THE "CLEAN" COMB

As the name implies, this comb is always clean. The self-acting plate through which the teeth act when in use, keeps them perfectly clean and free from hair and dirt and housed and protected against bending as well. The horse is also shielded from the harshness of the regular style of comb while the light pressure of currying brings the teeth into play in a much more effective way. Neatly and strongly made of the best cold rolled steel, and finished in lacquer or brass plate.

A trial will convince you that this comb combines the best qualities of all other combs on the market.
