as were a young gal at the tinv.
uNow one, of Master Wicks, new
dodges was to wr.lch for the ear ners,
stead o, the bouts. Vou know what
that'ud mean, o'eourse He'd let the
watch oft-shore i$o easy, an' n '> Keep

was certain lo be look on lo carry
the tubs inland as s<,on as f! \ver<*
landed. Like as not?it's pretty certain,
In fact?one of then was an iuformer.
The dod?:o wasn't of great
advantage except It weie uncxpccl?d

y dear sir: In
reply to your favor of recent date,
elativeto the Davis Ascetylene gas machine
stalled at my house in 1907 I will say: That
lie Davis is giving entire satisfaction, and is
ar superior to any other gas machine that I
ave seen. Before usinec the Davis t o
_. - ? ? ? V4. a. x ?
ererit gas plant, and considered one among the
est, but it did not compare with the Davis,
be Davis is easily charged, is very simple,
nd as it uses lump carbide, the same number of
ounds of carbide lasts for a much longer time
han the fine or crusned carbide, which was
sed oy the former machine owned by me. The exsnses
of this machine are not half so much as
he other machine that 1 owned, and the lights
re better.
Very truly,
J. William Thurman.
