BMODEMI i Is coal wasteful? It is not necessary for us to dwell on the subject of "Coal Waste." There are many articles nnd editorials on this subject nppcaring in magazines nnd newspapers. Even the coal coal dealer is sounding the alarm in advertisements! There is only one solution to this admittedly serious problem: Instead of "laying in" wasteful fuel now. just place your order for the "HOT WAVE." Automatic Gas Fired Boiler. The "HOT WAVE" method must not be con fused with former attempts to utilize gas for heating purposes. Ask us to explain the BIG reason why the "HOT WAVE" is the most efficient source of heat supply. rUMV OUAIIANTI'.HI, Wnte for llookM ClC IITITITTFC SMTC fOMPArWc'PHTT.AS iij J- j JL, X XmJm. J.

Get the The Serviceov Manufacturer Intended "&u S ould EVERY car owner knows what a difference it makes whether he gets a fresh live tire or one that has stood around on some dealer's shelf for a 6cason or two. Odds and ends, a job lot of this and that, are just as much a hardship to the dealer as to his customers. Nobody wants them or will take them if he knows it. The dealer does not like to sell them, but he has them on his hands and there you are. What the dealer wants is a quick moving line of tires and tubes. Tires and tubes that come to you fresh out of the factory alive with the service the maker put into them. You see now why so many dealers are concentrating on the one line of tires sure to meet the wishes of ninety-five per cent of their customers. Why they are doing away with a little of this, a little of that, and the odd lots that stick on the shelves. In short, the progressive dealer is looking for tires that will meet his own sense of responsibility to his customers his careful selection of tires and his careful handling of them in his store. Concentration on United States Tires and Tubes is the business policy of thousands of tire dealers today and hun dreds more are coming to this great and dependable line every month. The United States Rubber Company ha3 always been in terested in seeing that you get Un United States the right service out of your tires. It selects its dealers with that end in view. It builds a line of tires on which a dealer can concentrate and still have the variety, to meet the needs of every individual car owner. A complete and finished lincf for all roads and in all sizes. At prices consistent with what car owners have learned to look for in high-quality tires. More tire dealers arc conccn trating on U S. Tires and Tubes all the time. Trade with them. Get the advantage of their superior purchasing power and their quicker turn-over. It is one sure way to get the fresh, live tire service the maker intended you to get. s Tires ubber Company Tire Division Branch, 329-331 N. Broad St. "; 1 ' 'f ;iffn f jjg I' & V f. j.f gg, ,-
