hot? Is it so cozy you hate to
leave it, and are glad to get back
again? If it isn't it ought to be,
and would be if you had a Perfection
Oil Heater from the Housefurnish-

Chestnut street. What is the sense
of suffering when n of these little
stoves will make you comfortable at
small expense and no trouble. They
come in several styles with polished
steel or pretty blue v~itreous drums,
and there is nothing fussy or COM
plicated about them. To light them

and cheer are yours when you own
a Perfection.

among other things, will help raise
it, and the result will naturally be an
increase in price. The time, then,

for dress suits accessories at Jacob
