Don was wondering.......

Can you tell me what the USE stands for on my newly acquired
R. Groves and Sons sash/tenon saw?
Thanks....

*************************

I just knew I could answer at least one query today.....

Robert Groves entered into business with this sons after a falling out with
his evil twin, Donald Terwilliger. Being of a somewhat sarcastic nature and
bent, Rob  couldn't resist a  play on words in his touchmark. His brother
Don, you see,  would have had to put DON T. USE on his saws in order to
keep his status in the marketplace.

And that is the gospel truth.....
