We are - willing; to;be -“somebody’s” friend, as well as “every- - body’s.” Just call in and pay our big store a visit, so -, that we may show you ~ HOW WE PROPOSE T0 DO IT . We have continued our old prices as long as it is possi- " ble, giving our customers the benefit of our large stock .of House Furnishings, purchased before the “War Price” advancesiaffected them. In our long experience in the sale of furniture we have never seen such sudden and continued advances. Many classes of goods have jumped in price phenomenally, others intend to do so in the near future. We must advance prices! For the .* present, in most instances, while our stock on hand lasts, . we shall continue to sell at the old “ante bellum” prices. % This means a saving of 10, 15, 20 or even 30 per cent. * for you, Mr. Somebody. This means that you can put $5.00, $10.00 or even more, depending on the extent of your purchases, in * your pocket or the bank and figure it as clear gain. This is what we propose to do, in order to prove we are “somebody’s” friend! DO IT NOW! Call in and see us or phone us and we shall attend to your wants as carefully as if you made us a personal visit.

Lady Asistant Telephona No More Back-Breaking Scuttles To Be Carried Up Those Cellar Stairs If you buy coal in large quantities you must have room to store it; if in small quantities, it is expensive. When you want to use it you must carry it from its storage place to your range, and of all tasks that is one . of the most weary. When you,burn wood or coal you have the heat, dirt, and the trouble of attending to the fire. If you use gas you require no room for storage; no back-breaking scut-’ tles to be carried from the cellar to the kitchen. The fire in.the gas range burns steadily and without atten- tion; it is always ready, without dirt or trouble, in large or small’ quantities.

The rate for Wake- field is 12 cents and that rate would prevail in_Westerly. He could not tell when the pole line would be com- pieted, perhaps, not in less than four mwonths, yet the rate would be in ef- fect in September 1, 1916. Then the company could not be accused of de- {laying the construction of the pole ine in order to hold up the reduced rate. ! "Mr. Lisle said that when the new rate was in effect, the company would give mo more free carbon lamps, hich have already been largely sub- ‘situated by tungsten lamps as a matter of economy for the consumers. This would mean, perhaps, a small saving to_the company in lamps. OMr. Lisle said that the ehort time lghting rate, the seashore rate, was at present 25 cents, with reduction for prompt payment that :meant 20 cents mnet.: After September 1, there be no rebate and the flat rate will be 20 cents.

[ T pany, as proposed means a loss of $5,000 to the company, but this change was. intended when the Westerly com. pany was taken over. Mr. Lisle want- ed it understood- that the reduction of rate from 14 to:12 cents is the re- duction that was based on bringing the service.from Providence, and that it did not mean more reduction when the pole line was installed and the service here. President Flynn asked if a reduc- | tion in the gas rate had been awarded. Mr. Lisle replied that he had not the time to go mto the gas question; but did not think there would be much, if any reduction, as it would not be feas- ible to build a pipe line from Provie dence. He had no written proposition to offer the council in regard to the electric light rates, but said he would prepare a report, embodying what he had sald and present it to the council. Frank W. Coy asked: If there s to be a minimum charge, Why not make it annual instead of monthly? Mr. Gray, of the Narragansett com- made reply that experience and ation of 124 cities, with pop- invest ulaticns of over 40,000, only 13 cities were and on a monthly minimum basis, rule was approved by the ioners and courts of rearly all the states. Mr. Coy could ses no reason why there should be a minimum rate in Westerly that is higher than is charg- ed in other places served by this com- pany. Mr. Gray said there is no minimum charge in_ Providence and never had been, and places near Providence charzed less than in_Westerly, and 1f Westerly was near Providence there be no apparent discrimination. Coy said he had no objection gentlemen getting all the mon- can for their product, but minimum monthly rate, and ot a ye: minimum. The summer residents use the product in the dull scason should derive some bene- fit for that reason and no other. He s son why Mr. Buffum hould be charged one village and an _in- * like service at thelir s all in the same town ed that there were ereni services, that ires, pole lines and cost are separate, and if not charged for short ice it would be a losing prop To do this summer busine: osition. on a yearly minimum basis would mean a loss to the company, and there is no oblization to serve the public at a 1 Mr. Coy asked if the proposed re- duced e applied to all consumers as a flat rate, or was it to be on a sl ng scale as at present?
