CAUTION ...
Pay no money in advance to itinerant Di- rectory canvassers. We are led to mention this from the fact that certain parties have been fraudulently using our publications as speci- mens, and by that means collecting money in advance. Before signing an order, see that it has the name of the publisher of this City Direc- tory printed thereon. We ask no payment until the work is delivered, and our solicitors have strict orders not to take advance payment for either advertising or subscriptions.

FOR YOUR THOUGHTS!
There's one
that buys more than most
-- and that's the penny you spend for
electric service! For instance, you can
six large rugs for one cent's worth of electricity.
And just one penny buys the power to wash three
of laundry !
Like to sew? You can for five hours
on one worth of electric power. In fact, every
time you pay your electric bill you're paying
for a of comfort, work-and-time-saving help, and pleasure. Yes, electric service is a real friend
. . always ready at the flick of a and so
low in cost that you must agree : It's the Biggest
Bargain in the family budget!
