NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1916. The Rottern Railroad Conditions we had in this country for 16 months before the war broke out in August 19147 Do you remember the IDLE FREIGHT CARS that crowded every railroad siding in the country in the winter 1913-147 The thousands of white-leaded LOCOMOTIVES STANDING IDLE? Do you remember the THOUSANDS OF RAILROAD WORKMEN ON SHO THE WAR IN FUROPE BROUGHT US THIS PRESENT PROSPERITY! The 16 months of Hard Times preceding the War followed the passage of the Underwood Tariff Law, removing the Republican Protective Tariff from the Industries of this country. RT TIME, or net werking at all? There are hard times for the Railroad Trainmen if the Industries of the Country are not prosperous. Vote for Charles E. Hughes, the friend of the Labor Unions and the friend of all workingmen. He will restore a Republican Protective Tariff which will give us Prosperity after the War. PULL THE FIRST LEVER Madam,there’s no range like this in the world See that Damper. It automatically regulates the oven and the fire. It places the Crawford Range in a class by itself. Those scientifically arranged heat flues distribute the heat evenly in a Crawford Range. You can't have anything but perfect cooking in a Crawford. The Damper and the Flues make CRang'es perfect from a constructional point of view. They give you more oven heat per pound of coal than any other stove on the market. Then there are those interchangeable ash hods! One full of coal, the other receiving the ashes. As one empties the other fills up. One trip to empty the ashes and bring back the coal. The damper which “bakes,” “checks” and “kindles” with one niotion ! The flues that distribute the heat evenly—no waste! And there are at least seventeen other Crawford advantages demon- strating why this Range is superior to all others. I have been selling Crawford Ranges for years, Madam, and I am certain there is no other like it as a life investment for your home. I'm quite aure no other Range can equal Crawford satisfaction. P Gas Ovens if desired: end (single) or elebated (double). SOLD BY The Single Damper One single motion of an always cool knob reg- ulates fire and heat.

Every owner of an unwired house should wire it NOW for the following reasons: The cost of maintaining :your prop- erty is reduced, because wall paper and decorations last much longer where Elec- tric light is used. Electric wiring places an old house on a par with new houses that have just been erected. Wired houses are the easiest to rent, and in dull times it’s always the unwired house that is the first to be vacated. At the present time we are offering special inducements for the wiring of houses on our existing lines. In effect, we pay a portion of the cost of wiring. You may never again have an op- portunity of installing wiring at such low cost, and therefore you should have your wiring done now., 'Phone and a representative call and furnish details of our offer.
