Carter & Co - Axe

Pulaski Carter was one of the first settlers in Providence, PA and established his ax works in 1841.  His business was widely known as the "Capouse Works of Polaski Carter". 
 
Some labels on the axes read; "This AXE is entirely forged, neither press punch or drop being used. The material is the very best obtainable.  Particular care exercised in every process of manufacture and each Axe carefully Tested. It is not warranted. We know it is good."  The firms’ axes were their great specialty.
 
Their motto was;  "To make nothing but the very best axe, which has always been known as a great favorite with lumbermen".  Carter successfully sold tools against their competitors, who warranted their goods.  But the widespread reputation of the Carter Superior Cast Steel Axes required no warranty, as their relative merits and good qualities were both well and widely known.
