A s WE all know electricity has played
"A very important part in the pro-
gress of civilization, and in the adj
vancement of living standards. It has
made it possible for the housewife to
perform her tasks in a fraction of the
time of former days, and of all the
electrical conveniences the one taking
first place is the washing machine
the Thor. The New State Supply and
Fixture company has just secured a
shipment of 80 Thors with the new
swing wringer-the type not yet re-
ceived on the California coast. The
Thor has too many good points to
enumerate, but it is important to re-
member that the washing machine of
this brand can be had with either a
copper or galvanized bottom. A prac-

DAVID CASE, 73 years old, of Cherry
Valley, ILL.,, probably holds no
records for flights against time at De
Palna-like speed over prepared race
courses, but one record he probably
does hold is that for the longest tour
in car driven by a person of his age.
Mr.. Case has returned from a 1900
mile motor journey to Florida and re-
turn. He drove his Franklin car, HIM
self, every mile of the way, and claims
he hadn't the slightest fatigue to mar
the pleasure of the trip, no matter how
long mileage he selected for any
given days run.

men, one would quite naturally
turn to a mans store where one is

conceivable thing a man could wear,
not to mention the many little nice
ties that bring such Christmas COM
fort. Come to think of it, wardrobe
trunk is one thing he usually doesn't
buy for himself. An Indestructo ward
