YOU NIEDUUJ 



and not^knowing all about hats, you 

 buy a Dunlap. Why? Because you 

 know by reputation that Dunlap 

 hats are|good hats. You don't dis- 

 pute the price because you want a 

 good hat. 



When you want good bulbs, buy 

 the Horseshoe Brand. There are 

 none on the market more reliable. 

 A postal request will bring the Bulb 

 Price List for 1909.

A CHEAP CEMENT VALL. 



In several diflferent issues of the Ke- 

 viEW I have noticed articles on methods 

 of constructing cement walls. While the 

 methods described have been good, most 

 of them would be rather expensive for
