The recent fire has emphasized the fact that too much care can- not be exercised in the use and storage of gasoline.
 Where a gasoline stove is kept it is absolutely necessary that a permit for same be attached to your policies of fire insurance.
 No charge is made for these permits and as we cannot always know that you have these stoves we request that you look over your policies and bring them to us for endorsement, if required. PHILLIPS & FERGUSON AGENCY.

LETTER TO MIR. R. F. DRUM
 MOND, NEWPORT, ARK.

Dear Sir: Good yarn: How we got our agent at Delhi, N. Y. Gladstone & Paine were agents for - -, we mustn' t tell names. We wanted 'em. Paine was painting his big Colo nial house. Said it took 10 gal Ions of white for the trim.
 We sent him ten gallons and said: if you get it all on, no pay; if you have any left, return it and pay for the rest. Agreed.
 He returned four gallons and and took the agency. Four or five years ago. He knows now that his old paint was and is adulter- ated; that's why it took ten gal Ions to equal six of ours.
 Go by the name; there is but one name to go by; Devoe lead and-zinc.
