INDUSTRIAL REVIEW
ELECTRIC LIGHTS
| AND POWER FOR ALL

No matter where one may live,
even though 1t may be far from the
city, electric lights are available
through the world famous Delco-
Light systems. sold by Woods garage
of Hallowell.
There Is no time of year when
lights are more appreciated than In
the fall and winter when days are
the shortest and more artificial light
Is necessary. Proper lighting of the
home, the barn and other out build
ings adds greatly to the efficiency OF
the men and women at work.
What has been accomplished In the
cities is being duplicated in the
country with the modern farm cleo
trio plant and especially with Delco.
Electricity lessons work in every de-
partment of the home. 1t makes farm
life more attractive-more cheerful
and more desirable in every way. The
appeal Of electricity is universal 1t
helps everyone. But in the kitchen.
heart Of the farm home, Is where the
helpfulness Of the Delco Light makes
itself felt most. No longer need the
farm woman wish for conveniences
and the labor saving appliances en-
joyed by her city sister There Is no
feature Of city housekeeping that can
not now be enjoyed by any farm
woman.
Her kitchen is real workshop.
Here with sparkling water within
easy reach. cooking, baking and other
duties become a pleasure. She en-
joys soft, brilliant light; she may
draw water from handy faucet in
stead Of having to pump and carry 1t
from a well. She has every modern
ADVANTAGE of the city. with all the
freedom of country life.
For the man, Delco-Light serves to
light the barn and the premises. 1t
takes the drudgery out of such tasks
as pumping and carrying water, turn
ing the grindstone and other light
machinery. 1t reduces the fire haz-
ard to a minimum.
Woods garage is ready and able to
make installations Of Delco-Light. 1t
will be worth the time of anyone Nv
ing out of the city, whether on a farm
or at a suburban home, to investi-
gate the possibilities Of Delco-Light.

LOOK TO THE
| Home CHIMNEY

The J. M. Nichols Co., OF Augusta
does all kinds of masonry work.
That seems to be big contract, but
it is true nevertheless. One Of the
jobs on which this concern Is now en-
gagged is in putting in the foundation
for the big addition to the F: w.
Woolworth store in Augusta.
J. S. Nichols, the head Of the
Nichols company, has had years Of
experience in his business. 1t has
brought him in contact with all
kinds Of jobs and in every case, the
work, when completed, has been fully
done. In other words, so we'll do the
Nichols workmen perform on their
jobs that there is no need OF going
back and having corrections made.
During the past few weeks, house,
holders have started their fires. in
furnace or fire places. In many
cases, they have found they were
not getting all the draft they should.
Fireplaces have smoked and furnaces
have not drawn as well as their own
ers have wished Mr.. Nichols has
been called into consultation and be-
cause of his many years of expert
ence he has been able to diagnose
the trouble at once and apply the
remedy.
1t is a recognized fact that hun
dreds of fires in, homes are due to de-
fective chimneys. Sometimes these
fires may be only troublesome. At
other times, they are real destructive.
In any case, fire chiefs, underwriters
and others maintain that it is a most
economical thing to see to it that all
chimneys are properly built, to have
them inspected every once in a while
and to have them cleaned of SCOT and
ashes.
Every householder has some kind
of work that should be done to i'm
prove the value of the property.
Brick or concrete posts, under steps or
piazzas, cellar walls repaired, cellar
floors put into good shape, chimneys
re-topped or even rebuilt, are just a
few of the things. This is the time
when all this should be done before
the real cold weather sets in.
The j. NJ. Nichols Co. employs only
the best skilled labor. The men go
to their tasks without any unusual
noise and the average householder,
unless he stayed right with the men,
would hardly know the work was
being done, SO quiet is all accom-
pIished and SO little dirt results.

EVERYONE SEES
HIS PRODUCTS

Few people probably know 1t, but
the work Of Harry ]. NJ. Foss Is to be
seen In nearly all the store windows
of Augusta.
'Harry's signs''-that's his work.
There are, of course, some who don't
even know his name, because he's
just plain Harry to everyone. But
when it comes to painting signs,
there's nothing plain about him. In
the language of the day "he Yields a
wicked brush" for there is no medium
Of the painter in which he does not
work.
Hand lettering Is really an art.
There are certain conventional rules
that must be observed. There are,
too, certain standards or types of let
ters that are the same, practically, all
the world over. A good sign painter
has to know what is correct in this
regard and he also has to have the
creative instinct and be able to in
vent new letters to meet particular
occasions.
Harry is doing this and doing 1t
well. Because of the prompt manner
in which he executes orders and the
genuine skill he displays, his signs
are in demand not only by the mer-
chants OF Augusta but by many others
who have occasion to need hand-let-
tered posters for sales and entertain
ments.
So skilled is this young sign paint
er, that he is able to execute his signs
anyway one may wish. All colors Of
paint, either oils or water colors.
charcoal, ink or anything else. Gold
leaf is a favorite medium for win
dows and doorway signs and there
are, too. many raised letter signs
turned out. AS Harry says, '1f it's a
sign, we'll make it"

