If You Want an "Inexpensive" Piano 

 Don't Buy a "Cheap" One 



There is a big distinction between the words "cheap" 

 and "inexpensive." Some folks like to get things "cheap" 

 —only to find that in the end they proved to be the most 

 expensive— because they had to buy another that would 

 give service. 



Now we do not sell "cheap" pianos, but we do carry 

 a number of "inexpensive" instruments. The prices are 

 within the reach of most every home. These Pianos will 

 render many years of satisfactory service— they are good, 

 substantial values and are worth every dollar asked. We 

 gladly arrange convenient terms of payment. 



We invite you to call at any of our stores — or write us 

 asking for illustrated catalogues and prices 



We are dealers in Steinway and other Pianos, Pianola Pianos, 

 Aeolian Player Pianos, Player Music, etc.

The Valve-in-head-type engine illus- 

 trated here, like all internal combut- 

 tion engines, requires an oil that 

 holds its lubricating qualities at cyl- 

 inder heat, burns clean in the com- 

 bustion chambers and goes out with 

 exhaust. Zerolenc fills these require- 

 ments perfectly, because it is correct^ 

 ly refined from selected California a«« 

 phaJt-baae crude.

qiiently used, which can be so. made as 

 fo receive the fruit automatically from 

 a gravity line and take same to an 

 upper floor and automatically run it off 

 onto another gravity line; so that only 

 two men are required for this opera- 

 tion — one at the first end of the gravity 

 line on the floor belowand the other 

 at the final place of delivery. Likewise, 

 it may be desired to run the apples to 

 the basement or from any upper floor 

 to a lower floor. This is very easily 

 accomplished by means of a spiral or 

 a straight chute. These, loo, can be so 

 arranged that the apples will automat- 

 ically run into them from a gravity 

 line, and likewise at the lower floor the 

 apples will run out of the spiral chute 

 and off onto a gravity conveyor auto- 

 matically and without attention and be 

 carried to any part of the floor desired. 

 What, too, should be noted — no power 

 is used in the spirals or the gravities — 

 nature does the work; and besides, they 

 are entirely safe, because with the ab- 

 sence of unyielding power, no accidents 

 can occur, which is quite the contrary 

 with the ordinary power conveyor. 



Last year, and the year before, many 

 warehouses in the Northwest were 

 equipped with conveyors, among which 

 might be mentioned Baker Langdon 

 Orchard Co., Walla Walla, Washington; 

 Early Fruit Co., Spokane, Washington; 

 Yakima Valley Fruit Growers' Associ- 

 ation, Yakima, Washington; Cashmere 

 Fruit Growers' Union, Cashmere, Wash- 

 ington; Okanogan Fruit Growers' Union, 

 Okanogan, Washington. And this sea- 

 son many others, having observed the 

 successful operation of conveyors in 

 these plants, are arranging for complete 

 conveying equipments. 



While arrangements and conditions 

 of each packing house vary the system, 

 the fundamental principle is the same. 

 At the receiving doors there are lines 

 of conveyors on which the orchardist 

 unloads his boxes and here they are 

 checked in. From these lines they may 

 be sorted or delivered without further 

 handling to the point where they are 

 wanted. Along the sorting machines 

 lines of gravity conveyors carry the 

 fruit, packed but uncovered, to the nail- 

 ing machines. The nailers, in turn, 

 place the boxes on another line of con- 

 veyors which takes them to the check- 

 ing table, from which they are carried 

 upstairs by means of an inclined ele- 

 vator, or downstairs through a spiral 

 chute, or directly into the car, or to 

 any part of the same floor on regular 

 gravity lines. And so, the warehouse 

 man and packer can easily see how a 

 properly laid out conveying system will 

 do away with handling and trucking 

 and with much labor and confusion, 

 and at the same time do the work 

 quicker, more systematically and at less 

 expense and enable him to give every- 

 body service and keep everybody 

 happy; at any rate, it will pay to in- 

 vestigate.

 and to buy a definite amount of War 

 Savings Stamps each month.
