Portable Welding Outfit
Used Here For Seruicing
Home. Farm Equipment

Many are the times when people
in and out of town have found it
necessary to have some kind OF
welding done. Likewise, many are
the times when those people have
found it extremely difficult to get
their damaged equipment to town
to a. local welding plant. In view
Of correcting this inconvenience, to
offer better services to everyone,
the G.. D. Cashwell welding estab-
lishment has included in their mod
ernly equipped plant a completely
portable welding outfit.
AS one of the first in his line,
the late A. D. Cashwell estab-
lished a welding business in Will
mington about rs years ago. Be-
cause of the need of such a plant
here and because of the high quail
ity of his work this business pro-
gressed rapidly. The present owner
of the business is G. D. Cashwell,
son Of the founder, who was taken
into the plant in his early years
and trained by his father. The
present operator is an expert weld

Shipment OF Exquisite
Glassware On Display
At LucyB Moore Shop

Of interest to the prospective
brides of this month is the an
nouncement of the Lucy B. Moore
Flower and Gift Shop that they.
have Just received a shipment OF
lovely and distinctive glassware. In
cluded in this shipment are a whole
array of beautiful patterns in stem
ware, COMFORTS, pitchers, bowls,
sandwich trays. cake salvers, cheese
and cracker dishes, candy jars, AN
dlesticks and many others.
To be sure of getting exactly
what you want Miss Moore's in
vites these brides-to-be to drop in
at her shop at 18th and Market
streets and look over this new
stock. The designs and shapes of
all this glassware are so varied
that the pattern you may want can
easily be found there. After a GER
tain pattern has been chosen for
your crystal they can supply every
individual piece to complete a set.
The glassware handled by the
Lucy B. Moore shop is one of the
most popular lines manufactured to-
day, by the Cambridge Glass COM
pany, a million-dollar concern, Of
Cambridge, Ohio. Their product is
one of the highest in quality, yet
one of the most reasonable in price.
FOUNDED at Cambridge in 1901
by Arthur j. Bennett, this concern
Vas composed of a staff Of young
men, little known in the glassware
industry. Noteworthy is the fact
this staff is still intact, but all
have risen to positions as officials
in the firm. The turnover of .1a.p
at the Cambridge has been and still
is almost nil.
Bennett and his associates are
all typical American businessmen.
the Cambridge factory is conducted
in a typical American fashion aad
it is no wonder that such men and
such a plant would turn out a typi-
cal American product to please the
tastes of the American people. The
output of this factory has been and
is OF such uSusual merit that much
of it has been exported to all parts
Of the world.
Relying solely on original de-
signs, beautiful colors and obvious
quality Cambridge glass has by it's
w sheer worth and attractiveness
built up this huge business. All
the glass at the Cambridge plant is
made by hand. Only the best quail
ity and highest standards prevail
throughout all departments of this
large, modern plant"
Regardless of whether you may
want crystalware for a brides set,
for party gifts, favors or for your
WI home see the distinctive dis.
play at the Lucy B. Moore Flower
and Gift Shop. They have dozens
of different pieces and patterns for
your selection.

Insurance Agency Points
To Need Of Strict Rules
For Pedestrians Safet,

Both from the standpoint of citi-
zens of Wilmington, and as oper-
ators of an insurance agency, we
are vitality interested in the problem
of safety, particularly on our
Streets said the Walker Taylor in
surance agency here. I'VE are glad
to note the campaign being started
by our police chief in an effort to
reduce and prevent accidents on the
streets of Jul city.
1.-THE pedestrian has become one of
modern traffic's greatest problems.
This problem child of the streets and
highways, so neglected and at the
same time SO spoiled, must be taken
in hand. He needs attention., and
he needs discipline.
LET us give him the benefits Of
modern highway engineering
footpaths, walk signals, good light
ing, underpasses, overpasses.
Let us educate him to use these
aids properly, as we have educated
drivers to use the protective devices
provided for their protection.
FINALLY, having provided him
with these safeguards and taught
him how to use them, let us demand
of him the same strict observance
of traffic laws that we demand of
the driver.
TOO long has the walker been left
to shift for himself. Too long has
he been allowed to form his own
rules and regulations. He is not an
object of pity, but a challenge. We
can save him, with his help, if we
want to-"
In the same breath that we think
of safety on u streets and high
ways we should think of safety in
our homes, in our places of bust
ness. Always should be prevalent
the thought of protecting u prop
erty of all kinds. The Walker Tay-
lor insurance agency can give us
that protection. Representing reli-
able companies they have most every
line of insurance in force TODAY.
Call by to see them, or make an ap-
pointment for them to see you and
let their many years experience help
you to make provisions for utmost
safety and savings of all your prop
erty, real and personal.

