THINGS AQUATIC 
IN THE HOME 
Aquatic life has untold value in 
the home. Aside from the unusual 
amount of pleasure derived by the 
owner personally, its value is de¬ 
cidedly convincing of the fact that 
there should be an Aquarium Gar¬ 
den in every home. 
Five values — logical facts — sub¬ 
stantiate this statement. 
Educational Value. For the home, 
especially where there are children, 
one of the best methods of instruc¬ 
tion is by first hand observation. 
What we really see and experience 
gives a much more lasting impres¬ 
sion than those things we merely 
hear or read about. Observing the 
forms of life we are made to see 
Nature near and beautiful — and 
thus we derive a great deal of 
Pleasure. Truly this is one of the 
most enjoyable of hobbies — an 
Aquatic Garden. Something inter¬ 
esting to study and to observe as the 
forms of life develop. 
Thus we bring a center of Inter¬ 
est to the Home,—a visible picture 
of life; as in human beings, the 
forms of life are daily growing, 
changing to a more fascinating 
itudy picture. Various species of fish, 
egg-laying or live-bearing, speci¬ 
mens of snails, new and unfamiliar, 
are some of the forms of life used. 
The Aquatic life is one of grace and 
quiet—thus creating by its own ten¬ 
dencies an 
Atmosphere of cheerfulness, yet 
quietness. Life and action are ever 
present to give the note of activity 
in the room, yet the stillness and 
passiveness of the Aquatic life cre¬ 
ates a sense of restfulness so desir¬ 
able in the home. 
An Aquarium Garden with all its 
beauty has been proven to be a 
splendid humidifier for the air. No 
room in which there is an Aquatic 
Garden can be called “stuffy with 
dry heat.” The water from the 
aquarium evaporates, thus making a 
more balanced supply of humidity in 
the air, and where can you find a 
humidifier as lovely as this? 
Upkeep is, I suppose, the objec¬ 
tion you have raised. However, this 
is quite simple. Little difficulty is 
had in maintaining an aquarium 
once it is established, and thus the 
cost is limited to the initial cost. 
We offer you our prices—LOW— 
and on the best quality merchandise 
you can find. 
And remember, we stand ready to 
offer assistance in any way possible.
