JUGGLING PIANOS
JUST EASY WORK

Ruel w. Knowles, Depot square,
Augusta, is a juggler; not the kind
of a juggler that one associates with
the circus or with the vaudeville
stage, but a juggler of big things
pianos, cabinet talking machines,
beds, stoves and the like.
And, like the juggler on the stage,
the big objects are handled easily
and surely so that there is no crash
ing or confusion or unnecessary
work. Ruel Knowles, be it known,
is mover of all kinds of big things
and particularly does he devote his
attention to furniture. Furniture is
better than it used to be. House
holders like to keep their goods right
up to the mark and now that
antiques are so popular, the old piec-
es of household goods must be ham
died with a care that was never
thought of in the old days. The very
fact that Knowles and his men are
kept busy so much is the best proof
of the good quality of the work they
do.
But there is more than handling
furniture in the Knowles business
Baggage forms a large part of the
work and the travelling men who
come to Augusta are mighty glad
they have men so well qualified to
handle their trunks as the Knowles
crew.

.FOSSETT WORK THE
KIND THAT STANDS

C. NJ. and E. D. Fossett of Gardiner
do reliable cement work. They are
mason contractors and they do lots
of other work, too-plastering. brick
laying and the other lines that one
usually associates with a business
of this kind.
In these days, when cement is be-
ing used so much, there has been a
tendency when estimates are re-
quested for doing a piece of work, to
get the figure as low as possible and
then shave on the quality of the
work
Not so with the Fossetts. When
they submit a figure, it is a guaran-
tee that the work will be done right
And the price will not be excessive,
either. There is no kind Of construc-
ton work that requires more and
better care than masonry. The cell
lar. the foundations. the walls, the
chimney-all demand eXacting skill
If the workmanship is poor in these
parts of a building, whether it be a
house or a factory, the whole struc-
ture will be defective.
c. M. and Z. d. Fossett have prov
ed by what they have done that they
are reliable contractors. Some of the
best work in this section of the State
has been done by Fossett workmen
and it stands as a testimonial of the
fairness and the accuracy of the con-
tractors who have done it.

JACKS OF ALL TRADES
and MASTERS TOO

In these days of the automobile,
the radio. the airplane and wireless
photography. the old time sayings
don't seem to carry as much weight
as they used to do.
Now there's that one about Jack
of all trades and master of none.
The individual who first evolved that
may have been right in his time. but
not now. The best proof of this is
to be found by calling at that little
unpretentious store on Cony hill in
Augusta, No. 33, to be exact.
That's "Parker's", but there are
two Parkers there-Robert j. and
just "Bob"-father and son. And
right here it may be proved that a
man may be jack of all trades and
still be master of quite few of
them.
For instance. a razor-the good
old fashioned kind-may have be-
come nicked. Parker's will fix it,
Lawn mowers will be sharpened

DR.. Willis believes in getting at the
trouble right at the start He is a
firm believer in the policy that if the
small troubles are taken care of, then
there will be no big troubles.
In order to equip himself thorough
ly. even though he had been in prae-
tice number of years. he entered
the Spencer Optical college in 1897
and took the full course. His studies
did not stop with his graduation and
he has kept up to the minute ever
since.
In addition to caring for natural
eyes, DR.. Willis has the largest stock
OF artificial eyes east of Portland. If
anyone wants a bit Of out-of- the
ordinary information then it's more
than worth while to get him to talk
about the matching of artificial eyes
with the natural eye and what can
be done to make person look as if
his sightseeing members were in
perfect shape.

CARE FOR THE EYES
AND LIVE HAPPILY

II it isn't the teeth it's the arches,
and If 1T isn't the arches, it's the
eyes. That's about the way the di-
agnosis goes these days. If it Is the
eyes that are giving trouble, then
it's safe to say that r. H. Willis,
optometrist Of Gardiner, can fix them
up.
DIR. Willis has had experience with
the eyes-lots Of 1t. For 80 years he
mas been in business and during tina t
time, he has kept right abreast of
the times SO that when any eve trou-
BILE develops. he's the man who can
be pretty sure to locate it.
As everyone knows, there Is no
more delicate part of the body than

But there's more to Parker's than
just the work that is done there. Any
youngster of Augusta will tell what
wonderful place it is. Bob" Park

in Augusta is a man to be looked
up to, to be admired and copied. And
any kiddo who feels like emulatinG
Bob and does it, will not go far
wrong.
It's a study in wholesome human
nature to visit Parker's at any time.
If there's no school on, the chances
are there will be several youngsters
just hanging around, learning things,
being shown the best of treatment
no matter how busy the two Bobs
are, learning things that are right

it. Parents and grown-ups in gen.

Employees on the lower floors were

escape was being gradually cut of

the Queen, "I do want to know one
thing. How is It that you. such a
handsome woman, came to marry a
funny looking man like the King?"
