Enterprise Sad Irons

It has been clearly demonstrated that a set of Sad Irons is useful only as long as the handles last, and if these are so cheaply made as to be easily broken, keeping the laundry well supplied ceases to be an inexpensive matter. With all kitchen utensils and appointments nothing is as cheap as the best.

We are the original manufacturers of the popular Mrs. Potts’ Irons, and from the first have never spared pains or expense to add to their utility and durability. 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 it slightly convex, thus making ironing easier than with the old-style flat irons. The detachable handles are of the best selected wood excepting the lower part, which is made of forged, not cast, iron; they do not become heated, require no holder or cloth, and fit naturally to the hand without straining the arm or wrist.

The Handle has a Tinned Forged Iron Stretcher attached with the longest and heaviest screws possible, and while costing a little more will in the end, be the most economical for the user.

The frequent breakage of handles to say nothing of the time and inconvenience in replacing, can make a set of irons very expensive, no matter how small the original cost. Experience has taught us that Mrs. Potts’ Irons, with poor handles, are practically worthless. The Handles Cannot Be Made Too Good.

When ordering from your hardware merchant, be sure to ask for and get “The Enterprise.” No irons but those made by The Enterprise Manufacturing Co. of Pa. have Forged Iron Stretchers on the handle.
