Built especially for Women :
me1v, simple oil burner BY Nokol

Every woman insisted upon a price that would
enable them to have it NOW v not next week.
next month or next year. And certainly one that
would not increase the cost of heating. A little
saving in fact would be welcome.
Nokol has found in the $500 homes where this
precious aid is in USE the most wonderful comfort
being enjoyed at no extra cost and in many cases
even at saving.
1t is in these homes that you will find the answer
to the heating problem in your home. Here the
basement is no longer a cellar 1t is Joy to
every woman's heart-spic and span, light and
airy. In the rooms above there is an air of Just
having finished house cleaning. Yet an occasional
busting is all that has been done for months.
Gone is the hustle and hustle of maintaining
fire. The worry lest it go Gone the days of
early rising open the drafts shake the CRATES
Now life is easier, happier, actually luxurious.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-05-12

And who does not want quetness? Every mother
laid stress on this. So Nokol designed simple
arrangement that gives them just what they have
always wanted.
Being designed for women, there is place to
use screw driver. Nor is there any need. No
housewife can do anything wrong it for there
is nothing to be done. 1t is like a luxurious auto
mobile engine-to be left alone.
This is the model display in your city. All
the resources and prestige of the great Petroleum
Heat & Power Company have been placed behind
this extraordinary achievement All the benefits
of sponsorship by the largest manufacturer in the
industry are yours to enjoy for investment SO
small that anyone with heating plant in the
basement can easily afford it. Even this amount
may be divided into smaller monthly payments.
You will do we'll to this Nokol oil burner
built especially for women. 1t means the end of
situation that has shamed mankind for fifty

WIVES and mothers dictated what they wanted
w in this new oil burner. Women who had
struggled for years against the hardships of tend
ing furnace during the day. Women who had
suffered from a lack of heating comfort that
would be tolerated even in the lobby of
public building
These women have always wanted oil heat But
they wanted oil burner as simple electric
iron and just as compact. Nokol, the oldest and
most experienced of all in building automatic oil
burners for homes, undertook to provide it.
The model offered today in this city is the result
-Nokols greatest contribution Oil heating.

room of substantial house with glorious comfort.

A Farm Relief Example

The Texas onion deal this year Is a splendid ex-
ample Of what can be done for farm relief II those
In power really desire to assist the farmer.
Amos Kirby. a market reporter in New York City,
in a special story to the Brownsville Herald tells how
Texas onions have dominated that market this year
from the arrival Of the first cars.
This is the first time in history this has been trle.
The writer OF the article gives credit to the in
creased tariff and lowered freight rates. with the
present duty Of $3.50 per hundredweight. the foEe's4
producers have found 1t very difficult to ship to this
country and compete with the Texas product, Ktriy
writes.
He points out that Chile has unloaded only 354 cars
Of onions at New York this year compared 20 So last
season ana that only III cars Of Egyptian onions
had been unloaded May / compared to 362 last season.
There Is strong possibility that the shipment fer
the balance of the season will run far behind those
OF last year. because the importers have lost heavily
on practically all Of the shipments they have unload
ed" Kirby says.
It also is pointed out that lower freight rates from
the Texas fields to the eastern markets has been
a big factor. The reduction. Kirby says. IS 80 cents
Der hundredweight Of Is cents per crate. he esti-
mates New York will use 1000 cars Of Texas onions this
year. a record number.
An example that is the exact opposite OF the onion
deal Is the tomato deal which is just now reaching
its peak in the Valley.
Mexico-grown tomatoes are coming aCLosS uo -
der in CARROTS and paying a duty OF only one-haii
cent a pound. To offset this duty the Mexican ran

tomatoes by the Valley. but 50 far there has been
