such as their Swirlaway Sander for $3.69, Drapery Hardware, the Stanley “OH” Tightener and an assortment of Bi-fold hardware. This ad is larger than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the ad will not be visible in the scanned view.
