XIU 



WILSON'S OUTSIDE VENETIANS, 



Blind and Awning Combined 



THE most practical and useful form of Venetian yet devised; they com- 

 bine beauty, utility and durability' to a decree that no other blind 

 of any kind can equal; suitable alike for town and country houses. 

 Slats can be opened and closed and blinds raised or lowered from inside 

 without opening window. When blind is pulled up entire frame is folded 

 out of sight, making a very neat appearance.

Furniture 



is nature's own product, 

 combined economically 

 and substantially with 

 artistic, high-class work- 

 manship. 



Crex Furniture is quite new but has 

 become decidedly popular for furnishing 

 "Crex Rooms" or carrying out a har- 

 monious arrangement of odd pieces. It 

 adds tone and charm to the surround- 

 ings on account of its distinctiveness.

GARBAGE 

 RECEIVERS 



Ever wished for a Garbage Can in which garbage cannot 

 freeze in winter — and stink in summer? A can in w^hich flies 

 cannot breed and then spread typhoid germs? A can having a cover 

 which every time closes tight automaticalb — and cannot be opened 

 by prowling do^s and cats^ A can which, being out of sight, does not 

 disfigure the backvard? A can which is practically indestructible? 

 The Stephenson UNDERGROUND Garbage Receiver has aU 

 these advantages. 



My Receivers are SOL© DIRECT. 

 For the satisfaction of yourself, your husband, your maid and your 

 garbage man you should at least send for fully illuslrated descriptions 

 of my garbage receivers and names and addresses of hundreds or 

 pleased users. I abo make Underground Earth Closets and Portable 

 Metal Houses for same.
