n NE more bugbear gone to the
wall! Thank goodness few
of them do get rounded up,
and this time it is the fragile glass
filler" Of vacuum bottles, the part
which is ways breaking when most
needed. At the House Furnishing
Store Of ]. Franklin Miller, 1912
Chestnut street, they sell the Ferro-
stat, vacuum bottle in which the
glass is replaced by solid steel walls,
thus freeing it from the continuous
expense of broken parts. The in
terror and pouring surfaces are COW
cred throughout with highly glazed
enamel, giving it the same sanitary
qualities as glass and having no un-
sealed openings into which liquids
may leak it cannot become polluted.
1t comes in two sizes, quart bottles
for ordinary purposes and two quart
for automobilists or fishermen, who
evidently have greater thirsts.
4 T THIS season of the year
~ members of the family who do
not do the catering are apt to
be rather uppish about canned fruits,
but the busy little ant who manages
the household pays no attention to
the song and dance of these grass
hopperish people and goes about her
business of storing up supplies for
the coming months. At E. Bradford
Clarke Company. 1920 Chestnut
street, the J. II. Flickinger Brand of
Canned Fruits has just arrived from
San Jose, Cal, and are considered by
connoisseurs to be the best mar
keted. The white Royal Anne cher
ries, peaches in halves or slices,
green cages, Bartlett pears and apri-
cots, in thick syrup. are large, Sc
lected, tree-ripened fruits, and
having been packed on the spot, were
perfectly fresh and unbruised when
put into the quart cans.

coats at Jacob Reeds Sons, 1424-26
Chestnut street, for, though really
good overcoats are not plentiful, in
all shops. they have cleverly evolved
one which conserves material with
out sacrificing appearance. 1t is
double breasted model, fitting snugly
to the figure, and Joined ~ the waist
line, by welt seam, to a fiaring
skirt. Slashed (or straight) pock-
cts in the skirt and belt either ali
or part way around add greatly to
its smartness, and it comes in a host
of attractive fabrics, including Ok
fords, black Meltons and Cheviots,
and in various colors.
THE custom of sending Christ.
mas and New Year greeting
cards to ones friends is by no
means new. but of recent years,
since they have borne the name Of
the sender engraved from their per-
sonal plate, they seem more indi-
vidual, and are certainly more popu-
lar. if advance orders are any indi.
cation. At A. Pomerantz & Co.,
1925 Chestnut street, they are con-
tinually adding to their excellent
stock and have already gotten cards
bearing CHEEKY designs and greetings
suited to our changed outlook on
life. But seeing is believing" and
if you have not time to stop in to
make your purchase send for their

colored cards. It is we'll illustrated,
quotes prices for cards, engraving
and envelopes and will be of the
greatest assistance in selecting.
WHENEVER I see spring water
" being delivered around town
w ] always feel like asking the
people why they do not go to 71S
Chestnut street and try the Noun
tain Valley Water, which is not only
a delightful clear, tasteless water,
good for general use, but also one
that has remarkable medicinal prop
critics, excellent for many aches and
pains and highly beneficial in liver
and stomach troubles, including, of
course, Indigestion and dyspepsia, of
which many testify to being cured.
The Mountain Valley Water comes
from the mountains of Arkansas, a
distance of about 1900 miles, and
must be shipped in galvanized steel
barrels in order to prevent the
radium gases from escaping. After
reaching here it is either sold by the
barrel or in cases containing pint or
quart size bottles. -.
