A $40.00 Banquet Range
to be sold to the highest bidder regardless of price and without reserve, for cash.
The BANQUET RANGE is without a peer among the steel ranges on the
market today and we have adopted this plan of calling the attention of the pub
lic to the merits of this particular range.
BANQUET RANGES embody the many features of practical excellence you
expect in the product of one of the largest stove plants in the world. The oven
walls are lined with asbestos, concentrating the heat around the oven, economiz
ing heat and making Banquet Ranges quick and perfect bakers.
You run no risk when you buy a BANQUET RANGE. You can try it for
30 days, and if it will not bake and cook as good as any range, we will take it
back and refund your money.
Sealed bids will be received for the range up to the 24th day of Decbei-,
1908, at 12 o'clock noon, and no bids will be opened until that time. All bids
must be securely sealed and marked, "bid on range", and addressed to ADAMb
& BROBST CO., Dallas, Oregon, with your name and address and bid enclosed.
We will be glad to show the range and explain its merits to anyone and if
anyone bids on the range without seeing it and after seeing it they are not satis
fied, they will be under no obligations to take it as it will then be awarded to the
next highest bidder.

Concert Was Well Attended.
The "old time concert" given at
Woodman Hall, Wednesday evening,
for the benefit of the benefit of the
Dallas Free Library was attended by
a good sized audience and a neat sum
was netted from the sale of the seats.

serves great ciedit for ber handling
of the choruses, considering the fact
that the majority of the singers were
new in chorus work and the time for
preparation was limited. The solos,
duetts and quartettes were, as a rule,
good, and well merited the applause
tbey received. A charming feature of
the entertainment was the costumes,
every singer being dressed in the
style of several years ago or In the
oostume of the nations represented by
the song tbey sang.

Electricity for Lighting
Is only expensive to people who are
wasteful and careless. To you, who
are naturally careful, it does not
come high.
It Is economical because It can be quickly turned off wnen not needed.
With gas or kerosene there Is the temptation to lot light burn when
not needed to save bother of lighting and adjusting. In some homes
the electric light bills amount to only one or two dollars per month.
You can probably get some kind of artificial light for less money
than electric light, but does it save you anything when It limits op
portunities for work and recreation ruins your eyesight smokes
your walls mars decorations and Increases household work. You
could probably save a dollar tomorrow by going without your meals
but It wouldn t be economy. It is not so much what you save, but
bow you save that counts,