POPULAR PLACE
FOR EVERYONE

Thanksgiving is coming on. Every
year, more and more people celebrate
the date by dining out" at some
restaurant or hotel. The Hotel North
In Augusta has come to be a moss
popular place for the people of Au-
gusta and vicinity to take their fanai-
lies on this national feast day. Spec
ial Thanksgiving and Christmas din
ner, prepared from the very best of
foods, have been a feature here for
several years and the excellence of
the repasts prepared has been a
source of satisfaction to hundreds.
But for that matter, the regular
meals served at the North are recog-
niZed all through Maine as being de-
cidedly appetizing. With a large
well-lishted dining room, a corps Of
trained mattresses and a chef who
knows how to make good things
travelling men and business men on
the street are very partial to the
North cuisine
The Hotel North is one of the best
known hotels in Maine. For years it
has been the center for many travel
ing men who come to Augusta. Thou
sands and thousands of dollars worth
Of goods have been sold from their
sample rooms. The convenient loca-
ton Of the Hotel North, right in the
heart of the retail district, makes 1t
desirable place for the travelling men,
for merchants may step right from
their stores to the sample rooms to
see the new goods.
Travellers arriving in town late at
night find the North very convenient,
especially when they have to leave
early. Roland Lynn, the proprietor,
gives his personal attention ~ the
administration of the affairs of the
hotel and, because of his wide ac-
quaintance among travelling men and
others, he has come to be recognized
as one of the most popular proprie-
tors in New England.

THOUSANDS VIEW
PRODUCTS OF COMPANY

A community to be successful
should have a number Of small in
dustries. Such is the opinion OF
many economists. Augusta is for
tunate in this way and standing out
among the so-called smaller ones
may be mentioned the Augusta En-
craving Co.
There are many people. perhaps,
who know little about the big work
that this plant is doing. It is
business that does not parade itself
before the public to any great ex-
tent, and yet the products 1t turns
out are seen by thousands and
thousands.
Photo engraving is a profession
that may be either very good or very
bad in its output. The Augusta
company comes under the classical
ton of Every good" for of such a
high order are its products that they
are in demand from many places TAR
removed from Augusta
The making of half-tone plates for
newspapers is only part of the
business carried on by this concern.
It turns out hundreds and hundreds
summer resort desires correct pic
lures of it's many attractions.
Photographs are turned over to the
engraving company and plates are
produced that depict in all their
natural beauty the offerings Of these
resorts.
Then there are illustrations for
manufacturers: new plants, ma
chinery, products of all kinds. There
is no limit to the things that are fit
for illustration and for which half
tone pIatss are made by the Augusta
Engraylng Co. Sometimes. it is de-
sirable to have these pictures print
ed in colors. The making of color
plates is leading feature of the en-
craving company and in this the
public is given exactly as good SER
vice as the big plants in the larger
cities.
Line cuts, such as architects draw
ings, maps of streets or sections of
the country, are also turned out by
Ted" Whitehouse and his crew and
all of them are Of the same high
order.
Whether 1t is an inexpensive
pamphlet or one printed on the very
best of paper, cuts to meet the need
will be made by the Augusta Engrav-
ing Co. The results obtained as to
clearness depend in great measure
upon the press work when the print
ed matter is finally prepared. But
without good cuts, no illustrations
can be made to show clearly. The
Augusta Engraving Co. with many
years of experience back of it and
with an intimate knowledge of the
needs for all kinds of work Is able
to meet the most exacting require
ments. The real worthwhileness of
this work is helping to advance Au-
gusta and the State of Maine in the
eye of the public.

COAL DELIVERED
tn ALL SECTIONS

The Augusta Ice and Coal Co., is
being kept busy these days.
There Is every reason why this
should be so. To begin with. the
season for the use Of ice Is not yet
over The company has plenty OF
the clear frozen water and it finds a
ready demand among householders
and merchants who need to keep
their perishable products in refriger-
ators.
But It is, after all, in the summer
time when the biggest demand for
ice comes. But just because the
demand is slackening off. Is no sign
that this concern Is not busy. It is
very, very much So, because 1t also
deals in coal
This is going to be a time when
coal will be needed by everyone In
this section. The chilly days OF
autumn, for all October has been
remarkable month, are but a fore
taste of what is yet to come. 1t is
well for those who have not yet
filed their coal bins to see that this
Is done. The Augusta Ice and Coal
Co.. is able to do it.
Reading coal is the variety handled
and this meets the demand for all
kinds of uses. For those who wish
a very quick and very hot fire. such
as bakery shops, the Lincoln Valley
coal is carried. In Reading coal. the
Augusta Ice and Coal Co., is able to
supply all sizes, from pea up to
broken. They are using this variety
because they believe that it is giving
their customers the kind of fuel they
want-good clean, dependable coal
More than that, the Augusta Ice
and Coal Co., because of its truck
service is able to make deliveries
anywhere in this locality. Whether
it is in the city or in the outlying
districts, a truck will take the coal,
in almost any amount desired. to the
place wanted.
Keeping people cool in summer
and warm in winter Is the double
task the company is performing and
is doing it so well that the number of
customers Is constantly on the in
crease.
