Hand Poppers

In figure 8 are shown types of hand poppers. A popper like No. 1 can be used for popping corn in butter and lard. A common skillet supplied with a tin lid will answer the same purpose. No. 4 is a favorite style of popper and is carried in stock by many stores. It costs only 10 cents. The only objection is its small size. No. 3 is a satisfactory homemade wire popper.
