Vey OF citrus orchards and packing

ed they had surveyed all orchards in

cation. Hundreds of insects have

Coal Purchaser Relies
ON Integrity of Dealer
Like Appearance Makes
Personal Selection
Difficult.

Coal, one of the major purchases
of the household, next to food Is
most essential to the life, health and
happiness of the home.
Yet there probably Is no other
merchandise purchased for use in
the home for which the householder
relies so fully upon the honesty and
integrity of the dealer. There are
several reasons for this.
It Is not customary in the pur-
chase of coal to visit the coal yard
and make personal inspection and
selection Of the particular coe1 de-
sired.
Even though 1t were convenient
to examine coal before delivery, the
many Goals of widely different value
are very similar in outside appear
ances, so that even were it possible
for the consumer to visit the coal
yard and make his selection OF a
fuel, he would of necessity have to
rely on the coal dealers statement
as to the kind and grade OF coal
selected.
The Polar Ice and Fuel Com
pany, now in it's thirty-e eighth year,
has an increasing number of patrons
each year who leave their fuel prob
lens entirely in hands of the COM
pany, with full confidence that quail
ity, price and quantity are assured
by the character of the company
with which they are dealing.
Each year the Polar company has
had the satisfaction of noting a ma
terial increased sale in volume of
each of their products-ice, coal and
refrigerators, tending to show public
recognition of the economy and sat-
isfaction of dealing with a concern
whose past record is sufficient guar
antee to eliminate any doubt as to
their methods of doing business.

WINTER CHECK
OF CAR URGED
Radiation System Should
Be in Good Shape.

With cold weather, accompanied
by snow and ice, here, motorists
should take precautions to protect
the radiators of their cars, accord
ing to officials of the Hare Chevro-
let Company, $50 East Washington
street, the largest Chevrolet agency
in the state.
The radiator Is the most impor-
tant part of an automobile, and
without it's full efficiency serious
troubles may be expected. Every
motorist should have the radiator
of his car gone over thoroughly by
an experienced repair man. The
pump packing should be checked,
the hose connections replaced If
necessary and the entire car gone
over in preparation for the rigors of
winter.
With leakproof radiation sys-
tenn, the motorist may place a gly-
cerin compound in the radiator
without fear of it leaking.
The Hare Chevrolet company en-
ploys only experienced workmen. A
checkup Of your car now by them
may save a tow bill and lot of
discomfort later.
