Rush of Mexican Laborers
To Border Expected Soon

United States immigration authori
ties at all points along the TexasMexi
can border are expecting a big rush
of Mexican labOrers from all portions
of the United States back to Mexico
within the next three or four weeks
as all Mexican laborers now under con
tract in this country must return to
Mexico by February /, while no more
contract labor can be brought to this
country from Mexico. During the war
thousands of Mexican laborers, con
sisting of men, women and children
were secured under contract from Mex
leo and taken to various portions OF
this country to work, and these must
return to Mexico by February / and
can Te-enter the country TO work only
as individuals seeking employment and
after paying the necessary head tax OF
IS and meeting the other necessary
immigration regulation requirements.

My Dear Mrs. Housewife:
 You may feel about Isko like did, until found out what 1t is.
 You may have thought it was new sort of breakfast food; brand new kind of icing for cakes; game which might rival "Auc- tion' or "Pinochle" in the household, or even new hair tonic-but 1t is noneof these.
 Yesterday when I dropped in at the Gulf States Supply Company at No. 2O08 Fourth Avenue, browsing around" as 1t were, seeking what I might devour, I was intro duced to Isko, and to my amazement and surprise I found that 1t was absolutely the last thing would have ever guessed for it is nothing more or less than very simple piece of machinery
 There are just two little running parts to the plant for that's what it is-thus elim- mating the reciprocity pump which has al- ways been such nuisance. This constructs the machinery so that there is nothing to get "out of fix; no shutting down" for repairs; no complications, but just very simple com bination of machinery which works while you sleep-Without any noise or confusion, and turns out the most beautiful little blocks of ice you ever beheld.
 Isko fits any ice box; once it is installed it just naturally takes the place of the ice man, and you make your own ice-Without any trouble, any labor, or any disturbance on your part or the part of any member of your household.
 Of course there are many technical terms that I might employ in describing Isko, but you wouldn't understand them and neither would l, so in my own way just let me tell you about this refrigerating plant which marks the 'Iceless" age of efficient refrig- eration.
 We've had the '1fireless cooker" the horseless carriage the numerous and va ried heating apparatuses, which science and art have evolved from brain and brawn. but the last and most convenient of all these modern innovations in the household is Isko which brings cold storage right into the home
 No more inconvenience of inadequate ice
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-02-22

lsko is clean and wholesome and healthy, while the old-fashioned refrigerating pro- cesSes are insanitary, unhealthy and un- clean.
 As to convenience Isko is always at hand; always in order; always ready to furnish as much ice as you wish, and always reliable.
 There IS an lsko size to fit any ice box, no matter how large or small. Clubs, hotels, dairies, markets, fruit vendors, hospitals, restaurants bakeries whatever the size of the ice box used-it can be fitted with an Isko.
 Isko may be described as heating plant reversed; it establishes a dry, uniform, healthful refrigeration by pumping the heat out of the refrigerator.
 The refrigerant in the open air is a gas harmless and unchanging. When cooled un- der moderate pressure it becomes a liquid, and as such is supplied to the expansion coil in the ice compartment of the refrigerator. In the expansion coil the refrigerant expands into gaseous form and in expanding ex- tracts the heat from the refrigerator. When it has absorbed it's quota of heat the pump removes it from the expansion coil, and de- livers it to the Water-cOOled condenser, where it again becomes a liquid and ready to start on another journey through the ma- chine. And this simple process is repeated continuously and automatically just as long as the current is on
 It seems to me that no housekeeper could afford to be without Isllo in the home; it's economy, sanitation and convenience make it an ideal addition in the realm of modern housekeeping elimination of ice box troubles and joy forever to the house. keeper, the cook, the maid, the butler and all those who are connected with the menage.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-02-22

refrigeration; no waiting for theice man and having the delicious cream and butter and vegetables and fruits in your refrigerator spoil because of tardiness and delay, for with lsl1o there is a perpetual supply of ice, and Mrs. Housewife is absolutely independent and happy.
 Sterilization of very nearly everything connected with the cuisine has already been effected; our linen for our tables is Steril- ized; our milk is sterilized; our knives forks, spoons and other utensils are sterilized but ice is subject to exposure, the gathering of germs and debris in it's journey from plant to me-and the ice box which holds the great numbering pounds of ice is the sufferer from these many inconveniences.
 Any housewife will tell you that the bane of her existence is her ice box; the cook is negligent and will not scrub it and keep it clean; all sorts of microbes accumulate, thus spreading disease and pestilence in the wake. lSkO eliminates this absolutely, for the little blocks of ice are protected just as protected as the most delicate of hot-house plants and no germ or debris ever touches them
 Isko is easily installed -on the top of the ice box or refrigerator in any conve- nient place, and attached to the electric and water systems.
 You switch on the current-Or 1t starts au- tomatically--there are two ways, you sec and after the little plant commences it's work 1t maintains the exact desired low tempera- ture automatically day in and day out, month in and month out, year in and year out.
 There are three features, especially, about lsko which will appeal to the housewife economy, sanitation and convenience.
 Economy is the result of Isko, because it saves food, it saves health, it saves money, it saves worry, and it saves the housekeeper from thousand and one annoyances that poorly kept ice box causes every day.
 Sanitation is emphasized by Isko because bacteria and Isko cannot live in the same ice box; they don't even move in the same circle of society.
