VIC tIy W IldkS our GuhiOiil-
ers' interests ours. Nothing
pleases us more than a pleased
customer-nothing dissatislies us
more than a dissatisfied one. We
can't please every one-although
we try to-but our constant ef-
forts to take care OF those peo-
pie who place confidence IN us
has brought us such results as to
convince us that we are in the
right way of trading. If there
was better method of doing
business we would be the first to
adopt it.
The term "Semi Porcelain"
used in describing table ware is a
much abused one. Real "Semi
Porcelain" is what its name i'm
plies-half china-for porcelain,
or porcelaine, is the true name
for the ware commonly known
as china. Porcelain is vitriiied-
that is the body of the ware and
the glaze unite in the last firing,
making a compact and homo
genous substance. Earthenware
is composed of soft and porous
body and a hard glaze-the un-
equal expansion and contraction
of the glaze and body causing
the cracked appearance of the
glaze commonly called Grazing.
True "Semi Porcelain" is the
link between these wares. Partly
vitriiied, it cannot craze or dis
color when Clipped. Beng
composed of tougher and less
brittle clays it will not chip OF
break as readily as china. Most
of the ware offered and sold as
"Semi Porcelain" is earthenware
pure and simple. We show SC
patterns of dinner sets in real
"Semi Porcelain" guaranteed
against crazing-and far superior
TO china for everyday wear. AL
are equal in quality-but the
amount or style of decoration
makes much difference in price
They're all far cheaper than sucf
goods can be bought anywhere
else in the country.
The "Little Prince" lamp
takes the same size wick as the
old style student-but is twenty
years ahead of it in construction
combustion, light-giving proper
ties and convenience. 1t is not I
large lamps not meant to be
but 1t is all the more convenien,
for that reason. Complete will
