ADJUSTABLE SEESAW<br />

""THIS adjustable seesaw is designed to<br />

meet the requirements of children of<br />

various ages. Three adjustments may<br />

be made so as to accommodate children<br />

from two to fourteen. The board<br />

may also be adjusted so that a light<br />

and heavy child may play together.<br />

The tapering off of the board near the<br />

ends provides a comfortable seat. By<br />

turning the board over and adjusting<br />

it at the highest level, the older children<br />

can get a merry-go-round effect.<br />

For Children of Assorted<br />

Ages<br />

It does not matter with<br />

this seesaw, whether<br />

the two children using<br />

it are of equal weight.<br />

The center board can<br />

be adjusted on the lever<br />

principle so that even<br />

large discrepancies in<br />

weight are equalized.<br />

The board is eight, nine,<br />

or ten feet long, according<br />

to model desired.<br />

that the hot-water bag had leaked,<br />

and your feet were cold and wet, the<br />

utility of this foot warmer would<br />

mean more to you than beauty.<br />

container is gone within half<br />

an hour.<br />

This foot warmer is made of<br />

specially prepared potter's clays,
