ton given him and Gen. George Lit
tletield. of Austin, Tex, by local
Daughters of the .Confederacy, mt
the home of DR.. A. T. Mckinney. A
large number of representative cit
liens were present and new enthu-
siasm was aroused in the memorial
project by the speech of Gen. Young
and that of Gen. Littlefield, who had
come here from Texas for the pur-
pose of visiting the park and who
has signiied his intention OF sub
stantially aiding in the work.
This morning the visitors and
number of Confederate veterans
were taken on motor trip over the
model road between Elkton and
Russellville, part of the Jefferson
Davis highway, after which they left

|'Let the buyer beware"

Where electrical work is done by contract
the work being "let" to contractor for fixed
changes in the original specifications may
mean additional cost Rightly used, this prac-
tce of charging for "extras" is perfectly fair to
both parties. 1t allows you to add features to
your electrical equipment which you may have
overlooked at the start or Improvements which
at first you did not think you could afford
But extras may also be the "life savers
of the irresponsible electrician. If this type of
contractor finds-as is only too often the case
that he has figured his price too low-here is
the golden opportunity to make up his>loss and
then some!
On the other hand, il a responsible and COM
petent contractor is doing your work you will
pay fair price and will know that extras
