that, as well as the fresh air that is

1t might be stated here that the writer

rectly from outside the building at a
temperature sufficient to ignite a match

being true, it would be useless to fur

PARKER MANUFACTURING COMPANY BUILDING STOVE ONI
AN ENTIRELY NEW PRINCIPLE AND SELL 1T EXTENSIVELY

This corporation was organized under
the laws of Alabama for the purpose,
principally, to manufacture and sell the
Parker fresh air heating and ventilating
system, invented and patented by Ell
Jackson Parker of Florence, Ala.
The personnel of the Parker Manufae-
turing company, the writer thinks, should
be mentioned here:
w. N. Graham, the president, is one of
the leading merchants of Florence, and is
a finaneier of exceptional ability, which
is conceded by all who know him.
The vice president, Hon. S. w Frierson,
is one of the leading attorneys of the
Florence bar, and one of the largest prop
erty owners in this section
N. P. Morrison, former mayor of Flor
ence, and one of it's most public spirited
citizens, and one of the leading under
takers of north Alabama, is secretary and
sales manager.
Hon. c. E. Jordan, attorney for the
Southern railroad and leading member
of the Florence bar, and city commits
soner for Florence. is treasurer.
E. j. Parker, the inventor and patentee
of the Parker fresh air heating and ven
tilating system, is superintendent of me-
chanical and advertising departments.
The inventor. at the request of the
writer, demonstrated in detail all the fea
lures of the system of heating and VEN
tilating in his presence, and am plea sed
to say that the system is all that is
claimed for it.
The system is constructed on scientific
principles, which were carefully worked
out by the inventor, after much study of
the needs of the school room, which we
all know to be comfortable heat and thor
ough ventilation.
The stove is built of the best materials
and is as nearly indestructible as good
workmanship and good materials can
make.
The stove proper is surrounded by an
asbestos-lined jacket, for the purpose of
protecting the children who might acct
dentally come in contcat, or have to sit
too near the stove, and as it heats alto
gether by circulating heat, one is just as
comfortable in one part of the room as
another from the fact that the asbestos

For the past five years, he has been

a force of 20 men, and the product of
his plant is going all over the south

McBrine Letter Clears Meyer.

To friends at the state house Leo
Meyer, formerly secretary of state of
Oklahoma, is exhibiting photo
graphic reproduction of the McBrine
letter, written from the state peni-
Tertiary, July 6, 1915, that exonerates
Meyer of charges that caused the
former state secretaly's retirement
from office. 4.
1t is said that, after his conviction,
w. R. McBrine remarked to Judge
A. H. Houston of Guthrie his only
regret was that he had not killed At
torney General Charles West and that
he had done anything to injure Leo
Meyer.
The letter, which was written inside
the penitentiary at McAlester dated
July 6, 1915, and is attested by w.
c. Kendall, notary public, reads, in
part:
"Theefore, for the benefit of tho
public, your family, ana yourself, re-
tract anything l have said or done,
connecting you in any way whatsoever
with these transactions.
Il am writing this of my own free
will and accord and trust that 1t will
be accepted with the same sincerity in
which it is written.
you may use this letter In any
way you desire to further your COM
plete vindication."
