| PLACE TO EAT
| THAT'S DIFFERENT

Everyone these days Is looking for
place to eat that is different"
Among these places is the Angus
ia Girls Community club. 1t Is like
no other eating place in the Capital
City and under its present manage
ment it is enjoying mighty prosper
Gus days.
1t seems real honey" to so to this
unique clubhouse on the banks of the
kennebec. The low-ceilinged room
on the main floor with its attractive
fireplace and seats has an inviting air
that few places possess. The food
served is excellently cooked and there
is plenty of it at a very reasonable
price. The patronage is not limited
to girls and women by any means, for
men find it real pleasure to go
there and enjoy the food that is pre-
pared just as they like it. Visitors
from out of town enjoy it and, during
the days when the Legislature is in
session, there are always many who
go there to have a real, quiet whole
some meal.
The past summer has found the
Girls Community club dlningroom
rendezvous for summer visitors
who have not only enjoyed the food
but the pleasure of sitting right over
the banks of the beautiful Kennebec
and enjoying the incompatible seem
cry that is provided.
Catering for special parties is a
feature of the dining room. Lunches
or even course dinners may be served
and then there is the excellent dane
ing floor upstairs which invites to an
evening of real pleasure.

INDUSTRIAL REVIEW
GARDINER CITIZENS
ARE IMMACULATE

Gardiner is. without doubt, one of
the cleanest cities in the State of
Maine. The streets. the appearance
or the houses, the care that residents
snow in looking after their property,
all add to the attractiveness Of the
city.
But the people Of Gardiner 70 still
iarther. They look after themselves,
ana they are mighty well dressed,
immaculate-appearing lot. For this,
tney nave, IN great measure, to thank
the service of the Bradstreet Laun-
dry on Beach street. Now under the
management Of ]. A. Emerson, this
laundry Is growing steadily in the
amount of business it handles.
Gardiner people-and those Of the
neighboring places, too-f1nd that Mr..
Emerson has just one big aim in
mind-to give service in every mean
ing OF the word. Care in the hand
ling of all clothes that come to the
Bradstreet laundry. rigid attention TO
the way they are done up" sanitary
measur in all the work and an hon.
est desire to please all contribute to
the success of the establishment.
May we keep ON serving your
laundry wants as in the past?" Is the
way the laundry advertises. 1t is a
nice way Of putting it. 1t shows there
have been wants" and that these
have been carefully and efficiently
met by the laundry. More than that
1t is a promise of continued good
work and good service in the future
All Of which goes to show that the
Bradstreet laundry is out for business
and that it is getting 1t in wholesal IL
| measure. So, naturally, the people
of Gardiner are immaculate appear.

A STENOG. WHO
| HAS MADE Gl0l

Miss Margaret B. Coffln has demon
strated that a young woman can 60
into business for herself in Augusta
and be thoroughly successful in her
chosen line.
Miss Coffin advertises "steno-
graphic service" but she features
more than stenography in her excel
lently appointed Offices over e. e.
Davis & Co. Mimeographing and null
tigraphing are both done there and
done so well that it is only possible
TO tell a letter produced by these
methods from the original after the
most careful examination.
But getting back to the steno-
graphic part Of the business. Miss
Comm, although a young woman, has
for years and years." as she ex-
presses 1t, been stenographer. After
experience in several lines Of bust
ness, she was stenographer for the
Maine Commissioner of Labor Fol-
lowing the creation of the Maine In
dustrlal Accident Commission, she
was called upon many times to take
testimony at the hearings of this or
gan1zation and many of them were of
the most technical and involved chart
acter. Accuracy in reporting Of tes-
timony and neatness in the prepara-
ton OF the transcripts were features
of Miss Coffin's work. More than
that. she showed speed and there are
few speakers whana she is not able
to take down. ase do a good job at
it.
As a matter Of fact, Miss Coffin for
| months, just for practice, would take
| down her pastors sermon in short
| hand, write 1t out and present it to
her minister
Soon after leaving the State House,
Miss Coffin decided that it would be
| well to go into business for herself
She has done so and her faith has
been more than justified. The steno-
, graphic service has been enlarged ia
include multigraphing and mimeo-
graphing. This work has grown and
grown and Miss Coffin now has some
of the best clients it is possible to Sc
cure in Augusta. Her work has in
creased so that she has one assistant
all the time and frequently more
help is needed.
There's another thing about Miss
Coffin, too-she has given the lie tc
| the fact that good looking girls can
| not be good stenographers. One has
| but to see one of her perfectly writ
ten, perfectly spelled model letters to
know that Miss Coffin takes pride In
| her work and has the ability to keep
it going"

