PRECAUTION IS BETTER THAN REPENTANCE I
PROMPTNESS is one of the qualifications that all employers demand of their em~
ployes. A troublesome stove bought out of town very often is the cause of much disap- |
oointment and discord in the home, while on the other hand a stove bought in your home
town comes “ready to use,” must burn and must give satisfaction, or the home dealer will j*
nake it right.
