POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD

Attention is called 70 the installation
of visible gasolene measuring pumps
with glass containers mounted above the
pump housing and protected by metal
network
1t is considered by this department. that
such a pump may become serious fire
hazard. particularly if the glass contain
err Is allowed to rema filled when GUS
toners are not being served. In case of
breaking the glass by accident or by some
automobile or truck coming in contact
with the pump. the amount of gasoiene
contained in the container would be a
serious fire hazard to any of the sur
rounding property.
IL Is therefore suggested that no per
NIT be given for the use of such measur-
ing pumps particularly unless re-
Quirement is made that the glass con-
taner shall not he allowed to remain
filled when customers are not being
served.
1t Is reported that serious fires are
occurring IN different parts OF the coun-
try from tho use of such pumps

Tomorrow, Saturday, Nov
ember 18th, has been des-
ignated as the first day Of
the Holiday shopping season
in this store.
A period of approximately four
weeks into which is crowded the great
est activity of the whole year and it is
also time when the unusual resources
of our organization can be relied upon
for a service to the public that we hope
and believe to be superior and decidedly
valuable.
We would take up the displays in
detail to-day in our advertising if it
seemed possible to do so but the various
departments are so filled with new and
rare merchandise; the displays are so
brilliant and beautiful that a correct
idea OF its excellence and attractiveness
can only be gained by visit to the store
and an examination of the displays in
every department.
A cordial invitation is extended to
the residents of our city and State to
visit the store tomorrow and thus be-
come familiar with the shopping adj
