What Is
PURIFINE?

It Is the new disinfectant which
has superseded all other disinfect-
ants, being q scientific compound,
having no odor, yet possessing the
qualities of powerful disinfectant.
The automatic distributor should
be PLACID in every house in Homo
lulu where odors and germs of dis
ease exist. They are placed free
of charge, taken care of and kept
working day and night for $1.00
per month. It's an innovation, but
on scientific principles. and ap-
peals to everyone of common sense.
The idea is this: The distributor
drops two drops a minute, day and
night. Foul doors are killed, yet
no disagreeable smell Of carbolic
acid or crude disinfectants takes
its place. You don't know that a
powerful disinfectant is being used
IL you judge by the lack of odor.
But it's doing the duty-doing 1t
well. Can we show you the Ideal
Automatic Distributor? Our Mr.
Washburn will call, If you'll tele-
phone to
