SerUce Is Keynote of
Towel Supply Company
Business of Renting Linens
Has Grown Greatly in
Firms rs Years.

Twenty-six years catering to the
business houses of central Indiana
in the furnishing of towels, Office
coats, white coats and trousers,
aprons, ETC., is a record that def
nitely establishes the company CIV
ing it has been giving real service.
That is the length of time the
Frank Selmier Towel Supply Com
pany has been in business. The
service consists of the rental of a
great number of supplies in the line
of towels, professional coats, white
trousers and coats, gray coats
aprons of all kinds, caps, table
cloths and tops, napkins and chair
covers and supplies Of kindred
nature.
The business has grown until it
uses eleven trucks for delivery
through central Indiana and en-
ploys more than forty persons.
This growth Frank Selmier, sec
rotary and treasurer and general
manager of the company, likes to
think is a result of his endeavors to
give real service.
The company maintains a regular
delivery to it's patrons furnishing
them with sufficient supplies to last
until the next call, and the spirit
of the place is we'll portrayed by the
inscription on all of the printed
matter, kindly suggest how we can
improve our service"
The company is located at ITO

SHOP PROVIDES
EFFICIENT WORK
Sheet Metal Firm Backed
by Long Experience.

This city and the adjoining coun-
try have many evidences of the
skill and workmanship of the
Joseph Gardner Sheet Metal shop
throughout the territory.
No job is too large for this we'll
equipped shop and no job is too
small to get the kind of treatment
it should have when this shop is
asked to do it.
Anything in sheet metal work is
done here, and the concern will
contract for work of any kind that
requires the installation of sheet
metal.
Behind the business is forty
eight years experience. To the
man who needs it, this in itself
is the best kind of help. Many
people know what they want with
out knowing just how to go about
it, and here this big fund of in
formation that SO many years
have brought is of great value.
So it would seem that in the
erection of tanks, metal roofing,
warm air pipes, ventilating devices
and hundred or so other uses to
which sheet metal of different kinds
is being put in this busy world, it
would be a wise course to call up
the Gardner company, phone Riley
1862, or to visit the place at 147-153
Kentucky avenue, where a number
Of men are employed, and get really
expert knowledge and good service.

CLEAN STORAGE IS
FEATURED BY FIRM

disgrace for storage warehouse to
get moths. They may come in with
the next receipt of goods. But it is,
as Mrs. Shank regards it, disgrace
to keep them.
So the warehouse is fumigated
every week to make life miserable
for the pests, and with all the
thoroughneSs of good housekeeper
the moths are run down and ex-
terminated.
But as a special protection there
is a vault provided for draperies,
furs, and similar articles, that goes
still further. It is near moth-proof
as it can be made. Also it practically
is burglar proof, even to having a
tear gas arrangement ready for the
unlucky thief who might get the
door open.
Safety deposit boxes are provided
for the storage Of specially valu-
able things. Special storage rooms,
kept at the right degree of heat
and humidity, are provided for
pianos.
The woman who has goods to
store will appreciate all these pre-
cautions, for with them goes the
knowledge that her goods will not
be lost or damaged while in storage.

FIRE LOSS CUT
BY SPRINKLERS
Blaze Subdued at Start by
Automatic Device.

The great Bush terminal in New
York harbor has met one of the
hazards Of modern warehousing
most successfully in its handling
of fire prevention.
In nineteen years it has had 259
fires, with a total loss of less than
81 900 for sall of them. More than
200 acres of floor space is protected
by $4,000 automatic sprinklers in
this great enterprise. Not single
one of the 300 tenants ever has
suffered any interruption of bust
ness on account of fire.
Robert Adamson, while fire COM
missioner of New York, said: 1.-THE
automatic sprinkler is the best me-
chanical device yet perfected for
extinguishing fires. The records of
this department show that there
has never been a loss of life where
Sprinklers were installed"
The Indianapolis Au m a j C
Sprinkler Company, 7O2 East Mar
ket street, insists that the man in
business today is paying for the
automatic sprinkler system whether
he has it Or not, in insurance
premiums. This company will ex-
tend, alter Or repair any system,
and it installs Viking sprinklers.

SKILL REQUIRED
IN REMOVAL OF
FENDER DENTS
Cost of Repairing Damaged
Autos Is Reduced by
Efficient. Work.

Taking the kinks out of dam
aged bodies and ironing out the
twists in damaged tenders requires
skill. Let any man who has tried
to straighten out a dent in his own
car testify to this.
1t is interesting to visit the
Automobile Service Corporation,
634 North Capitol avenue, and
watch the skilled workInen there
bring out beauty in a car that has
been in a severe wreck.
To the eye Of the inexperienced
it looks like an almost hopeless job,
but these men, who have been do
ing this kind of work for years,
know just what to do. They go
about it with the confidence born
Of experience and with amazing
CELEBRITY.
Their work really is remarkable.
1t is done so quickly and SO syste-
ulatically that the cost of doing
what seems an impossible job is
surprisingly low.
Employees Efficient
Those motorists whose cars have
bent tenders and dented bodies,
wrenched doors and damaged tops
would do well to visit this place and
learn how little it will cost to put
the damaged car into such shape
that no apologies are necessary.
The Automobile Service Corpora
ton has twenty employees who know
their business thoroughly. Warner
G. Witt is treasurer, John K. Bryan
is secretary and Carl j. Laufer,
foreman. Laufer had complete
charge of the General Motors shop
here for four years and for six
years was in charge of the service
department. He is completely COM
petent to take charge of any line of
work in respect to body and top re-
pair, or any other detail of removal
ing the damaged car.
Open Day and Night
The company is open twenty-four
hours day and seven days in the
week. 1t has a wrecker and road
service department that responds
promptly to any call of distress
from the notorist who finds himself
in trouble. Motorists may write in
for courtesy card; which will be
given away free, and which can be
used in case of road trouble.
The Automobile Service Corpora
ton has the official Bendix brake
service, with the latest machines
and devices for properly adjusting
brakes. Good brakes are especially
fundamental with the icy and Slip
perry weather during the winter
months.

