Eureka Harness Oil
The proper oiling of a harness i- of vital import-ine to the hvither. It
is worse than waste to let the harness i:et dry, biittle and rotten.
A harness oiled us it should he needs very fe repairs.
The beet method of oiling harness is to entirely immerse the same in
the harness oil until every piece of leather is made soft and pliable.
We have prepared ourselves for the oilini; of harness by installing an
improved tip to-date oiler, or hipping Tank, and in connection with this
tank we are using Knreka Harness Oil, acknowledged to he the best
harness oil on the market.
This oil does not merely form a coaling on the surface, but penotartos
the leather, preventing cracking and breaking.
Eureka Harness Oil (ills the pores of the leather and makes it water
proof. It contains no acid and will not become laucid.
In short, Eureka Harness Oil nukes old harness like new.
Bring in your harness and W" will oil same at a reasonable price, and
we are sure yon will be more than satislied with the result.
