Your Back- Yard on Monday 



You can't be proud of it if it is disfigured with a network of 

 clothes lines, clothes poles and miscellaneous family washing". 



It certainly isn't a sight for any selt-respecting home to be 

 proud of. Besides the 



HILL 

 CLOTHES DRYER 



for Lawn, Balcony or Roof has made it unnecessary. The Hill 

 Dryer is a compact rotary clothesline that holds looto 150 feet of 

 line and does away with all clothes posts and clothes poles. You 

 can hang the sheets on the outside, hiding the articlesof intimate 

 personal appearance from public view. 



No tramping up and down the yard through snow or mud or 

 damp grass— No ruined lawn. 



When notin use the Dryer folds up like an umbrella and 

 leaves but a socket beneath the level of the grass. 



HiIVs Balcony or Roof Dryer is one of the modern con- 

 veniences that distinguish an apartment from a tenement. In- 

 sist on your landlord getting one.

TEXAS FIGS ARE WORLD'S FAIR WINNERS 



The famous fig preserves made at Aldine, near Houston, are the finest and 

 best known in the world. One important thing which must not be overlooked 

 is that fig orchards never fail to produce large, profitable crops here. 



One Acre Set in Figs and One Town Lot, both for 



$230, Payable $10 down and $10 per month, 



without interest, no payments when sick ; 



clear warranty deed in case of death. 



Local cash market for fruit. Single crop pays for land and lot. Money back 

 in four years with annual income thereafter for life. Better than banks, bonds, 

 or life insurance. If you want to enjoy life in South Texas under your own " vine 

 and fig tree," or make a small, safe, profitable investment, write for full particu- 

 lars. Agents wanted. Will plant oranges if preferred. 



ON'T EXPERIMENT. 



FORESTRY. 



Your mature trees need scientific attention. 



Call us in for an inspection or for necessary 

 work. Dead limbs should be removed, cavities cleaned and repaired; broken and 

 split limbs bolted; insect pests stamped out and unhealthy trees invigorated by 

 methods which are recognized as standard — our methods. Write for our FREE BOOK= 

 LET. It is extremely valuable to owners of estates, orchards and forest lands. 



Owners do not realize the possibilities in their woods. By careful 

 handling certain amounts can be removed at intervals leaving 

 the forest in position to produce superior timber. These cuttings are usually not an expense 

 but give the owner a profit. If you and possibly your neighbors have forest tracts have us 

 inspect them and report what can be done for their betterment. We make timber estimates 

 and working plans besides carrying out such plans. Our directors are graduates of the Mass= 

 achusetts Agricultural College and the Yale Forest School.
