it's success along fraternal lines. The

falls of older societies and presents all
that is new in the line of fraternal
work.

is too well known as successful
fraternal man to need introduction
throughout the western . fraternal
world. A hustler in securing bust
ness and an untiring teacher of his
methods to organizers has placed him
in a position second to none in the
work on the Pacific coast.
Charles Strong, supreme vice presl-

and bother of weighing up the ice.
1t was very unsatisfactory condi-
tion. We recognized it. For years we
have tried to overcome it, NOW we
have succeeded.
The new service is most satisfactory
in other ways, too. The old-time ice
driver is a thing of the past SO far as
we are concerned.
You will find our new drivers cour-
teous and accommodating. They are
not like the drivers you had to put up
with in former years. They have
courteous, willing service for you, and
not the Smart talk and door-slam-
ming of other days.
Make it a point to ask for the rule
and table we mention-just telephone
us. And let us serve you with ice.

It is a satisfactory ice service
that furnished from the "Orange
wagons"
We leave with every customer who
wishes it one of our free Measuring
Rules and Tables of Ice Weights. By
using them our customers can tell the
exact weight of ice Extraordinarily
and accurately-with bothering to
weigh the ice.
This method enables you to check
us up. We can guarantee you full
weight ice. You can prove to your
complete satisfaction that you are get
ting it.
Under former conditions you faced a
question mark every time you looked
at the block of ice the driver left you.
You did not really know whether you
got fun weight or not-and very few
people have scales suitable for ice
weighing in their homes-or even if
they have, want to go to the trouble
