this is that in the worlds history has the progress been
so rapid and varied What the best today cast aside for
something better tomorrow The method that today is
obsolete tomorrow Unless the physician and the merchant

These facts that one will seek to controvet They
self evident to all thinking people That being true they
apply to all lines of human endeavor and they embrace all the
fields of complicated business intercourse.
The firms advertising this page specialists-not in

newly proven method and utility.
Nowhere is more rapid change taking place than in the

Naturally the electrical dealer who nstalls electrical wiring
and who handles the electrical service of the office shop and
home best qualified at all times to pass judgment on the
merits of the improvements that announced from time to

When appliance brought to his attention. he tests
only electrical expert do. He wants to know
whether is priced right whether is made right whether it
will give service specified and whether if he sells it, the
buyer will be satisfied Consequently if it does not

customers have tried out He specialist and he tries it
himself When he sells it. he is able to tell the buyer

He is specialist.
Much of the trouble resulting from electrical equipment
is due to the customer buying electrical goods from other than

that sell them only incidentally that have of knowing

Every modern home today should have electrical equipment

AUToIST DRACS PUMP
AWAY AT FILLING PLACE

Firemen are wondering whether
the motorist who yesterday pulled
down gasoline pump at a filling
station on the Washington.Ba lti-
more boulevard. in Cottage City.
wasn't from Governor Charles
Bryan's State, where motor fuel
sells for sixteen cents.
The autoist had stopped for eight
gallons. Before the hose was dis.
connected from his tank, he started
away, tearing down the pump and
dragging 1t along for a distance.
A spark from q broken electric
wire set fire to the spilled gasoline.
Traffic on the road was tied up FOR
half an hour while four county fire
departments fought the blaze.
1t is being said by the volunteer
fire-fighters that the difference in
price of gas In Nebraska and College
City was so great as to lead the
motorist to believe he had bought
the pump too.
