Is it simple, discriminating salesmai’iship, complete stocks of the best and newest furniture, good prices and prompt deliveries? these are the’ foundation upon which a “service” organization is built, but helpful setvite /is infinitely more, it is intelligent and efficient business friendship. The furnisher of your home should be your friendly His experience should enable him to intuitively grasp your viewpoint, building your selections to a com- plete and unified scheme. Nor is thisall. To this helpful, friendly service must be added the strength of years standing, and the breadth of far-reaching connections with manufacurers, with weavers, with designers and with master craftsmen. That' is what we mean by service—the helpful way in buying furniture. ESTATE OF M. HOURI Complete Homefurnishers habit of paying the dairymen we'll say, three cents a quart for milk, delivered at the railroad. They have transported that milk to the city, “‘pasteurized” it, and peddled it out by the pint, quart or gallon. It has_been shown that the average cost of railroad haul, year in and year out, is not far from a quarter of a cent a quart. This brings the cost of the milk to the distributors at the city, up to 3 1-4 cents a quart. Then they “pasteurize” it. They won't tell—at least they don't tell what this costs. But don’t let us be fazed by big words. “Pasteurizing” is sim- ply heating to a degree sufficient to milk. It can be and often is done by farmers’ wives in common milk-pans set over a kettle of steaming water on the kitchen stove. It probably can be done at less expense and trouble, per quart, in speciaily devised instalia- of quarts. It is not, in itself, an ex- cost of a quart of milk we can only than the cost the dairyman's wife in- whether | their own carts and send . thelr own unwise or idiotlc, have to be | drivers to peddle it out. e : and - dis- | And they charge ten cents a quart | considered fair. dollars evidently intended to make ice, asserts that it handled its many million gallons of milk last assert th it much, merely to bout the streets of as they have been them doubiée 3 deliver the milk New York cit: risk of producing it! statement of the thing i i worst-starved herd of Poverty Hollow! and im-| Either the assertion is not true,|Panies on the or € nd | either there are other profits con- | men d the cit e milk at a railroad for ship- | cealed by some perhaps lezai irick or | interests are mu 1l and in- be unfit to conduct jt—or an other. r of the big companies, in an- and costl, 2d Ve i ts that T sixty ye: direct from ducer at what we believed to price, and in turn delivered it - at 1 notice fession ie mento that lutely uncon- his paid- distribut- Kill “certain harmful bacteria in the | anvthing else except our own interests. pensive nor a difficult process.
