inations'between the rates

examinations between the rates
terms given our patrons and we there
fore ask them all for contract that
there be no Misunderstanding as to
terms, rates and conditions. Should
the contract customer move from the
place where their service is rendered
under the contract, it terminates the
contract at that time. Another rea-
son for our offering this contract is
that it has been represented that we
were liable at any time to advance
rates. This contract shows conclu-
sively that this report is absolutely
without foundation in fact.
Our present schedule comes the
nearest to placing all consumers on
an equal basis that it is possible to
make, and give to each patron the
service at satisfactory price, con-
sidering the volume of business given
us. ii If there is anything in our con-
tract that is unsatisfactory to our
patrons and which has not been ex-
planned, we will be pleased to take
it up and fully explain any point
which is not thoroughly explained
herein. We feel that as a large part
of our patrons have already signed
our contract, the talk which is being
made about it, has but little effect
with anyone, and by this time it is
thoroughly understood that the COM
plants which are being made are for
the purpose of venting personal spite
rather than for stating facts regard.
ing our business relations with the
people here, and the claim as to the
rates being excessive are also alb
solutely proven to he without founda

That Bishop Warne is one of the
strongest men in the College of Bis
hops Of the church, is needless to say.
His position as General Superintendent
of the onward march of the church, in

Our Rate Contract

There seems to be considerable
misunderstanding existing as to our
present charges for electric light and
power services in Morris, as the
claim is made that we have advanced
rates, also have called for contrac.
that is contrary to any method adopt
ed by any electric light company, and
that the contract was entirely in our
favor and entirely against the interest
of our patrons
We would say our rate was Is cents
for the smallest quantities and was
graded from that down to 6 cents
per K. W. In our new schedule of
rates adopted May LIST we have re-
tanned the old charge of Is cents per
K. W. for any and all service except
inhg under special contract. For
contract for one year from May LIST
we will make minimum charge of
81. 90 per month for the amount of
current consumed. Where the amount
exceeds 81. 90 our charge is IL cents
for all or any part of the first SO K.
W. and for any part of the second Sc
K. W. consumed our charge is 8 cents
per K. w Hour all amount con-
sumed in excess of 100 K. W. Hour
charge is 6 cents per K. W. These
rates are also for power where the
motor in service is less than 2 horse
power. Our minimum charge fol
motor service, where the motor is {
horse power or more, is so cents pei
horse power per month, for all motor
service in excess of this amount the
rate is cents per K. W.
Our reasons for asking for con
tract are that We can make no dis

Why the $3.50 Price?
Why such a car at this price7"

why such car at this price?''
Here's the reason: For years we have
built high priced cars, educated our me-
chanics to greater skill, developed our
factory until we now are able to produce
the Cross Country.
The Rambler was first to offer a real
bicycle for less than $780, The Rambler is
now first to offer a real car below So, 900.
The public is ready. The Cross Country is
here-it's the flag bearer for 1e12-sure to
be Rambler year. To see this car is to
want it-write for the name of the nearest
dealer-ask for the Rambler Catalog.

Delight to Drivers

You must experience the feel of that
Cross Country wheel. It's delight. Think
of the unconscious ease with which you
guide bicycle. It's just that. Your arms
don't tire. Your legs don't cramp. Both
levers are inside and the sound of the motor
just the sweetest hum that turns instantly
into snappy roar when the cut-out is
open.
Silent, long and lean, with swift moving
lines, the Cross Country has grace, sugges-
ton of speed and beauty of contour.
