What is the Nost Vital Point in Grate Construction? 



Grate makers and users agree that the most important point is to keep 

 the air spaces open as long as possible under all conditions. 

 We gn^arantee to keep the air spaces of the 



MARTIN ANTI-FRICTION ROCKING GRATE 



open longer under any conditions than can be done by any other grate 



in existence. 



The Ijottest fire you can build will not" warp a "Martin" and it can be 



installed without disturbing the brick work. 



We refer to Peter Reinberg, Emil Buettner. Bassett & Washburn, Wietor Broi., Adam 

 Zander, Sinner Bros., Albert Dickinson Co.. and many others.

have shown but little tendency to stiff- 

 en, but it is evident that there will 

 be an advance if improvements in the 

 weather do not come in a few days. 



Seldom at this season of the year has 

 there been such a demand for funeral 

 work, and there have been some days 

 when the florists have had to scratch 

 around pretty actively to obtain what 

 they wanted. 



Club Meeting and Outing. 



The regular monthly meeting of the 

 Florists' and Gardeners' Club of Ehode 

 Island was held Monday evening, July 

 17, at which there was a fair attend- 

 ance for this season of the year, with 

 President Bobert Johnston in the chair. 

 The matter of taking the usual summer 

 recess for two months was discussed, 

 and it was finally voted not to discon- 

 tinue the meetings. 



The annual summer outing of the 

 club occurred Wednesday, July 19, and 

 those who went had twice the fun the 

 tickets cost them. The committee in 

 charge arranged a blind trip and this 

 had the effect of keeping several from 

 attending, but those who responded, 

 and there was a faithful dozen, assem- 

 bled at the city hall at 9 o'clock and 

 boarded an electric car for Pawtucket, 

 where a large motor boat was in wait- 

 ing. The party, with the commissary 

 department, were soon on board and the 

 boat headed down Narragansett Bay. 

 An hour's run brought the party to 

 Hope island, and here fishing was the 

 order. A pool was made up which was 

 to fall to the lot of the member catch- 

 ing the Arst fish. Hardly had the lines 

 struck the water than Jim Dillon be- 

 gan to pull in. He tugged until he 

 grew red in the face and some declared 

 that he either had a shark or was 

 hooked on the bottom of the bay. He 

 succeeded at length in bringing into 

 view what many term a "monkey" 

 fish, but what was, strictly speaking, a 

 skate. On the strength of this Mr. Dil- 

 lon claimed the pool, but as the skate 

 is not an edible fish, a dispute arose. 

 As the next claimant, however, could 

 only produce a chogset of less than 

 three inches in length, the award was 

 finally made to Mr. Dillon. Alec Ma- 

 crae was high liner, although there were 

 enough fish caught by the party for ev- 

 eryone to have a good mess. 



After tiring of fishing the party pro- 

 ceeded to Bock Point, where a special 

 shore dinner was served and then 

 "Homeward bound" was the cry. 

 Those who attended included Bobert 

 .Johnston, Alec Macrae, James Dillon,

 how the initial pressure flurtuates. By carrying 40 or 50 

 pounds pressure on the hoiler and setting the valve to 

 carry 5 or 10 pounds on the line, you always have a
