Why are you loser when Electricial
prices are too low?
Forgetting or disregarding OVERHEAD EXPENSE is one of
the reason*) for prior rutting by inexperienced contra etors. A part
of this expense must be charged to each job a contractor undertakes.
If this is not tloue one of two things must happen, either the con-
tractor must skimp the job cither on material or labor, or lose money
and eventually fail. Needless to say the first expedient will be at-
tempted, to your loss. See us about your work.

Eczema It Conquered
Greasy salves and ointments should
not be applied if good clear skin is
wanted. From any druggist for 25c or
$1.00 for extra large size, get’a bottle
of zemo. When applied as directed, it
effectively removes eczema, quickly
stops itching, and heals skin troubles,
also sores, burps, wounds and chafing.
It penetrates, cleanses and soothes.
Zemo is a clean, dependable and inex-
pensive, penetrating, antiseptic liquid.
Try it, as we believe nothing you have
ever used is as. effective and satisfying.