BUILDING FIRM
OFFERS PUBLIC
VARIED SERVICE
Sound Advice and Financing
Included in Details of
Construction.

There comes to be a personality
about a business in the course of
time. That personality is sort of an
accretion of the experiences of the
company, plus the character of its
executives, and with the knack Of
getting along with people and get
ting things done. Some men have
the ingredients of this personality
naturally; others never acquire it.
A place where it is manifest in
daily transactions is the Ostrom
Realty and Construction Company,
1874 East Market street. This COM
pany builds all kinds of structures,
small and large, all over the middle
west-or any place else, for that
matter-and has had fair share
of success in the undertakings.
Where the personality comes in
is the actual desire of these men to
help a man get what he should
have in his building. In other
words, the atmosphere of the place,
one sadly lacking in many such con-
Germs, is that of helpfulneSS.
Good Judgment Used
The Ostrom staff carries this as
far as good business will allow.
They claim the ability to plan,
finance and arrange all details con-
nected with construction and main
tenance. Others do that, too, but
still there is something more.
Henry E. Ostrom of the company
perhaps expressed it well when he
said, in an interview a year ago:
1--WE still feel that our best in
ducement to our customer is our
long established responsibility and
the personal, intelligent and SYM
pathetic cooperation which our
company aims to give each Gus
toner in creating what he desires
in new building, so long as it con-
forms to good business judgment"
Personnel Experienced
That is the expression of the per-
sonality that marks this business
intelligent and sympathetic help
fitness.
Backed by ample resources, in a
position to finance the structure
within any sound business limit,
qualified by personnel that knows
its business, and with a fine repu-
tation to tie to, the Ostrom Realty
and Construction Company is in a
position to serve and serve well.
1t is Differed by Henry E. Os-
from, president; Felix M. McWhir-
ter, treasurer, and Susan M Os-
from, vice-president and secretary.

Warehouse Company Keeps
Up Constant Warfare
Against Moths.

Since its foundation more than
thirty-fye years ago by the former
mayor, Lew Shank, deceased, the
Shank storage business, 1880 North
Illinois street, has become an insti-
tuition to great many persons of
this city.
Conducted now on the same plans
that made it successful in her hus-
bands lifetime, Mrs. Shank MAIN
tains its popularity, and with it OPP
crates a truck line using twenty
vans for moving goods anywhere.
There are several features about
the Shank fireproof warehouse that
are different. One is the extreme
cleanliness, in which Mrs. Shank
carries out her former housekeeping
ideas. The place is cleaned thor
oughly once each week.
Second, like most good house
wives, Mrs. Shank maintains an in
cessant warfare against moths. 1t

RECOVERY IN STOCK
MARKET RESUMES
Public Again Becomes Heavy
Buyer of Securities
After Reaction.
BY CHARLES F. sPEARE.

Special Dispatch to The star.
NEW YORK, February 26.-The re-
dictionary stock market of Wednesday
was replaced today by one of great
buoyancy and activity, in which specu-
lation ran into the public utility, iron
and steel, Oil. merchandising, baking
electrical and equipment shares. There
was decided preference shown for low
priced issues. Pools were busy engineer
ing movements in their specialties.
The mild correction OF the technical
position of the market through We'd
nesday's small average decline was ac-
cepted by the public as an opportunity
to get back into stocks after missing
the opportunities for profits on pur-
chaseS earlier in the month.
Utilities Strong.
A significant feature of the trading
today was the attention paid to stocks
that have been we'll to the rear of the
market during its recent rise. The
awakening in issues of this class, which
had experienced the highest percentage
OF def1ation, was taken to mean that
their outlook for earnings was improv-
ing and that the risk of accommodating
them at this level Is at a minimum
Heavy buying in such shares has been
going on for some time by the fixed
trusts, especially by those trusts that
expect to show the largest profits in
their portfolios in the next two years.
The broadest movements and the
largest number of new high prices for
the year took place in the public util-
tiles. Greater enthusiasm was shown
for these shares than at any time since
the upward trend developed. In the
forenoon session American Water Works
gained 3 points, Consolidated Gas 3,
Electric Power & Light 2 North Amer
lean 2h, Public Service of New Jersey
az, Standard Gas 3A, United Gas g.
Improvement 2. and United Corporation
over a point. All of them were quoted
during the day above their previous
high 1891 prices. There has been a
radical change in the ratio of price to
earnings in this group without any i'm
provement In operating profits-rather
decline in these profits lately
It is apparent that the iiquidating
values of the investment trusts and
trading corporations which own more
public utility securities than any other
kind have been greatly enhanced by
