The first is a wonderful, extremely graphic and brightly colored Gopher-Cop in excellent plus condition, showing the image of the cop with dead gophers laying around him and carrying a gopher by the scruff of his neck. It reads "Gopher-Cop Kills Gophers / Fairview Chemical Co. Limited, Regina". It is also marked "Poison" with skull and crossbones symbols. The can is in NOS condition, with one very slight non-offensive small surface scuff on the face of the can, only noticeable upon close inspection. Directions read "Shake the Can Well Before Using / Gopher-Cop is ready to use, just pour the contents of this package over six quarts of clean oats or wheat, stir thoroughly until all the kernels are coated, then distribute about one teaspoonful to each gopher hole.". The lid reads "Get the Gophers Before they get your Crop / When Young Gophers Appear, Good Results will be Obtained by Increasing the Quality of Grain to 8 Quarts". The second is a Johnson's Wax Furniture Polish can, in NOS condition with the directions on the underside, with extravagant scrollwork and highly detailed images. The top of the can shows the Victorian lady polishing the large early oak table. Reads "Johnson's Wax Prepared / Cleans and Polishes Fine Furniture Pianos / Linoleum Floors Woodwork Automobiles All Leather". Can is in excellent condition. The last is a smaller version of the same Johnson's Wax can, with the same graphics. The underside is different and has only script.
