"He Who Hesitates
 Is Saved!'

The man who delays starting up his house heating apparatus until the bit ing cold weather is actually upon us will save many dollars and much disa- ereeabie work Frequently these first frosty mornings and chilly nights the greater part of the day will prove to be mild and delightful. One or two modern odorless gas radiators will give you all the heat you need for that morning dip in the right temperature, and to insure a cheerful, warm dining room, light it an hour or so in the eve ming if you feel the need, where you read or play that game of bridge. Our prices are low. Consult us; we may be able to suggest the right stove for the right purpose Remember the gas range saves time saves work, saves dollars every day in the year, the cleanest and best way to cook.
