Miss A. M Fritz, Station A, St. Louis,
Mo., would give all elegant plated hook
siiooii to any one sending her ten 2 cent
stamps. I sent for one and fount it
so useful that l showed it to my-friends
and made $13, in two hours, taking or¬
ders for the spoon, Tlie hook spoon
is a household necessity, It cannot
slip into the dish or cooking vessel, be
ng held in the place by a hook on the
back. The spoon is something house¬
keepers have needed ever since upoons
were tirst invented. Any one can get a
•ample spoon by sending ten 2 cent

did way to make money around home,
