THE distinguished American barl
, tone, Relnald Werrenrath. known
throughout tha country's musical
circles as one of the finest artists of
th present generation, has been en
gaged by Bteera ac Coman to give a
concert at the lleillg on Saturday, Feb
ruary If.
Commenting upon Mr. Werrenrth"s
sola appearance with th New Tork
Oratorio Society last Spring, the New
Tork Evening Mall said: "Relnald
WerrenraUi has established himsolf as
th leading American baritone on the
concert stsee." and a quotation from
th New York Times states that his
work "was notable both frr his beau
tiful singing and for the attributes that
go to make up a finished style. It was
singing." declared the Times, "such as
la heard only one In a great while."
When the New Tork critics grow
warm In praise of an artist It Is proof
positive that he or she Is a polished
and Intelligent performer. New Tork
bears nearly 400 concerts every sea
son, and only those singers wbosa gifts
ar extraordinary can hope for more
than passing notice. In the case of
Mr. tV'errenrath. who gave three recit
als In New Tork last season, the press
has paid him rich compliments, and the
critics are unanimous In saying that
his appearances are among the few
artistically Important events in the
metropolis.

TJpiformity is another word for economy and safety. When the
same things happen with each pound of Giant Farm Powder, you
know not only how much to use, but what results to expect and how
to handle the explosive.
Giant Farm Powders are surer, safer and more economical because our tests guar
antee every pound. We maintain our own completely equipped chemical division
to inspect Giant Farm Powders during every process of manufacture. Absolute
tmtforrnity meant absolute dependability. Like results always obtained under like
conditions make western farmers prefer Giant Farm Powders.
"Giant Powder is the most satisfactory," says John Zurr, Santa Rosa, CaL
"I account for this because Giant Powder is made with the utmost care."
