The Dust-Proof Polish
THERE is nothing that so quickly, easily and
thoroughly polishes and removes finger-marks
and "cloudiness" from furniture and wood
work as Johnson's Prepared Wax. The polished
effect is lasting, because it gives a hard smooth surface
that docs not hold the dust. Use it on your
Desks
Linoleum
Automobiles
Pianos
Woodwork
Leather Goods
Floors .
Furniture
Golf Ctubs, etc,
and see for yourself how good it is.'

You will find Johnson's Cleaner unequalcd for,
removing stubborn spots and stains from fiirniturc
wookwork, white enamel, floors and, in fact, all

permanently removes spots and stains that other
cleaners won't touch. Specially good for ink spots.

' Free !
Piano' Lesson
will appear in next Sunday's Public Ledger, and the thou
sands of Ledger readers who easily mastered the first
lesson are keenly anticipating the arrival of the next, lesson.
You, too, should learn to play the piano or organ by this
Simplified method. If you were unfortunateenough to miss
.. last;-'Sunday's lesson, order your newsdealer to reserve a
copy of next Sunday's Public Ledger for you. ,
Here is what the President of a large Piano Manu
facturing .concern has to say regarding the Ledger's Free
Piano Lessons:
tftaniLAinA1
seconds count
NEWSPAPERS work in seconds not
days, hours, or even minutes.
Speed is the rule in all departments.
It is especially the case in placing newly
printed editions in the hands of readers.
Keen rivalry the endeavor to print and
deliver the news first has eliminated the horse
and cart once so generally used. Something
faster, more .dependable, less easily tired is
' considered essential today.
This is one reason why two of Philadel
phia's leading newspapers have recently pur
chased a total of 32 Garfords for this highly
important task.
The Evening Telegraph ordered a fleet
of 28.
The Public Ledger installed 4, to supple
ment the Garfords used so successfully dur
ing the past two years.
Other metropolitan dailies are also find-'
ing Garfords eminently suited for their work.
For Garfords have speed commensurate
with the exacting service required by news
papers. They have the stamina the unfailing
dependability which assures safe, prompt
delivery in spite of the severest weather or
traffic conditions.
Their great strength their tremendous
surplus of power makes them eminently suited
for any work where speed is vital where
seconds are counted instead of hours or
minutes.
The (unusually wide range of Garford
styles and sizes enables us to offer a motor
truck to meet in every single respect the moBt
exacting conditions of any delivery or trans
portation service.

very great assistance to anyone who is study

(., .
If the soholar onoe raanters the scales
and obords, such as your lessoro'teaoh, he will
have a very fine foundation1 for a muaioal educa

aucceos to tier early praotice of these fundamental
requirements for piano playing.
