NO MATTER HOW LARGE 

 YOUR CLOTHES YARD IS 



— you need a Hill Dryer for convenience. 



The saving inspace effected by the Hill Dryer is important 

 — but its convenience is vastly more so. 



Women's drudgery is hard enough at best. And when it can 

 be made infinitely easier for only a few dollars expended who 

 will reject such a permanent investment? 



Better be without set tubs than without the greater conve- 

 nience of a 



Hill 

 Clothes Dryer 



for Lawn, Balcony or Roof 



A rotary clothes line holding- ioo to 150 feet ot line— when not 

 in use folds up like an umbrella, leaving only a covered socket 

 below level of the grass. Saves rewashing- clothes that have 

 trailed on the ground. Saves unsightly clothes posts and 

 ruined lawns.

 should insist on your apartment having.

Prevent the Ravages of 



CATERPILLARS 



by the use of 



STR0KUM 



Strokum is a specially prepared band- 

 ing substance used to encircle trees. It 

 is a vegetable compound (absolutely 

 harmless to the tree itself and about 

 same color as the bark) which effectu- 

 ally prevents the climbing of caterpillars. 



Strokum does away with all unsightly 

 girdles about trees and is an inconspicu- 

 38 ous, reasonable and practical solution 

 of the caterpillar problem. 



Strokum is personally endorsed as the best band- 

 ing substance in existence by John T. Withers, the 

 prominent landscape architect and forester.
