The Yale expositor. (Yale, St. Clair County, Mich.) 1894-current, 1908-12-11

near the Yale State Bank, as they do
plumbing, heating, lighting, gas fitting,
sheet iron and tin work. AS we must
have everything in their line done this
is the very firm to do that work for us.
They sell the Ideal boilers and radia-
tors, lighting and switches. They han
die the Gold and Green Label plumb
ing goods manufactured by the Sani-
tary Mfg. Co., which are fully guaran-
t9ed. Schlegelmlch x Sweet are both
practical men, Mr.. Schlegelmlch being
an electrician, while Mr.. Sweet is a
practical plumber. The firm have done
the plumbing for George Mcintyre,
Dick Houghton, John Staley, George
Allen and many others, besides the
plumbing and lighting in the churches
and schools" The aforesaid plumbers
got the contract, did just what Uncle
Bill said, and they made themselves
solid for all future work.
"Having provided you with cage
for the Bird" said Uncle Bill, ''now the
first thing we'll look after is the fur
nishings for it," Hereupon Fannie en-
ergetically declared that she had heard
so much about Arthur V. Parmlee, the
leading furniture dealer of Yale, that
she had decided to go there for furni-
ture. The result was that they were
ushered into such bewildering display
of medium and high grade furniture
that the girl was first at loss to know
how to select. But she soon yielded to
the seductiveDess of magnificent par
lor suit of mahogany that would do
credit to any parlor in town. To this
she added rocker and a fine Acme
couch for Uncle Bill, and also one of
those elegant $1,000 golden oak finished
bed room sets for the servant girl, and
didn't forget most convenient and
ornamental writing desk for Hubby
John" They also bought handsome
china closet at Parmlee's. ale is also
licensed embalmer and funeral direc.
tor" dryly remarked Uncle Bill.
"A pretty good start" said the old
man, "and now we will go down to
John Hutton's big store for our hard
ware, stoves, tinware, etc. Here Fam
MES housewifely instinct had full play
in the marvels of kitchen apparatus.
There is not an establishment i'm this
section that carries a more comprehen.
sive stock of household furnishings
than John Hutton" remarked Uncle
Bill, "every possible piece of kitchen
furniture from a dipper to cooking
range is here in allstyles and varieties"
If Fannie fails to accomplish wonders
in the culinary art, it will not be for
the want of superior cooking utensils,
for she purchased Sterling range and
also Garland heater for hard or soft
coal for winter use and other articles
for her home, together with Sherwin-
Williams paints, oils and varnishes for
their new house, while John bought
Anthony and Pittsburg wire fence and
left an order for eavestroughing for all
the buildings.
"But look here, Uncle" interrupted
the young man as they reached the
street, "what about coal? We've got
the stoves, but reckon they won't be
of much service without fuel. We can
not keep warm on love alone, can we? ?"
81 am glad you mentioned it," replied
Uncle Bill. Buying so much in one
day kinder befuddles fellow. Fortu-
nately, however, it is only a short dis
tance back again to the Yale Lumber
q Coal Co.'s coal Office and lumber
yards that are located nearly opposite
the PMRR depot. They are my favor
ite dealers and sell good coal that burns
up clear and leaves no clinkers. They
screen coal to make it clean, so / will
buy my coal from this old reliable firm.
They sell hard and soft coal and al
ways give full weight and prompt de-
livery. Now is the time to lay i'm your
winters supply of hot stuff"
"Uncle Bill" said Fannie, "I shall be
so lonesome here without a piano in
our house. Is there any person here
who handles pianos?" swell | should
think sol There is j. w. Cavanagh of
the Yale Music Co. who is the general
agent here for the celebrated Starr,
Chase, Richmond and Corl pianos"
"Why, those are all splendid pianos"
said Fannie, "and are among the finest
pianos made" Uncle Bill was seen to
examine his pocketbook rather lugubri-
ously. 81 think can afford it," said
