A WARNING TO
HOUSEWIVES
w no Have Diamonds,
Jewelry, Silverware

Don't use a silver polish that re-
moves silver when polishing; that
wears by leaving a dark metallic stain
on linen, etc. Polishing silver where
there is no tarnish, as such rubs off
some silver each time when polishing,
and silver polished with such injur-
ious pOlishes will lose the luster after
being washed a few times; it will
have a dull, old, white or tin appear
ance and require so much attention
and labor polishing so often.
The pride of a painstaking house
wife centers in her home and dining
table equipment, especially her silver
ware, keeping it the standard of per
lection. These important results can
be accomplished by the using of
McGary's Universal Silver and Jewelry
Polish, (put it on your shopping list

office, and received the highest award
on merits, economy, labor saving, ar

1900. Worlds fair, St Louis, 1904,
which is the very highest recommen-
dalton that the intelligence OF man
kind can possibly bestow upon a sill
yer and jewelry polish. its superiority

antee of Fred Bleuer, jeweler and opti-
clan. 1902 Second avenue, who rec

This polish was recognized as the on
" polish in the worlds contest, that
did not remove silver when polishing,
and that cleaned out and polished TO
the bottom Of the chased, engraved,
repousse, artparts, and will remove all
tarnlsh and former polishes left in
those parts for many years, and will
restore old silver 10 its original ap
pearance and will retain the same as
long as new silver.
