You'll do best in the long run
dealing with ono Of the
SERVICE GROCERS OF LOGAN
Here's Hopin'--- Thank You

Here's hopin' you had Merry Christ
mas and we are hopin' just as sincerely
that your New Year will be so happy you
can look back over the year Just passing
and try to forget it
We are going to stay right at the same
old stand and deal out the same high
grade of groceries we have done hereto
fore, and we are hoping that every Gust
omer has been more than satisfied with
the treatment accorded them. If we can
do anything to make you happy call on
us.
Our ability to serve has been tested the
last two weeks. In the midst of our holi-
day trade the big storm came. We could
not fall down, we had to deliver the goods
Service" is our middle name, and while
the patrons of the CASH AND CARRY
were Wading through the slush and snow
getting wet and running the risk of TAX
ing cold, we went right on answering the
phone, delivering the orders, and satisfy,
ing the people.
The past two weeks have demonstrated
beyond the question of doubt that mon
ey is saved by dealing with the SERVICE
GROCERS. Besides an actual saving in
the price on various articles, the impor-
tant factor that the goods are delivered
at your door makes the saving great.
Why not take good lesson from the
past two weeks of real experience, drop
in on your nearest SERVICE GROCER,
wish him Happy New Year, tell him of
your needs for the year just like you
would your banker, take out your pencil
and figure with him, and then make a
deal for the years business. You can
then go off about other business, do your
best to assist the Farm Bureau in the re-
duction of taxes, and rest content in that
you are doing your duty to your friends
and neighbors.
Try it and see if it does not save money
for you besides furnishing real health
tonic. Happy New Year.
The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1921-12-31

That's why the spirit of fairness
should prompt you to deal with your
nearest Service Grocer.
Not simply to buy the little things
you need in hurry-but all of your
purchases. His extra service costs
you no more.
The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1921-12-31

He sells as cheaply as any other store
regardless Of size, simply because he
can, with his low rent, small clerk
hire, etc.
Just try it out and average up prices
on everything you buy. That's the
test. Will you be fair to your Ser
vice Grocer.

When you wake up in the morning
And a fly Is buzzing near
And you know he'll soon be horning
Into your defenseless ear,
Wait awhile until you spot him,
Till you know he's Off his guard:
Then lift up your hand and swat him
Swat that buzzer good and hard!
When within your Office busy
You try hard to do your work,
And fly makes you SO dizzy
Meath your desk you long to lurk,
Pause until in range you've got him,
Steel your heart, though mercy
pleads,
Take the Office clock and swat him
Right where Mary wore the beads
There is lots Of satisfaction
In the course that suggest,
With each victim nerved to action
To abate this insect pest.
When you see fly just spot him,
Nail him, as Of course you should:
Grab a baseball bat and swat him
Swat him while the swatting's good

Why They Are Called Sedans

In France there is a town called
Sedan, where wonderful carrying
chair, is said to have originated. The
chair, serving as a vehicle for one
person, who sits within the Enclosure
of royal draperies, was carried by
chair bearers and was considered
quite the thing for the stylish ladies
of the time.
They were first introduced in west
ern Europe in 1881, but did not be-
come common as carriers for the so
cial elite of England and France un-
til the eighteenth century They
were deliberately decorated, often with
paintings and panels by artists Of noe
and lined with elegant silks and
padded with perfumed cloth.
The chairs, because of the supposed
origination in Sedan and because they
were often lined with famous Sedan
cloth, acquired the name of Sedan
chairs.
Sedan chairs soon became thick on
London streets and Paris boulevards
and remained the fashion until their
position was usurped by the victorias
and the prancing horses Of the courts
Then came the automobile and some
advertising writer had the happy idea
of calling a model of similar construc-
ton sedan.
And sedan it still is!

Ripenine Fruit.

High temperatures seem, very curl
ously, to retard the ripening Of pears,
while Fastening that Of apples. In ex-
periments described by Overholser
and Taylor ip the Botanical Gazette,
the ripening Of green first-crop Bart
lett pears raised from 70 degrees F.
or room temperature. to IS degrees
was not affected, but at 87.7 degrees
1t was delayed five days, and at "a de-
grees and 1O4 degrees the delay was
10 days. Second-crop Bartlett pears,
In temperature Of 1O1 degrees. and
surrounded by a relative humidity of
below 80 per cent, remained unripe
four weeks after similar pears at
room temperature and humidity had
become fully ripened. The flavor Of
pears kept above IS degrees was at
fected, sweetness and juiciness being
diminished. The ripeping Of Yellow
Newton apples on the other hand, was
fastened at every appreciable rise in
temperature from SO degrees up to
the point Of destruction by burning.
1t Is concluded that the picking OF
pears may be delayed in very hot
weather, but that the picking Of ap-
pies and storage In cool place must
be fastened.

The drouth has become serious in
this part of Vermont. Water sys-
TENS are nearly dry, hydro-electric
plants are running up to voltage with
difficulty, private sources of water
supply on farms are rapidly drying
and many stream has disappeared.
Derby Line is suffering as much as
any village in this part of the state,
having it's water supply but a few
hours each day. Many other villages
are suffering serious water short
age. North Troy's electric plant has
been unable to operate on it's usual
basis for some time because of low
water and scores of farmers are
hauling water for their stock, in
some instances for long distances be-
cause of the failing of nearby streams
never before gone dry. The story
comes from one farmer who went to
look at his cattle in back pasture
where three water systems have here
tofore furnished drink for the stock
but which had all failed and the cat
tie persisted. Heavy rains will be
necessary to keep the winter supply
of water in this section above the
danger line.

Barnstables Old Bell.

In the courthouse at Barnstable,
Mass. is an old bell, cracked and
silent, which may be, and probably Is,
the oldest bell in the United States.
So thinks Mr.. Alfred Croker, clerk OF
courts Of Barnstable county. The date
1875 is still plainly visible in the pho
tograph recently printed in the Bos-
ton Evening Transcript.
By this date, however, the old bell
had seen nearly a quarter of a cen
fury Of life in England before it came
to America and began calling wor.
shippers together in the church at
Sandwich town. Gratitude bought the
bell in England, for 1t came as a gift
from Mrs. Peter Adolph, whose hus.
band, Captain Adolph, was lost in the
wreck of his vessel on the Massachu
sets coast in 1897 despite the efforts
of the people of Sandwich.

Asbestos Development at Eden.
(Barre Times)

1t is odd enough that asbestos
mines should be found in place
named Eden; yet Eden, VT, is said
to have some of the finest asbestos
deposits in the country, which are
about to be opened up for commercial
purposes. Asbestos has been mined
in Vermont for many years, but the
development of the operations has
been by no means on the same plane
as operations in granite and marble.
However, the diversity of uses to
which asbestos can be put makes it
seem probable that the operations in
the Vermont quarries will reach a
much more extended form within a
few years, or as soon as the indus
trial life of the country shall have
reached normal proportions. Yer
mont asbestos mines may become al
most as famous as the states granite
and marble deposits. In that case
the commercial life of the state will
assume much greater activity and
correspond prosperity will come
to the peop'e Of the state. 1t is to be
hoped, therefore that the operations
about to be undertaken in Eden will
pan out well.
