PATENT HYDRAULIC LIFTING JACK.
This jack is safer than any hitherto made, inasmuch as the lowering is under perfect control, being regulated by a screw the foot and cylinder are also in one forging instead of being screwed together, or with thee claw hung loosely over the head, as is the case with all other hydraulic jacks.
The cylinder and ram are made of the very best scrap iron. The prices, also, are as low as any in the trade.
