It is quite justly regarded as the very best ever made_ The little machine is clamped by the thumbscrew to a table. It pares and slices the fruit, and deposits the slices in a dish. Its operation is quick, efl'ective, certain, and simple. Can Opener.--One of the standing annoyances of housc keepers is the opening of cans containing fruits, vegetables, etc. It is certain that the ordinary tools employed for this purpose are very defective. They are hard to operate, dangerous to handle, and rough in results. The accompanying cut shows the Clipper Can Opener in position for service. It is screwed on to any convenient place. The table on which the can stands is adjusted by a ratchet movement to any height of can. The knife is curved to meet the circle of the can. It can easily be thrust through the tin, when, by a rotary motion, it will cut the top out, as cleanly as if cut by straight shears.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK“Equal parts George Saunders, Raymond Chandler and Ludwig Wittgenstein . . . an intelligent and beguiling book that shouldn’t be missed.” —Time Out New York Set in the once-great Midwestern city of Trude—a treacherous maze of convoluted shopping malls, barricaded libraries, and elitist assisted-living homes—this novel follows a disconsolate legal clerk named Sven Norberg, who sets out to investigate his wife’s disappearance. Written with boundless intelligence and razor-sharp wit, The Facades is a comic and existential mystery that unfolds at the urgent pace of a thriller. “An un-put-downable mystery . . . brimming with entertaining dialogue and unique, well-wrought characters . . . Lundgren’s debut is a fierce, funny examination of loss, set against one of the most creative worlds in recent memory, and it’s not to be missed.” —Publishers Weekly “Lundgren incorporates thoughtful details, unexpected word choices, and striking turns of phrase that linger with the reader long after the book has ended. He has a keen sense of the mental abstraction that accompanies loss and translates it to the page with devastating accuracy. Readers with discerning taste in fiction, especially fans of literary fiction laced with mystery, will love Lundgren’s debut.” —Booklist “Fascinating, painfully funny, darkly surrealistic . . . The Facades is a fine first novel by a very promising young writer.” —St. Louis Post-Dispatch
