CEDAR SHINGLES
ARE ADVANCING
Brisk Demand, Log Shortage,
Light Production Send
Prices Skyward
CAR SHORTAGE is FEARED
After Trying Patent Roofings,
Farmers Are Returning
to Use Of Shingles

SEATTLE, Aug. 21.-So brisk is
the demand for Washington red cedar
shingles and so limited the supply
that prices are jumping by leaps and
bonds. Yesterday the price of Star
shingles advanced to 50 at the mills,
with a few wholesalers Offering as
high as $2.05. These are the highest
prices paid for shingles since 1907.
In September, 1901 the price of Stars
touched 50 ~ and the average price
for the year was $2.39. IN 1907 spe-
cial brands of both Stars and Clears
sold at substantial premiums.
The prediction was freely made III
shingle circles yesterday that moth
ing can prevent prices going higher.
A few even ventured the prediction
that before the present movemnt is
over shingle prices will touch the
highest level ever known in the
Northwest Clears We're quoted yes
terday at $235 to $2.4O at the mills.
In 1907 Clears average $2.67.
Fear Car Shortage
The prospect of a car shortage is
helping along the bull movement in
the shingle market. Retail stocks
in the East are light and several of
the leading wholesalers are buying
all the shingles they can get their
hands on
While prominent shingle manufac-
turers and wholesalers say that the
present boom in prices may invite
disaster. still they all declare that
conditions at the moment warrant
the prices now being offered.
bo foa
in the East are now good. following a
fine crop, taken in connection with
a production far below normal. are
two elements which are forcing up
the price of shingles" said whole
saler Yesterday. Five years ago we
We're cutting close to $4,000 carloads
Of shingles per year, whereas the
1912 cut will not exceed $4,000 cars,

Cedar Getting Scarce.
The fact OF the matter is cedar
lumber is getting scarce and high.
Then, too, it is difficult to get men
TO go into the woods to cut shingle
bolts.
The fact must not be overlooked
that many Of the patent roofnas
which have been much advertised in
the Middle West, and which have il
many instances taken the place OF
shingles. are turning ont to he poor
substitutes for shingles. Shinala
consumers are finding this out aftoI
uYinS the various kinds OF patent
roofues. | would not attempt to say
how much higher prices will go, but
the market is strong and the tendeu-
cy is upward ~
The elimination of the transit and
storage privileges by the railroads
about TO be announced is said to be
one factor in the present upward
movement.

Thermos does something that never was done before-t keeps hot without fire, keeps cold with out ice. In the saving of fuel and ice alone Thermos will pay for itself in thirty days time.
 To test the efficiency of Thermos, fill the bottle with chopped ce cork tightly and close with the screw cap cup, place in vessel of boiling water and boil for 72 hours, then lift out with bath towel (to keep from burning hands) and within the bot tie you will still have your ice. Remove the ice from bottle and fill with boiling hot water, cork tightly, pack in bucket of ice and salt, after "A hours lift out with bath towel (to keep from freez ing your hands) and you will still have within the bottle steaming hot water.
 There is really nothing wonderful about the principle of Thermos, in fact 1t is simple that the only wonder lies in the fact that the idea has never before been made practical use of. It is the em- pIoyment of the scientific fact that heat can not radate from center surrounded by a vacuum wall; wonderfully simple yet simply wonderful in the results obtained It is the invention of Professor ReinhoId Burger, of Berlin perfected and com merciazed by American brains.
 What Thermos does everybody wants done; what Thermos saves everybody wants saved That which pays for itself in one month is cheap at any price; therefore Thermos from $100 up is within the reach of every wage-earner in the land. Sup plying universal demand at price within reach of all, Thermos will unquestionaby have a univer- sal sale. Thernos is therefore standard piece of merchandise and will be carried in stock by all good dealers for that reason.
 There are fifty thousand dealers throughout the civilized world who now sell Thermos bottles. A large majority of this vast army of merchandisers have been under the impression that Thermos is luxury, an article for the sportsman, the automo- bilist, the yachtsman the hmtsman, the fisherman the traveller, an article to sell to the caniage-trade in a word luxury for the leisure classes. We have during the past "A months expended nearly
 quarter of million dollars in advertising to prove this impression and today in the largest cities of the country the greatest sale of Thermos products is to the great middle and wage-earning classes, used by them as a real necessity.
 ThermOs is a necessity for the home, every time baby is born into the world. Thermos is a neces- sity for the sick every time disease accident or old age terminates human life
 The young mother with bottle-fed infant gladly purchases two or more of these bottles SO that she may not be compelled to risk her health and the health of her chd to lose her rest through heating baby's bottle in the night. The home that contains aiIing aged person, will willingly ex- pend the sum necessary to provide for the comfort

 You can thus see that with the great necessity for Thermos at the beginning of life and the end ing of Iife with all the intermediate outlet during the seven ages of man intervening, it not but be staple article of merchandise.
 Physicians have tested Thermos and proved to their satisfaction that no chemicals employed, and are today unhesitatinsly prescribing ThermOs. Professional nurses are enthusiastic over its possi biIities in hospital wards and sick rooms. Railway employees, stone and brick nasons carpenters and all classes of skilled and common laborers are readily convinced of the value of Thermos to supply hot soup or coffee in winter ice cold tea, coffee or milk in summer at the monday meal miles from home or source of food supply.

The Count Zeppelin line of ar-ships in Germany em- ploy Thermos in the serving of food products to passengers one mile above the face of the earth All of the aeronauts carry TheEmos with them on their journeys through cloudland. Richard Hard ing Davis carried Thermos on his expedition to the Congo and displayed ice for the first time to the natives at the equator.
