MS. %. n. Arlinoton

= MRS. ". r., Arlington
We recently came to Arl-
ington from Sacramento
after having lived there a
year. How very lucky you
are to go to such a lovely
city.
In regards to the cost of
living, you will find prices
considerably lower in Sac
ramento than in Washing
ton. 1t is 10 to Is per cent
per month lower in rents
and about five per cent low
er in food. Produce is al
ways very reasonable and
available year round.
If you intend to buy a
home, you can get a three
bedroom Ranch style house
for $1,000 for the same type
house you would pay $21, 900
for here.
The weather is usually
quite nice. The fall begins
about the first of November.
Winter is fairly short and
there is quite a bit of rain.
You can use all your win
ter clothing. Spring comes
about the first of March and
continues until the begin
ming of June. Summers are
hot and dry and tempera-
lures often go over 100 de-
grees but there is little
humidity.

a WORD or CAUTION

Fred Streeter's Plant Growth Tablets
are manufactured in only one place IN tne
world-in Kent. England. Although they
have been in production in England for
several years, the demand for them mas
been so great that il is only now that tney
can be sold to the American public.
Unfortunately, only a small supply OF
these pellets could be imported TO America
approximately one package to every nve
hundred American gardeners. When these
nackaQes are exhausted, il is almost I'M
possible that a new supply can be brought
in this year. Therefore, we must place two
restrictions upon their sale. None OF these
Pellets will be sold through retail stores
during this season. And no more than two
packages will be sold TO any one customer
during this year.
We wish to apologize for this shortage
We would suggest that you SEND 10 your
order today! We hope to fill every order
we receive during the next two weeks
But we cannot be responsible for Milling
any order that we receive more than two
weeks from today!
