MAKE IT WITH STANLO
THE NEW METAL CONSTRUCTION TOY IN BRILLIANT COLORS
Automobiles, houses, trolley cars, boats, bridges, forts, steam shovels, factories, doll furniture and hundreds of other things—build them with STANLO. And best of all, every piece in a STANLO set is finished in brilliant colors so that you can obtain almost any color combination. • An entirely new principle is used in fastening the pieces together and the finished project is absolutely rigid. There are no nuts or bolts to lose. • A 24 page Instruction Book comes with each STANLO set. It shows over 125 different things to make and suggests many others. • There are seven different STANLO Sets. (They cost—$1.00, $2.50, two at $5.00, $7.50 and two at $10.00.) Ask your toy dealer to show you STANLO—it’s entirely new. Write us for descriptive circular. • If the set you want is not obtainable in your local store, we will sent it, fully prepaid, upon receipt of price.
