THE POLICY WITH AN APPEAL

A policy which, if properly pre-
sented, should have very strong ap-
peal to most men, is the Perfect Pro-
lection Policy of the Reliance Life
Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, for
which ]. S. Santamaria, with offices
at 10 and Ill Kunkel Building, this
city, is local agent.
A policy at the age of thirty-five
years with annual premium of $101
insures you for the following benefits:
In event of natural death, $1,000; in
event of accidental death, S10. 900, and
in case of sickness or accident. S25
weekly indemnity is paid.
The above gives you an idea of Just
one of their many different policies.
Larger or smaller amounts may be
secured and the premium would be in
proportion. The price of these policies
fits to- days demand for maximum life,
accident and health protection at
minimum cost.
If you are thinking of taking any
insurance it would pay you to drop
Mr.. Santamaria a card giving your
name. age, occupation and address and
he will gladly send you further par
ticulars of the policy and cost pest
suited for your requirements.-Adv

HARRISBURG LUMBER HOUSES
CARRY COMPLETE STOCKS

Harrisburg contractors have 10 a
situation in this city, according to the
opinion of F. II. Hantzman, the lum-
ber man. whose yard is located at $50
Briggs street.
Although a considerable amount of
the building now being done on a
small scale is made of lumber pur-
chased from Harrisburg dealers. many
of the larger buildings are being con-
structed of lumber brought in from
other cities.
Mr.. Hantzman claims that almost
without exception the Harrisburg lum-
Der yards are capable of supplying
sufficient material to meet every nsed
contractor.
"Of course, builders may buy at a
trifie lower price when they get their
lumber from wholesalers" said Mr..
Hantzman. But they are Obliged to
buy in carload lots. and above the
initial cost must stand the loss which
usually accompanies such a consiSn-
ment. In addition to that they must
pay the expense of hauling the lumber
when il is delivered here.
when purchased from Harrisburg
dealers, on the other hand. the lum-
ber which is of as good quality as may
he had anywhere, is obtainable just as
it is needed and without the trouble
and expense of hauling from the cars.
So that in the long run contractors
who patronize Harrisburg lumber deal
ers save money and are better satisfied
| with what they receive"
Mr.. Hantzman has been in the lum-
ber business at the same location for
! over twenty-four years and with his
policy of square dealing and conserv-
ative business methods has built up a
very large business in his line. He
always has on hand a complete stock
| of rough and dressed lumber and mill
work of every conceivable nature. lie
has the local agency for Cornell Wood
! board and has just received a car fol-
| Spring business and would like to have
you call and see what can be accom-
plished in making a beautiful interior
with this material at small expense

MODERN BAKING METHODS

If II mas Deen ten years or more
since you have had the pleasure of Wis
iting the producing part of the inside
of a bakery, you would not recognize
the place to-day. A decade ago most
all the work was done by hand-the
mixing, the kneading, molding and
other parts of the work necessary in
the making of bread. Now machinery
of almost human intelligence has re-
placed manual labor, making the bread
more sanitary and making the output
unlimited and in a thoroughly clean
bakeshop.
The model and modern making
plant of Mr.. Schmidt. which is located
at the corner of Eighteenth and Holly
streets. and known as the Vienna
Bakery is an example of modern hak-
ing methods. First comes the giant
mixer, whose tireless arms will mix
and knead a couple of barrels of flour
in the time that it would take to mix a
small sack by hand labor. Then there
are other deft machines that divide
the dough into loaves of exactly the
same size and weight, mold 1t into
shape and pass it along to be proofed
and baked.
Last. but not least. are the ovens,
where the heat may be regulated al
most to a degree-raised, lowered or
maintained for hours, as may be de-
sired. Controlled conditions are the
present-day secrets of success in the
baking business. At Mr.. Schmtdt's
Vienna Bakery every ingredient is
carefully weighed or measured, every
operation is accurately timed, and par
ticular attention is paid to temperature
and humidity.
All who know the Schmidt brands OF
bread realize the fact that this bread
is made by people who know how.
Mr.. Schmidt is a firm believer in siv-
ing service as we'll as quality goods
to his customers and good materials,
good equipment, good workmen and
a good spirit are the things that make
Schmidt's bread so good. Just call
No. 1875 on the Bell phone and get a
sample order of this bread and YOU
may take our word for it when we tell
YOU that a trial loaf of this bread will
make YOU one of Mr.. Schmidts thou
sands of satisfied Observation-Disclosures

A TALK ON PIANOS

Although located out of the chief
business center of the city, l.. II. Par
themore, the piano dealer at 712
North Third street. has every reason
to be proud of his success.
Mr. Parthemore has been in the
piano business for over 20 years and
by his excellent management and
careful attention to the wants of the
general public in the music line he has
SECURED prominent position among
the music stores of this city.
Located as he is out of the high
rent district enables him to save a
purchaser from $50 to 500 on a piano
player for the reason that the over
head expense is practically nothing
compared with the downtown stores,
and as he is able to give all of his
own time to the business, thereby do
ing away with the expense of clerks
and statesmen, make it possible for
him to sell a plano or player at a
greatly reduced price, when compared
with other large and expensive piano
stores. Especially for the cash-as
cash talks here.
Now if you are contemplating pur-
chasing a piano 1t would certainly pay
you to see Mr.. Parthemore and have
talk with him, as we'll as ascertain
his extremely low prices.
He will be pleased to furnish you
with some valuable information re-
garding the purchasing of anything in
his line, and will quote you some
prices on pianos and players that will
astonish you.
Two of the leading lines represented
by Mr.. Parthemore are the Art-Tone
Ahlstrom and the sweet toned Lehr,
both of which are to be found among
the highest class of pianos on the mar
ket, and are particularly noted for
their remarkably refined quality of
tone.
They are the best that money can
buy and he would be glad to have the
opportunity of telling you the reasons
