from a strain, and you’ll get relief the
moment you rub your back with sooth

simply rub it on your back and out
comes the pain. It is harmless and
doesn’t burn the skin.
Limber up I Don’t suffer! Get a
small trial bottle of old, honest "St.
Jacobs Oil” from any drug store, and
after using it just once, you’ll forget
that you ever had backache, lumbago
or sciatica, because your back will
never hurt or cause any more misery.
It never disappoints and has been rec
ommended for 60 years.

When Fire
Comes
When the bells ring, and the sirens blow, and the
trucks go swaying up the street, what a comfort it is
to know that everything you own is fully insured!
If there is a mortgage on your property, there is
insurance covering it for the full amount borrowed.
HOW ABOUT YOUR EQUITY?
See T. A. Herndon, in charge of our insurance
department, and have him write a policy protecting
YOU as well as the man who loaned you money.

Have You Ever Noticed the
Collar Your Banker Wears?
If an inspection of collars worn by bankers could
be conducted today it would, conservatively, show
90 per cent of them starched—not because bankers
are any more fixy than other folks, but becaues they
recognize the collar’s business value.
In many organizations, in fact, it is a standing rule
that every man shall wear a starched collar and
laundered linen. The laundered shirt and starched
collar have become the universally accepted marks
not only of good breeding, but of GOOD BUSINESS.
Men s wear magazines report the increasing current
vogue of the starched collar.
Washed by means of the modern laundry the
ordinary collar can be washed twenty to forty times
befire it begins to show wear. We do not guess at
a formular, exact rules and selected solutions too
lenghty to give, are used in our modern laundry.
People who lealize the value of presentability in
dress can secure same by sending their linen to us.
Insure yourself this service and send your laundrv
