ICE
Cash and Carry
Stations
(fejfjL f fi | ' ' ' \i,"°
These stations are for the use of anyone who
may need ice, rich and poor alike. We will be glad
to sefrve you whether you come for your ice with a
wheelbarrow or a seven-thousand-dollar limousine.
Alspure Ice stations are located as follows:
3rd & Delaware Sts.
3rd near Boas St.
Green & Sayford Sts,
4th near Hamilton St.
sth & Woodbine Sts.
6th & Hamilton Sts.
6th & Columbia Sts.
7th & Woodbine Sts.
Forster & Cowden Sts.
13th & Walnut Sts.

15th & Chestnut Sts.
16th & Swatara Sts.
18th & Forster Sts.
20th & Derry Sts.
Race & Nagle Sts.
27th St., Penbrook, Pa.
The "cash and carry" price for Alspure Ice is about 40 per
cent, less than the wagon rates. For five cents you get as much
ice as the "wagon" sells for ten cents. This is a saving of 50 per
cent.
Alspure Ice is made from clear sparkling water that has been
filtered, boiled, distilled, reboiled, skimmed and again filtered.
It is marvelous the care we take to make a cube of glistening
purity.
You may use Alspure Ice in kitchen or sick-room with abso
lute safety.

Today's Beauty Talk
You can enjoy a delightful sham
poo with very little effort and for a
trifling cost, if you get from your
druggist a package of canthrox and
dissolve a teaspoonful in a cup of
hot water. This makes a f"l< cup
of shampoo liquid—enough so it is
easy to apply it to all the hair in
stead of just the top of the head.
Your shampoo is now ready. Just
pour a little at a time on the scalp
and hair until both are entirely cov
ered by the daintily perfumed prep
aration that thoroughly dissolves
and removes every bit of dandruff,
excess oil and dirt. After rinsing,
the hair dries qnickly with a flufTi
ness that makes it seem heavier than
it is, and takes on a rich luster and
a softness that makes arranging it
a pleasure.