THESE PROGRESSIVE

Independents Crushed
Ice Service Important
To Produce Shippers

Ice . though few of us think
of it in connection with success
full truck farming, plays a very
important part in getting best
prices for all kinds of crops. Most
produce is highly p%erishable, it
must be refrigerated in transit from
the farm to the market to hold
all it's freshness and flavor. And,
quite naturally, just any kind of
ice will not do. Just as there are
many kinds of ice cream, there are
many varieties of ice so, you
farmers of produce, you shippers,
be sure the ice you use has the
proper chemicals in it that will not
in any way hurt your products.
Call the Independent Ice company
at telephone 6S or "a and let them
tell you just why their ice is safe
for you to use.
In the past year the Independent
has figured prominently in bring
ing d new ice service to this vicin-
ity . a service that has proven
invaluable to producers and ship
pers. Now you can buy ice ready
crushed, in most any size and
weight you may need. No longer
must you buy ice by the block and
have the trouble and added ex
pense of having to roughly crack
it for packing vegetables. A call
to the Independent will get any
amount of crushed ice you need
delivered to your place. There is a
size for every use.
Though sales to truck farmers
and produce shippers show this
group are the largest users of
crushed ice, they are only one of
the many businesses finding this
service both convenient and eco
nomical. Cafes, soda fountains, fish
markets, meat markets, small re-
but a few of the businesses daily
finding crushed ice practical. These
places buy this ice in smaller guam
titles, ever in 25-, So and 100-pound
bags, delivered to them. Crushed in
small sizes, this ice is used in
IoSA Wis SObQ dlA11ho, SOShIollo, alo-
playing fish and meats, and to at
tractively dress certain dishes.
The party host and hostess will
likewise find crushed ice a well
come guest at social gatherings. 1t
saves all the bother and mess of
preparing drinks and food flavors.
It pS,forms the job of fixing
things quickly and neatly, the way
you like them. No more will you
have to depend on ice cubes and
an ice pick or mallet to get ice the
size you want. Explain how you
want to use it and the Independent
will speedily and economically fill
your order.
Anytime, anywhere in blocks

is ready to serve you a high quail

"Kelvinator engineers recognized
that everything that lives or grows

"This new development greatly
lengthens the period of time which

633 Witness Games
BY DALE STAFFORD

DETROIT, July 4. ~ Up - The
Cleveland Indians lost and then re-
gained the American league lead to-
day by splitting a doubleheader with
the Detroit Tigers before a roaring,
partisan crowd of 1888, largest ever
to see a baseball game at Briggs
stadium.
Tommy Bridges superb five-hit
pitching and q homer by Rudy York
with one man on helped Detroit take
the opener, s to g..
The Indians had to go II innings
to win a pitching battle in the night
cap, 2 to /, a single by Roy Wealth
erly, a sacrifice by Ray Mack and
a one-base drive to right by Roy
(Beau) Bell, former Tiger. account
ing for the deciding run.
Bridges. 33,year-old veteran, did
not allow Cleveland a hit in the first
five and two,thirds innings of the
opener and was in distress only In
the eighth and ninth innings when
the Indians got their runs.
Barney McCosky tripled in the
third with Dick Bartell on base and
Detroit never was headed.
Ben Chapman homered for the In
dams with two men gone in the
ninth, but it was much too late then.
Harold Newhouser, 19.year.old De-
troit southpaw, and AL Milnar, Tribe
left.hander, staged a brilliant duel in
the nightcap but neither was on
hand at the finish. High class Tribe
fielding, particularly by Lou Bou-
dreau, helped Milnar.
Cleveland got an unearned run off
Newhouser in the fourth when Hal
Trosky was safe on Charley Geh-
ringers error, went to second on
an infield out and raced home on a
double by Chapman.
Held to four hits by Milnar in the
first 8 innings, the Tigers loaded the
bases with non out in the ninth
but counted only ono run. Gehrinyer,
who had doubled and reached third
on a base hit bunt by York, count
ed on a force grounder by Ralph
Kress.
In the tenth with Dick Bartell or
second and Gehringer on first,
Johnny Allen relieved Milnar. He
induced Greenberg to line to Chap
man and went on TO get credit for
the victory.
The victim of the winning Cleve-
land rally in the eleventh was big
Alton Benton. Newhouser was lift
ed for q pinch-hitter in the eighth.
