Firm Is Popular.

Perhaps no one has yet been able
to find what 1t Is In good spring wa
ter that Is so beneficial to health.
There Is something elusive about 1t.
Analyses show that the water is
good, perhaps with no indication of
medicinal virtues. Yet when people
make a practice Of drinking this
water they become SPRINGER in step,
clearer Of eye and more buoyant In
their mental attitude.
This thing happens so often that
1t Is not questioned, even II the
cause Is not understood fully.
That is one Of the reasons why
so many Indianapolis business con-
Germs and private residences have
rented the service offered by the
Crystal Springs Water Company,
146 Virginia avenue.
This service consists OF spe-
cially arranged Frigidaire coolers

TOWEL SUPPLY
FIRM GROWING
Rental Service Benefits
J Many Companies.

When person goes into a food
establishment and Is impressed with
the cleanliness Of the employees,
dressed in white clothes that look
immaculate and make him feel the
products must be Of good quality, he
probably is paying unconscious trib-
ute to the Frank Selmier Towel
Supply Company.
This company is in the business
Of furnishing aprons, towels and
white suits on a rental basis, and
supplies all kinds Of mercantile
establishments and a large number
Of the industrial places and profess
Sional men with clean suits and &C
ceSSorieS.
This service has grown much In
recent years, as people have come
more and more to realize the value
Of the clean and neat appearance.
It applies to personal service shops
Of all kinds, food handling concerns,
dentists and surgeons, and insures
them clean and sanitary garments
and towels.
Central Indiana has responded so
well to this idea Of cleanliness and
fitting appearance that eleven
trucks and forty employees are re-
quired to maintain the supply, which
pours out from the headquarters at
ITO East Michigan street in a
steady output going all over the
territory.

A freproof buildings there such
a thing? Walls may stand a fire
They may halt 1t. But the fire ex-
acts Its toll on everything in the
building, and only the walls them
selves and the floors really are fire
resistant.
To make them "fireproof" re-
quires a device to control the fires
that may occur in the contents.
This Is accomplished by automatic
sprinklers.
The automatic discharge Of water
right where and when it is needed
most, in the heart Of a fire at the
very beginning, not only actively re-
sists fire in combustible contents,
but also aids the passive resistance
Of construction materials and pre-
vents damage to them.
The greatest extent of the fire
waste Is in commerce and industry,
which waste is peculiarly susceptible

automatic sprinklers. Fire proven

Ballard Product Wins and
Retains Customers
for Dealers.

Dealers who sell ice cream know
that the public taste Is becoming
more discriminating. They have
found that they must recognize this
fact and supply patrons with a
high-class product II they are to
hold the trade.
The public itself has come TO
insist upon the brand of fee cream
that It knows can be depended upon
for substantial food value as well
as fine favor.

irons with such ice cream has built
a well-eStablished business-one
that is not subject to change as
long as the ice cream satisfies.

and the consistent maintenance Of
that quality that the business of

been In business f1fty-six years,
and from the richness Of that ex-
perience has recognized the public

nized as a staple food, Of the high

tent, and Of special Importance In

At the same time, it has lost none
Of its standing as a CONNECTION, and
the wise hostess serves 1t generally,
because every one likes good Ice
cream.
In the long business career OF the
Ballard company. its officials have
well understood that the best appeal
for their goods is the uniformly

tory, one Of the features Of which
