ARE YOU 
SATISFIED? 
Do you continue to 
use garbage and 
rubbish cans be¬ 
cause you are 
satisfied? Or do 
you tolerate them 
because you think 
they are necessary 
evils? 
The KERNERATOR 
Has at last emancipated the home from these evils. 
The door shown is located in the kitchen. Into it is put every¬ 
thing that is not wanted—tin cans, garbage, broken crockery, 
paper, sweepings, bottles, cardboard boxes—in fact all those 
things that accumulate in the home from day to day and are a 
continuous nuisance and dangerous health hazard. 
The material deposited falls down the regular house chimney 
flue to the incinerator built into the base of the chimney in the 
basement. From time to time a match is touched to it and it 
burns itself up. The material deposited is the only fuel required. 
Not one penny for operating cost and yet you have abolished 
garbage and refuse cans forever. 
SANITARY—ECONOMICAL 
CONVENIENT—ODORLESS 
A postal to us today will bring an interesting catalog to you tomorrow.

“ You Were Fortunate to Secure a Place 
Blessed with Trees and Shrubs” 
“But I didn’t,” my friend said. “My good fortune lay in knowing where to go 
for them. All those trees and shrubs, which add inestimable beauty and value to 
my estate, came from Hicks Nurseries and were planted only last year. 
“I saw their advertisement in House, and Garden and wrote for a catalog. The 
catalog convinced me that it was practical to transplant big trees, so I placed my 
order in the fall just about this time. 
“Hicks Nurseries selected the shrubs and big trees from their large stock, dug 
and delivered them here on their own motor trucks, making a haul of 100 miles. 
“Yes, every shrub and tree lived and has grown satisfactorily, just as they 
guaranteed. They also ship by express 
and freight up to 1000 miles, and guar¬ 
antee satisfactory growth.”

Possibly this will bo 
the baby’s first Christ¬

an historic event.
