Why Not Buy Your
CLECTRIC
When It's Easiest ?
Do you expect to be able to buy an electric range on terms like these- at as low a . price "with wiring and
installation all complete some other time when it may be more convenient to buy?
It is just because no one likes to see a customer pay an extra price for the sake of a little delay that these three
firms have joined in making price, terms and installation all so convenient that no one will need to postpone
the purchase of an electric range until "some other time."

Contrasts Mark Flight
SAN FHANCISt'O, Sep. 11.
Contrasts marked the flights of tbe
PN-9. No. 1.
Commander Kodgers and his
men. started In an airplane, and
were rescued by a submarine.
The speed for the first two hours
of their trip was around 100 miles
an hour; for tha last 200 miles,
less than five miles an hour.
Storms and high winds exhaust
ed the gasoline supply and left
their lives In danger, but after
landing the weather waa almost all
,that could be desired.
Kood the firBt two days Included
aoup, coffee, and chocolate; the
last four days nothing but water
was available.
! Perhaps the mast grim of the
contrasts, however, was the ability
of the men on Ihe seaplane to re
ceive radio messages without being
able t send them which enabled
them to hear themselves given up
as lost by a council of naval offl-1
cers. I

"So few are the remaining capable t
fliers in tiie country that Ihe loxs
of any one Is a calamity and the

tical one lo this nation." Colonel

morning, when Informed the sea

The colonel said he was greatly
pleased, happy over the success of
the navy searchers. "Their brav

for their loved ones and their
