The saving in time is considerable and the expense light. Electric Light can be used in so many ways and in so many places where other forms of light are impossible, or at best provide very poor results. Properly shaded, Electric Light is the very best for any purpose in a work shop, and we can establish this assertion to your satisfac tion if you will name the place and time. For .heating small accessories to your business or residence, such as glue-pots, soldering irons, laundry or tailors' irons, disc-heaters, curling-irons, shoemaKer' tools, etc, electricity is taking a prominent position in the " lausfling " bu'slness WCSrld. In" fact, the moderate cost makes these uses worthy your investigation. ELECTRIC Seventh and Alder, Portland, Ore. r - t I 4MW.e... 4rVfri444l I For Christmas Presents.
