HOBART!

Hobart offers you the widest selection ot

arc welders on today’s market. More than
that, they offer the best welders .. . from
which you can select exactly the right welder
to meet your requirements, AC-DC or
Combination—Automatic or Semi-Automatic.
Hobart welders have new convenience
features, more ‘“‘extras’’ are built in at the
factory—giving you far more welder
value, dollar for dollar.
Just compare Hobart with other welders—
point for point. Then you'll see why
Hobart has the fastest selling welder line
and is so popular among leading
industries everywhere

Colmonoy nickel, cobalt, and iron base alloys provide a
wide range of wear resistant qualities for maximum
part life regardless of the type of wear. Available as
electrodes, gas rods, castings, and Sprayweld Powder
Colmonoy methods include The Sprayweld Process*, by
which smooth, welded deposits of superior hard-facing
alloy are easily sprayed on, saving material, time, and
finishing costs.
