A SERVICE THAT
MEANS GOOD WORK

Conscientious, painstaking service
is one of the big attributes of the
Augusta Engraving Company. Elec-
tro engraving Is not a profession that
Is over-crowded, nor is 1t one that
can "get by''%With mediocre work.
The fact that the Augusta Engrav-
ing Company Is not only one of the
best concerns of the kind in the
state, but it is also one that is going
ahead each year, is the best proof
of the mighty-good work that is
turned out there.
One of the best things an industry
can have, whether 1T be retail, whole
sale or manufacturing is a distinc-
tive signature" for it's advertising
and letter heads. In order to have
something different from what may
be set in ordinary type, 1t is neces-
sary to have "cut' made. Once
the drawing of the particular, sigma
ture or name plate is made, then 1t
may be reproduced in any size, all
from the same drawing. The making
of signature plates of this kind is one
of the big features of the business at
the Augusta Engraving Company.
But this is only one of the activi-
ties carried on at this establishment.
Lime cuts" Of all kinds, whether for
illustrations or for distinctive sta
tionery. are made. Then, too, there
are half tones which are made al
most without number, from the
coaser Screen type used in the
newspapers, to the finest screen"
such as is necessary for publications
where hard surface paper is used.
There are thousands of people who
know little about half tone work.
They do not know why a cut that
may be used on smooth surfaced
paper of program cannot also be
used in the ordinary newspaper A
trip to the Augusta Engraving Com
pany will disclose the reason for here
Ted Whitehouse will be only too
glad TO explain how half-t tone
plates and line plates are made
and to show the difference be-
tween the screens" used in half
tone work. The whole thing seems
comparatively simple, after the ex-
PLANTATION is given, but the whole
work requires the greatest amount of
care, the proper timing and the ut
most attention to detail. 1t is be-
cause Mir. Whitehouse and his assist
ants give this needed care and at
tention that the werk turned out is
of such high order and Is in de-
mand from many places outside of
Augusta as well as in the city.

| WATER SUPPLY FOR
ALL FARMHOUSES

Farmhouses are far more comfort
able these days than was the case
a number of years ago. This has
been due not only to the advent of
electric current in many sections,
but to the installation of private
water systems, notably the Delco-
Light systems such as are handled
by Woods garage of Hallowell.
When planning the home a water
system must be provided 1t is a very
necessary part of the homie equip
ment, Furthermore, the water supply
of modern home must be brought
to the house under pressure. The
day of the hand pump has passed.
Electricity, the universal servant, is
called upon to bring water into the
house. A spotless bath makes a
house worth living in these days. a
D-L Tater system makes this posi-
BILE in both the city and the country
home.
The laundry is an important feature
of the modern home. In many
houses, soft water is drawn from a
cistern for washing clothes. A D-L
water system will easily pump all
Of the water needed for this purpose
and an oil or gas heater will provide
the hot water required for modern
laundry service.
Flowers, grass and shrubbery
which often dry up during hot sum-
mer days, can be kept green and
fresh with water for sprinkling, pro-
yided by Dbl water system. Like
wise the kitchen garden may be kept
in good condition. 1t is often worth
the Pr of a d. s. EN- for these
purposes alone. There is a system
that will furnish plenty of water for
a hose or sprinkler.
In the kitchen there is nothing SO
convenient as running water at the
faucet. Thousands of steps and many
hours of labor are saved each year
by this simple convenience. Soft
water from a cistern Is desirable
here as in the bath or laundry. All
the advantages of water under pres
sure may be had from the installation
of a D-L water system.
Woods garage is prepared to In
stall them at any time. . Not only
that, but Mr.. Wood will be only too
glad at any time to explain the diff
ferent styles of Dbl systems and to
show what kind is necessary to meet
particular need.

CHRISTMAS DINNER
SURE TO PLEASE

A Christmas dinner from the Win
throp market will be all that the
most fastidious could desire. There'll
be many a delicious meal served in
and about Winthrop next Saturday,
and much of the food that is set on
the table will come from this market.
1t is pleasant to buy ones food
at this establishment. Here every
thing that ones palate could desire
will be found. For the Christmas
dinner the store is stocked with all
those things that are needed to make
the holiday repast what it should be-
There are turkeys and chickens and
geese and ducks to be had. There are
all the fruits and vegetables that the
market affords. Then, too because
OF the very high grade bakery that
Is conducted in connection with the
market, many other good things will
be found: plum buildings, pumpkin
and squash. apple and mince pies,
cookies and doughnuts and bread
that will make ones mouth water.
/. A. Hills. proprietor of the Win
throp market. takes a good deal of
pride in his establishment and right
fully. too. The big glassed- in meat
room Is model of sanitation. The
bakery goods are always attractively
displayed and the other goods, canned
and fresh, are so arranged that shop
ping is an easy matter there.
Not only may one buy all that is
needed for the Christmas dinner at
the Winthrop market, but the dishes
for cooking the dinner, may also be
obtained there. An annex to the
market is conducted that is fully
stocked with cooking utensils of all
kinds. The people of winthrop find
about everything here that they may
wish to meet their needs whether
they live In the heart of the town or
in the rural sections.
The Winthrop market, because of
the excellence of the goods carried,
their great variety and the desire
and success achieved in giving ser
vice, is one of the best known stores
in the western part of Kennebec
county, and enjoys patronage that
extends far beyond the town limits
of Winthrop.

INDUSTRIAL REVIEW
Big MOVING JOBS
ARE MADE EASY

Ability to move anything any,
where Is quite a boast, but 1t is one
that is being lived up to by the Tai
bot Ice Co. of Gardiner. That is lust
what this concern Is able to do: move
anything anywhere and the men
employed by the company have been
DONG 1T so successfully for a number
OF years that they have developed a
business that Is one Of the largest
OF the kind in this section of the
STATE.
Gardiner is hustling city Those
who go there from outside are struck
with the fine appearance of the
stores, the well-kept houses and
grounds, and ethe up-to- the minute
manufacturing establishments. With
such field as this from which to
draw 1t Is not surprising that the
talbot Ice Co. has plenty to do.
FURNITURE has to be moved; there
are big packing cases for the shoe
factories; machinery and parts to be
carried through the streets. No
matter what it is, the service per-
formed Is quickly and capably done.
Not only that, but 1t Is also done
safely so that there is not even a
marring of the particular article
that may be moved.
Within short time, the Talbot Ice
Co. will be preparing to live more
nearly up to It's name of handling
ice. The cold weather of the past
few days has formed plenty of ice,
and soon 1t will be time to cut this.
Great cakes win be sawed and the
Talbot Ice Co. will store these In
preparation for the big business to
be done when warmer weather
comes. This does not mean that ice
has not been delivered this winter,
for 1t has, and the demand has been
a strong one. Housekeepers, restau-
rants and others need ice and they
like the naturally frozen variety
handled by Talbot. The purity of
the product Is guaranteed. and 1t is
safe to say that the number of Gus
toners for 1927 will be much larger
than has ever been the case in pre-
vious years.
