For The Bride 
To have the wedding gifts 
distinctive, lasting, valued, 
cherished, in future years,— 
that’s the thing. 
The artistic Handel lamps 
(for electricity, gas or oil) 
solve the question. Not ordi¬ 
nary so-called artistic lamps, 
but veritable gems of lamp 
construction. 
Lamps made by those to whom the 
making of them is a joy and an art. 
Striking beauty of design, originality, 
unquestionable utility make Handel 
lamps gifts that are rated among the 
bride’s choicest possessions. 
The name "Handel” on the lamp is 
a guarantee of artistic individuality, of 
perfect color harmony—and the bride 
knows it. 
No. 5345, illustrated above, sells for 
$25. 
In nearly every city and town lead¬ 
ing jewelers and lighting fixture dealers 
sell Handel lamps. If your dealer does 
not sell them send us his name. We 
will refer you to one who does sell 
Handel lamps. 
Whether or not a dealer in your town 
sells Handel lamps, we will make it 
easy for you to procure them. Prices 
range from $15 to $150.

An unclean, dusty, disor¬ 
derly condition under liv¬ 
ing rooms is a menace to 
health. Fine floating dust 
from such a cellar causes 
unnecessary housework. 
Avoid the “hard part of 
tending the furnace.” Make 
fine dust, odors and dis¬ 
ease germs go up the 
chimney, where they be¬ 
long. 
Rotary Ash 
Receiving System 
Do away with boxes and barrels. All waste material not easily 
burned is held with the ashes in strong galvanized iron cans con¬ 
tained in a fireproof vault. Can revolves easily as filled. Ashes fall 
naturally away from grates. Saves grates, improves draft and holds 
accumulations of several weeks. Use one can for garbage. 
Approved by Health Officers, Physicians, Architects and Dealers. 
Saves the labor and drudgery of disposing 
of ashes and garbage. Can easily be lifted 
out, carried away and replaced by a man 
once a week or once a month. 
Your dealer can install easily before he 
sets up the furnace and anyone can dig a 
pit and make the installation where furnace 
or heater is already in operation. Be sure 
that your Architect specifies the SHARP 
Rotary Ash Receiving System. Your dealer 
may not know about this new device yet.
