opened the finest electric shop in the state with the
declared intention Of giving to the women of South
Bend and vicinty the best electrical equipment to be
found on the market And render, the time,
a service that would fill a real community need.
The announcement week ago that we had secured
the famous APEX" line of electric washing machines
meant the forging of the final link in the quality chain.
We are now able to offer electric washer that fits
every home need and every pocketbook.
Already the whole town is talking about the
APEX" In number Of the best homes in South
Bend and Mishawaka, APEX washers have been
dutfuly the job every wash day for years For the
APEX is the pioneer in the Electric Washer field;
the first bring the osciating tub and three
way wringer-features which have since been widely
copied
The APEX" is not one feature machine. Its
perfect mechanism and graceful appearance the
suit of symmetrical development along all lines From
the beautiful pressed steel cabinet that protects the parts
and the OPERATOR the specially constructed copper
tub the APEX is built with but thought in mind
do its work week in and week without trouble
and without upkeep expense.
Naturally there is a tremendous demand for ma
chine such the APEX 1t will not be possible to

placed Its many exclusive features its remarkably
low price and its beauty make the APEX much
sought after For that advise that you act
without delay in having this machine placed in your
home. Otherwise it is almost certain you will be forced

choice washer
Talk it over today while the family is at home Then

that conditions favor the develop

He brought back with him number

ing secured for further examina-

Mr.. Gibbons is not only confident
that oil will be found but that 1t
will be encountered under heavy
pressure. prospects favoring wells of
the gushing type. and that the
depth necessary to drill in the fav-
ored zones will not be great. He
estimated that in localities close to
| Lewiston and Charleston. both along
the Snake and Clearwater, depth
of approximately 1900 feet should
tap the oil basin, this being 600 tt
700 feet below sea level. Data OF
thousands of wells in the oil coun
tries, he especially referring to Ohio
shows that that depth below the SCI
level is the normal one.
In response to inquiry as t.
whether it was not likely a dee
basalt overflow would be encoun
tered in the valley, Mr.. Gibbon
said such was not the case in tn
zones he had in mind; that the field
lie beyond the lines Of the basal
pocket. He stated that his investi
