The originator of this great institution, A. Montgomery Ward, established the oldest mail order house in the world In a small room in Chicago nearly sixty years ago. Strict in- tegrity and application of the Golden Rule gradually brought a recogni- tion that constantly spread antil today their wares go out to all parts of the world. Today there are nine mall order houses bearing this name, located at Fort Worth, Den- ver, Oakland, Portland, Chicago, Kansas City, Baltimore, Albany and St. Paul. About three years step was taken in a plan to take their merchandise to the customer, when a retail store was opened in the state of Kansas, This plan of extension has been continuously carried on until today there are ap- proximately 600 fine department stores located in most every state in the Union.

Treat the old bus to a new coat at this time. One great advantage which we have over our ancestors is that our life is less monotonous than theirs. This opportunity for change has giv- en rise to a very natural liking for change. This liking for change is one of the characteristics of the presont generation. Man only pro- gresses through change, and when people become dissatisfied with the old order, whén they continuously desire something new and something better, then we are at least sure that the world is not going back- wards. Next to their wives, men like their automobiles probably better than anything else. And just as they like to see thelr wives In a new dress occasionally, so they like to change or renovate the appearance of their automobiles. It lessens the monotony of looking at the same old car. To take away this monotony, to make rea- on commercial body smi SH QUITE A SCARE The doctor looked down at his pa tient and shook his head doubtfully, “You say you have the same night revi every night,” he sald, “what is “1 dream that I'm married, doctor,” sald the palefaced man. “To whom 1” inquired the doctor, The patient grimaced, “To my present wife,” he replied. “That's what makes it a nightmare!” people appreciate their cars more is the purpose of all these well known auto painters, who have made many of the community's cars look like new and last the family a few years longer. But another great reason for hav ing the car repainted is the expense it saves. Littie need to be said about economy of having a car painted. It not only improves the appearance of the car but it actually makes the body last longer. Any- one knows that a house well painted will stand years longer. The same is true of an automobile, And an automobile renovated by careful re- painting may save buying a new car. But an automobile poorly repainted is worse than leaving on the old paint. Nothing is so displeasing to the eye as a badly repainted auto- mobile. And this company is truly fortunate in having convenient paint. ers who are truly artists in their work. For painting an automobile is indeed an art. At this shop you need have no fears but that your automobile will be repainted as well if not better than it would be in the highest class metropolitan shops. And the cost will be much less. The management and assistants of this thriving business have made a name for themselves in the com- munity. = SEIT NOTICE TO MOP SALESMAN They were visiting friends one eve ning. Presently thelr three year-old son became restless, The hostess, no ticing this, gave him a soft rubber ball to play with. During the course of his play the ball rolled under the dav: enport, and the little fellow crawled in after it. Presently the hostess asked him If he saw the ball He replied, “No.” “Then why don't you come out? “I'm drawing pictures on the floor.” ~Boston Transcript, His Purpose One Sunday we took my little cous in, Armin, age four, to a restaurant to dinner.

The old fashioned stove was not invented until cen- turies of suffering matured the idea that brought relief from the open fire. Then after many years comes the centralized heating plant {n the cellar instead of stoves In every separate room, And the automatic oll burner was not invented until humanity rebelled against cellar serfdom, dirt, fluctu- ating temperatures and coal strikes. The ofl burner has been called ‘one of the greatest inventions.” In measuring its benefits to man, the automatic oil burner has been compared with the electric light. The electric light saves the eye sight and lengthens the hours of play. The Torrid Heat Oil Burner saves bealth, eliminates drudgery and dirt, and makes life more enjovable.

Generally It is estimated that from 120 to 200 gal- longs of oll equal one ton of coal You see the wide range. One rea- son for this is because the relative heating efficiency of oil burners varies greatly according to the type of burner. A Torrid Heat Oil Burner may save you money over coal--and It may cost you a few dollars more.
