SAVING THE HEAT. 



Have you noted the advertisement of the Roches- 

 ter Radiator Co., placed elsewbere in these columns? 

 They offer one of the most useful and practical con- 

 trivances for the home in the North that we know 

 any thing about. As everybody knows, a great deal 

 of heat is wasted with ordinary heaters, but this in- 

 vention goes a long way toward saving the heat 

 which is now allowed to escape. It is a simple, 

 practical, and economical invention. 



SHELTERTOP BUGGIES. 



We are desirous of again calling attention to 

 what, in our opinion, is a very meritorious vehicle 

 that the makers of it term the " Sheltertop " bug- 

 gy. It represents a distinct advance in the con- 

 struction of family buggies. Owing to its peculiar 

 makeup it is wind, dust, rain, mud, and snow proof. 

 It appeals very strongly, of course, to the farmer's 

 wife and daughters, as their clothes and persons are 

 completely protected. Yet the carriage is quite 

 comfortable, airy, and easy to get out and in of. In 

 fact, it is just as easy to manage as any other, and 

 possibly easier than tt-.e others which have bows to 



bump against when entering or leaving. It may be 

 closed at a moment's notice without any of the oc- 

 cupants leaving their seats, and while the horse is 

 going along at a good gait. It is so completely 

 closed up that, when the hose is turned on it, none 

 of the water can possibly get inside. This is impor- 

 tant in cleaning it. 



In addition there is no obstruction to seeing the 

 road, either alongside or straight ahead. We are 

 much inclined to think this new-fangled buggy fills 

 a long-felt want in country life, and we have per- 

 suaded the makers to have it advertised in this 

 journal for some time, and the full-page advertise- 

 ment appears elsewhere in these pages for the first 

 time. The manufacturers are so sure they have a 

 good thing that they have arranged to give prospec- 

 tive purchasers thirty days' free trial without send- 

 ing them any money in advance. They are sincere 

 in making this offer, and are anxious that buyers 

 should avail themselves of these liberal terms. 

 Should you have it in mind to purchase a family 

 conveyance we urge you to correspond with th m 

 before placing your order The correct address is 

 Fouts & Hunter Carriage Mfg. Co., 333 South Third 

 St., Terre Haute, Indiana.
