Mr. Crosby. together with Thomas

speaking of the trip Mr. Crosby said
THE party had stopped at Rich

yet to be made. bringing the car in
which we made that mission back to
New York on May 30 We hope the re-
suit has been beneficial
Most of the. street railway officials
who have very Hospitality and elab-
orately received us and organized
baDquets for facilitating our speech
making, assure us that the frank dis
cussions such as we made would be
of benefit in their communities
AS to the general appearance Of
things, is is some qualification for
me to state that the observations of
my associates as we'll as my own OBJ
servations were 10 the effect that the
old south and the new southwest In
Texas, are, perhaps, the most pro
gressive portions of our country just
now.
This does not mean that a greater
number of new people are settling in
the old south, but the people who are
there are improving their conditions
very rapidly To the traveller there Is
certainly as much. If not more, obvi-
Gus progress in the way Of new build
ings than in other parts of the coun-

will be difficult to obtain them.
Come into our display room and LET us show
you some of the summer electrical contrivances.
Find out for yourself just how much comfort ysB

more to run than an ordinary electric lamp; or an
iron which will save you the heat of fire used to
heat the other kind. If your house is not equipped
with electric lights talk that over at the same time
