Default ok, what is this wrench really?

I got an adjustable wrench at a club's auction yesterday, looks like this
one

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...photo hosting

on one side it says "THE ELGIN", on the other side it has a star logo that
says ELGIN vertically, and the G is the first letter of Genuine, and the I
is the first letter of Improved, and it says trade mark registered June 8,
1897, Jan 9, 1906, may 20, 1913

the jaws are obvious, but the small and large holes in teh handle are not
obvious - what the heck are they for? what was the purpose if this wrench?
