latter case the window there
would be turned into a door with

refrigerator is placed out in the
kitchen entry, where it is away
from the warm kitchen.
The cellar may be reached from
both the kitchen and living room
as well as from a grade entrance
which latter is most convenient
as it makes it possible for one to
go into the cellar without passing
through any room.
The second story contains three
bed rooms. The bath is located
directly over the kitchen so as
to economic on plumbing. This
house can be built for from $4,000

relatively easy. however, to plan
menus composed of foods, which

NICKEL LIMIT!
That's All Smokers Need to
Pay for an Ace-high Good
Cigar. Read the Glad News

Some men laugh when you say
"a good five-cent" cigar and spring
the old one about what this country
needs. Some men think of the good
old days. Others say "Show me-"
Maybe you're one of the skeptics.
If you are, we want you to put
yourself in the "show me" class.
We say there is a good cigar SELL
ing at SC right in this town today.
And here's the way to prove it.
Just step into the nearest cigar
store, plank down one nickel and
take a Havana Ribbon fresh from
the box. No more hunting for a
good cigar at five cents. No more
disappointments. You'll sign up for
life with Havama Ribbon then and
there, and forget about the price.
Havana Ribbon is a good cigar
because it's made of carefully
chosen ripe tobacco. And it's made
in one of the most modern cigar
factories in the world. Don't let
nickel stand between you and a
real smoke treat.