! MORE MILES
| FOR OLD TIRES

Just as an old pair Of shoes may be
good for many miles more II proper
rebuilding operations are put into eff
feet. so it Is with automobile tires.
The Augusta Auto Supply. opposite
the Colonial theatre, is ready to prove
this. Best Of all. It has proved It
again and again.
Frank Ochmanski who runs the
| Augusta Auto Supply has. right from
the start, determined that the place
Is to give the very best service it is
lines of work carried on at his place,
but just now he is featuring vulcaniz-
ing. Tires that have been punctured
or that have experienced blow-outs,
will be made into tires here that will
give many more good miles Of SER
vice. Rubber is expensive these
days. There are always reports that
the price may go up. 1t behooves
everyone, therefore, to be saving on
his tires. Tires are so good anyway,
THESE days, that they will last for
thousands of miles. With proper
vulcanizing, much more wear is Sc
fcured.
With expert workman and the best
Of machinery the Augusta Auto Sup
/ ply vulcanizes in a way that lasts.
| OF course, vulcanizing never can
make tire as good as new, but the
| method used at Franks place comes
as near to doing the work as anything
can.
| It will be only a short time now
before the real cold days Of fall are
here and then winter. OF course, the
great majority of automobiles are
closed ones. but even at that there
are many who prefer the open model.
Extra protection is needed for winter
and in the installation of new tops
and windows. the Augusta Auto Sup
! ply does a thriving business. AS a
matter of fact. 1t actually lives UP to
the name it carries. for 1t does supply
| the needs of the autoist.

BIG CONTRACT BUT
HE MEETS THE JOB

Everything In radio'-that's the
business slogan used by NJ. P. Scott
over Jackson's drug store in Gardiner.
Such phrase is a comprehensive
one but 1t Is one that just meets the
situation in the case Of the Scott es-
adjustment Everything in radio"
is a big contract to fulfill in these
days. The fact that Mr.. Scott has
been in the radio business for sew
eralsyears and that he "is still max
ing good" proves how we'll he has
lived up to the motto that he has set
for himself.
Last winter. as everyone knows,
was terrible one for radio. The
summer now closing has been a good
one. Mr.. Scott has found that it pays
to keep everlastingly digging at IT.,
for he has weathered the bad days Of
last winter and is going strong, with
his strength increasing every day.
It iSa source of satisfaction to all
radio fans to know that If they wish
a new "a" battery or a new "B" bat
terry they are going to receive one
that Is up to full strength when they
buy it and that it will give the maxi
mum service.
1t is really service that has count
ed so much for Mr. Scott. This,
with the quality of the goods he car
ries. has made his place the center OF
radio-activity in Gardiner. Compli-
Gated radio problems are brought
here for their solution and if 1t is
possible to meet situation it is gen.
orally cared for by Mr.. Scott.
In addition to carrying Everything
in RADIO NJ. P. Scott also handles
the Edison photograph. The beauty
of tone Of these machines, the excel
lence Of workmanship and the free
dom from changing needles makes
them a desirable acquisition in any
home. Mr.. Scott carries several
models and, as with the radio. he is
prepared to give real service on his
