NEW PERFECTION
 STOVES HANDLED
 BY O|L COMPANY

For the past five years the Wilky- Wartman Oil company has carried a full line of New Perfection blue flame cooking stoves, ranges and heaters. This line has answered a demand among valley residents because it sup plies a clean. rapid cooking stove that does not radiate heat into the kitchen and is therefore very desirable for use in hot climate.
 The New Perfection stoves are at tractively displayed in the space along the wide windows on the Jefferson street side of the new headquarters of the Wilky-Wartman company and may be inspected by any one who desires to learn more about this type of cook 1 ing equipment. The stoves come in all sizes from the little single burner camp stoves to the large ranges.
 Here one may learn about the long | blue chimney, which is a peculiar pat l ented feature of the New Perfection and why it makes a steady. intense smokeless heat centered upon the utensil. Other features of the stove it's method of lighting and regulating | its burners, wicks and other parts, will also be explained on request.

 II a messenger makes excuses fol being late the retort is: "Tha'rt rect chap to send for sorrow-thart SC long uppo' tn road"
 The man who is asked if he could drink a pint invariably replies; "Ay bud I cud drink quart better"
 Brevity is not only the soul of Lan- cashire wit. but also of Lancashire business. It is said that two mer- chants, perhaps jointly worth mil lion or two. will meet on the Manches- ter Cotton exchange. and that this Will be their conversation: Mornln sIornin'!" "Owt?" "Nowt" "Morn- in'." "Mornin'!"
 Brief, but sufficient. A conversa- tion little longer often results in the transaction of business involving e100.000.
 Unfortunately, although the home of teetotalism--for it was born at Preston-Lancashire is not an undulS sober county, and many sayings refer to the drinking habit. They say of z man who likes his drop;" Hes a: deeof as a doornail, but ask him i he'd like a pint, an he'll yer yo' mile off"
