known for their authoritative styles, deep- 
set colorings, purity of materials and unsur¬ 
passed workmanship. Atlantic Candles 
burn down evenly in dripless “cup” form, 
with a flame that is flickerless, smokeless 
and odorless.

quality, come in all the wanted shapes, sizes 
and colorings. Hand-dipped and moulded. 
Dealers who keep up with progress have 
them.
