SOFT WATER IS BIG FACTOR IN MODERN HOMES Merchant Plumber Specializes in Household Conveniences. One of the modern home features that never ceases to be a satisfaction to housewives is soft water. That was an easy problem years ago. If there wasn't a cistern, somebody put n. tub under the water spout, and there you were! When cisterns about disappeared and city water, “‘hard as lime,” came into use, a lot of people resigned themselves to either using hard water, or “break- 1 ing” the water with washing powders. Hard water when used for toilet purposes is mighty hard on milady’s fair skin and washing powders are hard on dry. But the modern way of getting around all this is to install a water softener. F. E. Trosky, merchant plumber at 2949 Central Ave., carries two kinds of water softeners the one-valve, hand-operated, and the automatic water softener. So the problem of hard water is easily solved. Trosky also features the Aladdin automatic down-draft oil burners, and in some of the severest cold weather of the last few months, the Aladdin has given excellent satisfaction in the Indianapolis homes. In these times of coal uncertainty, a satisfactory oil burner is a subject of vital interest. Perhaps it’s a kind of hobby with Trosky, but he carries . far more than the usual stock of household appliances In his shop. “We believe that all appliances that fend to lighten the work of the housewife belong to the line of plumbing,” remarked Trosky. "And wo expect to add to our different lines of goods.”

AWNING SHOP AT IT AGAIN “Yes, we’re right in the swing of business again.” remarked W. 11. Thorp of the Thorp Awning Shoppe, 2407 College Ave. A fire in the shop some weeks ago stopped business activities for awhile, but “we have more machines and more operators than before the fire,” he added. The Thorp Awning Shoppe manager suggested that this is an excellent time to have old awnings hung. There always is a rush when warm weather arrives and the shop will j be swamped with orders. This concern has a large stock of j striking new examples of what the ; new awnings will look like this year j in the way of patterns. The colorings are more gorgeous than ever before. Every color is used and no j home will be complete without color- j ful awnings. Orange again will pro- j dominate with harmonizing colors I worked In. "Arabian and Venetian awnings j are becoming! mora popular every j year.” said Thorp. “New ideas in j spear heads and ornaments make it j possible to arrange the awnings so that they carry' a decided touch of the oriental. “Awnings for the homes are more j in demand each year. They const! j tute the final effective touch of color that adds distinction to the old home and establishes the individuality of j the new. IVe are looking forward j to a great awning year.”

LARGE STOCKS AREPURCHASED J. A. Breedlove Predicts Early Spring Building. “Building work will begin early this year,” remarked J. A. Breedlove, secretary-treasurer of the Ben Davis Lumber Company, S. High School Rd. “With this expectation, we are purchasing large stocks of materials, including lumber and will be prepared to meet any demand during the coming months. “There have been few changes in price during the winter,” he commented, “although some strength is noted in lumber because of the heavy building program in Florida and other southern territory, where large quantities of lumber have been consumed. We are looking forward to another period of steady prices and believe that conditions will be very favorable to the home builder.” Breedlove cited this statement from a current number of the American Lumberman: "Inquiries from buyers both retail and industrial show . xuch interest in the market and Justify forecasts that spring buying is about to begin (this refers to trade with the middle west and north). Recent rains in producing regions have been less serious handicaps to the large reporting mills, which are not included In statistical compilations. Offerings are being steadily absorbed and prices continue firm."
