The affixing of this great seal to a document takes nearly half an hour and requires the attendance of two of- | ficers known as “The Sealer” and the “Chaff Wax.” It was formerly affixed to Royal Assent appointments of archbishops, bishops, kings counsel, and Indian judges, etc., but will now only be used on the patents of peers, baronets and appointments of judges to the high court. The scal was always taken around | with the lord chancellor, either on state or private visits, but the custom WHY WIRE? 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.
