VII 



this magnificent kitchen stove that has 

 every convenience that ingenuity and 

 skilled workmanship can put into a 

 range. It is attractive in appearance, 

 and convenient and effective in use. 

 What more could he required. As many 

 of our readers will be interested in this 

 range, we suggest that they write to 

 the Abendroth Brothers at Port Ches- 

 ter for a catalogue and further particu- 

 lars, mentioning The Guide to Nature. 



A Magnificent Bank Building. 



The Greenwich Trust Company has 

 moved into its magnificent new build- 

 ing. The opening of the new quarters 

 was made an occasion of appropriate 

 ceremonies including the raising of a 

 large flag, the gift of Mrs. Helen Adams 

 Kelley, first regent of the Greenwich 

 D. A. R. The wonderfully beautiful 

 structure is indeed a credit to the man- 

 agement and to the town and is great- 

 ly admired. A very important feature 

 of the bank is its storage facilities not 

 only for ordinary protection of docu- 

 ments and the like, but for the dry air 

 cold storage of furs, woolens and valu- 

 able rugs. Absolute security from 

 thieves and moths is assured. 



Sound Beach. 

 Sound Beach now has a competent 

 man to regularly attend to the collec- 

 tion of garbage. Mr. Edward Clark 

 has taken up that work and any resi- 

 dent in Sound Beach may give him an 

 order and be sure that the work will be 

 done not in a desnltorv but a thoroughly 

 proficient manner. This is in accord 

 with the spirit of general improvement 

 of premises in Sound Beach. All along 

 the line, in fact all the lines, of houses 

 one may readily see this spirit of im- 

 provement that has come about largely 

 through the increased interest in pub- 

 lic welfare inspired by the enthusiastic 

 meetings of The Sound Beach Associa- 

 tion. It would be hard to find any 

 small community with a better com- 

 munity spirit than that of Sound Beach, 

 and those who wish to keep their pre- 

 mises in a tidy condition will heartily 

 welcome this new departure by Mr. 

 Clark. His teams will be on the rounds 

 for the garbage collecting work every 

 dav in the week. 



A Delightful Typewriter. 



For office or home, a simple, conven- 

 ient, practical gem of a typewriter is 

 the new No. 9 Model issued by The 

 Blickensderfer Manufacturing Com- 

 pany. Send for their new catalogue, 

 No. 1 12, and you will perceive the mod- 

 eration in my commendation. 



There probably never has been 

 placed on the market so convenient a 

 tvpewriter as this. The editor is well 

 acquainted with the manufacturing es- 

 tablishment and management, and per- 

 sonally assures every reader that the 

 firm produces a high grade machine. 

 To deal with the management is a de- 

 light. Every reader will be pleased 

 with the dealings with this well-known 

 manufacturing establishment of type- 

 writers. At any rate, even if you do 

 not want a machine now, it will be 

 worth while for you to investigate this 

 superior and moderate priced machine. 



The Call to do Things. 



Never in the history of the world 

 was efficiency so timely as now. Every- 

 body must do something with head and 

 heart, and both in earnest. It is not a 

 time for sham. It is the time for the 

 enjoyment of real things, and a time 

 when mechanics are especially needed 

 and especially difficult to obtain. One 

 can get along without a carpenter if he 

 has any gumption in his head and skill 

 in hi- hands, providing he likes to 

 tinker with tools and has a cabinet so 

 attractive as those put out by Hamma- 

 cher, Schlemmer & Company. Now is 

 the time to write them. See their ad- 

 vertisement on our fourth cover and 

 send for circular No. 84. 



An Effic ; ent Summer Laboratorv. 

 Every one interested in biology 

 should send to the biological labora- 

 tory at Cold Spring Harbor, Long 

 Island, New York, for its announce- 

 ment for the summer of 1917. The 

 laboratory is well equipped, and is con- 

 venient of access from this part of the 

 country, as it is only about thirty miles 

 from Manhattan Island, New York 

 City, in one of the best collecting places 

 along the entire coast. It is almost 

 directly across the Sound from Ar- 

 cAdiA. The field students in their 

 Connecticut shore excursion have been 

 invited to spend a day at ArcAdiA.
