  do 
  not 
  spring 
  or 
  throw 
  your 
  window 
  out 
  

   of 
  plumb. 
  Allow 
  one 
  to 
  five 
  inches 
  of 
  ven- 
  

   tilation 
  and 
  make 
  entrance 
  impossible 
  at 
  the 
  

   same 
  time. 
  Prevent 
  rattling 
  and 
  do 
  not 
  mar 
  

   sash. 
  Any 
  other 
  catch 
  does 
  not 
  insure 
  safety 
  

   from 
  your 
  home 
  being 
  invaded 
  by 
  night 
  or 
  

   day. 
  You 
  can 
  breathe 
  the 
  pure, 
  fresh 
  air 
  

   without 
  this 
  fear. 
  A 
  child 
  can 
  attach 
  and 
  

   operate 
  it. 
  Every 
  home 
  needs 
  one 
  or 
  more 
  

   rooms 
  equipped 
  with 
  Williams' 
  Ventilating 
  

   Window-Sash 
  Fastener. 
  Put 
  it 
  along- 
  

   side 
  the 
  present 
  style 
  catch 
  and 
  you'll 
  pre- 
  

   vent 
  robbery. 
  If 
  your 
  hardware 
  dealer 
  can- 
  

   not 
  supply 
  Williams', 
  I'll 
  send 
  sample 
  pre- 
  

   paid 
  upon 
  receipt 
  of 
  fifty 
  cents, 
  and 
  return 
  

   money 
  if 
  you're 
  not 
  delighted.
