Both OF these Refrigerators we
have carried for years, and we
are acquainted with their merit.
This year they are better than
ever before. We know the prin-
ciples upon which they are made
are right; we are satisfied with
their durability and sanitary fea-
lures; we stand unreservedly
back OF their economical con-
sumption Of ice and their 100 per
cent protection OF food. Refrig-
orators that we can and do guar
antee.
Here are some important points to
remember:
Cork insulation; the highest grade
insulation used in retrlgerators;
always specified by the govern
ment when ordering refrigerators.
White enameled lining or white
porcelain lining; easy to keep
clean.
Rustless removable steel wire
shelves.
Drip pipe and all fittings easily re-
moved for cleaning.
Various styles, sizes and designs for
every need, ranging from Is pound
10 $50 pound ice capacity, with
accommodations ccordingl
Cases are of solid oak, with the
popular round corners, and finely
finished.
UNCERTAINTIES year we
have moved the Refrigerators
to the Housefurnishing Sec
tion-their proper location
and we believe you will find
choosing more satisfactory.

Have Strong Popular Support.

In the cities which he visited the jit-
9eys are receiving strong popular sup
port, and it is his opinion that they
can be operated at a profit, particularly
where cars of the cheaper type are en-
ployed as to which the cost of opera
ton and maintenance is small. He said
he rode and talked with scores of jit
ney bus operators and all of them
Chained to be operating their cars at
profit, their average receipts being be-
tween Sc and S. a day, and the cost OF
operation being about $3.50, which in
Guided 81 a day laid aside for deprecia-
ton. These figures. Mr.. Syme believes,
are approximately correct SO far as the
cheap type of car is concerned.

| NTNEY BUS SERVICE
IN SOUTH AND WEST
Corporation Counsel Syme Says in
Many Cities System Has
Strong Support.

Jitney buses are reducing the rev.
enues of the street railway companies
in New Orleans, Los Angeles. San
Francisco, Kansas City and st. Louis
at the rate of more than $1,000 a day,
according to Conrad II. Syme, corpora
ton counsel of the District. who has
just returned to Washington from an
extended trip through the south and
west
Mr. Syne went west to look after the
interests of himself and his father.
Col. Sam Syme, in a valuable land
claim which was involved in litigation
in the federal court of Arizona; also
to study the jitney bus situation in
the cities where this new type of car
rer is most strongly intrenched and
TO visit the Panama Pacific exposition.
He obtained a favora BILE court ruling
which secures his interest in a tract
of land valued at over s1.000.000. found
that the jitneys are giving the street
railway companies lots of concern i'll
the west and returned with great en-
thusiasm over the exposition
Municipal Railway System.
What also interested the Districts
legal adviser was the municipal street
railway of San Francisco. This ven
ture on the part of the western city. he
declared, is proving a success. me
line bisccts the city, with branches ex-
tending in all directions, with a total
mileage of about twenty-five miles OF
double tracks. 1t is being opera
with ii better Roadway and finer equip
ment than the privately owned lines,
and is making money. Also, better
wages are paid it's employees, and its
service is receiving the strongest klnu
of popular support, Mr.. Syme stated.
AS for the jitneys, concerning which
Mr. Syme will make a special report to
the public utilities commission, these
conveyances, he declared, do not con-
stitutc, Il fad or mere transient
thing, but have come into existence be-
cause of the demand of the public for
a more Immediate and elastic form Of
transportation, particularly in the bust
ness part of cities.
