LADY GETS
THE FIRST
OUTPUT

The first product of the Jones Dish
washer, now manufactured in Ham
mond, went out as Christmas pres
ent this morning, Mrs. Richard Siebert
of the Hammond building restaurant
being the happy recipient.
The machine is of big size, for restau-
rants, and is finely enameled in white
and bronze striped. The machine was
given to Mrs. Siebert by the Jones
Dishwasher people as a token of appre-
citation because of her generosity in
giving the company the use of her res
taurant for their demonstration. She
had practically forgotten all about the
little favor when she was reminded of
the fact that the Jones' Dishwasher
people have a motto. which says that
"One good turn deserves another"
