Wc , and the man ufacturcrs of Sl < ows Disc Sharpcner , . .guarantl.e ! that it will do bettcr wor1e and sta ) ' sharp twice as long. 'rhe reason is , in rolling out a disc it is made larger froUl threc-eigllts to five.eights of an inch , and the steel ig made hare and smooth , making it cut I easier. 'l'he machine docs not Cllt thl' ( Hsc away , but . rolls it out cold. By rolling , the steel is subjected to an . enormous prcssure , that compresses the Jiber of the metal which results in a larger disc and producing' a I roll temper which causes it to stay sharp much longer. . i , I' " . . h . . , : ' : , : , ' I < v . , : P' " $00 . _ I I ( . . : " .
