Disastrous fires and lives lost often

leaking causing explosions. Be on the
safe side, see that your work is done
by capable mechanics. Consider what
a man must have to be a first class
plumber. There is no master OF
plumber can rightfully call himself a
plumber unless he has had at least
four years Of practical experience. The
man In charge of our plumbing has
had years of experience, both practi-
cal and as the master.
Even the masters OF our shop are
practical mechanics. We are not men
Of some other business using plumb
Ing as side line, we are in the
plumbing business because we are
plumbers, 1t Is the business we have
followed all our life, its the business
we always will follow. its the business
we were actually cut out for and we
know We are capable Of giving our
customers square deal. Come let us
prove 1t, see the work we are doing
then compare II with theirs. Do you
know that plumbing Is something that
Is dealing with your health. In most
states plumbing is carefully guarded
by the board df health. We often find
in homes some member of the family
continuously i'll not know what the
trouble is, when 1t is nothing more
than to odor from the defective plumb

tary job. We ask you to compare and
get the best, then we will without a
doubt get our share OF the business,
and we will assure you that 1t will
not cost you the installing price next
