I T is not possible to get the soft, silken sheen, the 
fluffy, brilliant luster of really clean hair without 
soft water. Hard water curdles soap—any soap—and 
deposits a film of sticky, tough curd upon everything it 
touches. The first trial of soft water will be a revela¬ 
tion of new possibilities in cleanliness. 
Moreover, the full bath of luxurious soft water is Nature’s 
oldest and best skin beautifier. 
And what soft water does for the hair and skin it also does 
for everything washable. Delicate fabrics—laces, silks—renew 
the full bloom of their first beauty with each washing. 
WATER SUPPLY SYSTEMS 
No city water whatsoever can rival rain 
water in softness. We supply the best means 
of getting soft water into your home cheaply 
and without trouble. A V-K electric soft water 
system supplies it under pressure—all you need 
—at an operating cost of a cent a day—or less. 
This pumping system is fully automatic, 
self-stopping, self-starting, quiet in operation, 
and requires no attention save for a few drops 
of oil a few times a year.

‘BULL-DOG’S’ merit that it does 
not intrude. In the above installa¬

Efficiency: But when you want to 
change the position of the sash, the 
‘BULL-DOG’ is all there. Note 
powerful leverage of telescoping 
handle (patented). No need to 
touch the screen. 
Strength: At any desired angle the 
‘BULL-DOG’ holds the casement 
noiselessly, surely.
