FREE ADVICE IS GIVEN BY FIRM ON USE OF ICE Valuable Service Offered by Company on Home Refrigerators. Believing that the modern homemakers of today always are alert to any new thought that will tend toward the betterment, comfort, health and economy of home life, the Polar Ice and Fuel Company has inaugurated a service whereby the housewife may learn more about refrigeration and the many things that enter into it. After months of preparation and diligent selection the Polar Ice and Fuel Company has completed its refrigeration service organization, having chosen men of ability and character who have been thoroughly trained in the essentials of goed refrigeration, men with whom the public will find it a pleasure to discuss difficulties in the use of ice. Causes Ice Waste Few of us know that there are certain places in all refrigerators more practical for the preservation of some foods than others. And yet, these men will tell us that there practically is a place for everything and that each different article should be in its own particular place if the best results are to be obtained. Many of us believe that the coldest place in any refrigerator is in the ice compartment but the service men say that we not only are wrong in our thought but that we are causing an excessive use of ice by placing articles there. Certain Places Best According to their advice there is a certain place for meats; butter should be kept here and the milk there; vegetables always should be kept in the same compartment and a certain distance from the sidewall or the center partition; there even is one place where onions may be kept crisp and fresh without contaminating the balance of the contents. Os course, these service men must examine each refrigerator before giving their expert advice since all refrigerators do not function according to the same principle. H. L. Dithmer, president of the company, advises that the service will be maintained throughout the summer and he will appreciate it highly if housewives will grant his service experts an audience when they present themselves at their homes. The service is free to all who will take advantage of it.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

USED AUTO BUYERS ASSURED OF VALUE

Warnock Firm Reconditions Cars Taken in Trades as Sales Policy. Few automobile dealers would be in the used car business if they could help it, but today there are comparatively few sales made that do not include a used car in the transaction. There was a time when the used car taken in was resold just as it was received. Most of the time the dealer did not know its real condition. This naturally resulted often in someone being disappointed with the purchase. Thus the purchase of a used car was thought of as a very speculative venture. This condition had to be overcome in order to provide a satisfactory market. -Soon Ford dealers were required

TELEPHONE ORDER SERVICE POPULAR

Merchants Make 486 Calls Over Traction Wires During Month. Four hundred and eighty-six telephone orders were taken over the private wires of the Indianapolis and Southern railroad during the month of April for merchants in outlying towns ordering goods from Indianapolis wholesale houses, it was reported today. The immediate acceptance of this free telephone service to customers has met with remarkable success and has resulted in a marked increase in both freight and express business for the company it is said. The end of the month report shows that Connersville merchants have availed themselves of the company’s telephone on 129 occasions. Rushville merchants are next in line with 124 orders, and those in Greensburg are close behind with 116 calls. Shelby ville merchants placed sixteen orders. Telephone orders from smaller towns varied from totals of nine to thirty-three for the month. Hourly express service is maintained on both Greensburg and Connersville divisions, in and out of Indianapolis. Freight trains are operated daily. Rapid delivery of goods thus is effected to customers from local wholesale houses. The I. & S. E. also provides hourly passenger parlor car service to Rushville, Connersville, Shelbyville,

Alaska Wins Favor of U. S. Vacation Tourists

'Land of the Midnight Sun’ Is Blessed With Ideal Summer Weather Vavacation time fast is approaching and our thoughts are turned toward myriad spots designed by nature for perfect rest. Alaska, the land of the Midnight Sun, the last untamed frontie of the American continent, makes an appeal to the imagination of every lover of nature and to those in whose minds a shade of romance still lingers and the stupendous ceations of the earth find a receptive echo. It is indeed a land of superlatives. Nowhere else is there such an immensity of grandeur in magnificent, picturesque, snow-clad mountains, beautiful turquoise and amethyst lakes, rushing, snow-clad mountains, beautiful turquoise and amethyst lakes, rushing, rugged streams and waterfalls; irresistable, ages-old glaciers; mysterious, awesome volcanoes; limitless, flower covered plains, rolling peaceful hills, and thousands of miles of fascinating ocean waterways protected by towering, forest-clad mountains rising from the waters edge. The world belatedly is learning that Alaska is blessed with ideal summers; that its winter weather in the interior and toward the Arctics is no more bleak and forbidding than that of northern and northwestern United States, and that along its southern coasts its climate is mild and equable and its ports are open all the year around. In Alaska the clothes worn in the winter or summer are the same as those worn in the towns of the northern states. An amazing land, full of unguessed beauties, a land of inspiring scenery, of endless riches and wild virginity—this is Alaska. The Alaska tour is one of the most popular for the summer tourist according to Richard A. Kurtz, travel department manager of the Union Tust Company, 120 East Market street. Full information, literature or itineraries, hotel reservations, sight-

to go over each car taken in and recondition it—that is replace any that required it and make necessary adjustments. This soon resulted in satisfied customers. The C. O. Warnock Company, 813823 East Washington street, have followed this policy for several years and as a result of conscientious service to used car buyers as well as those purchasing new cars, sales of the Warnock Company for the first two months of this year showed an increase of more than 250 per cent over the first two months of 1929. “We have four 1929 Model A Fords in our used car department,” states P. M. Vandivier, sales manager for the Warnock Company, “that pesent sarvings of fom SIOO to $175 each. They are fully equipped and in excellent condition. There are two 1929 coupes, a 1929 Tudor sedan, and a 1929 roadster. We gladly will demonstrate any of these models to any one interested in saving money.”

Greensburg and intermediate towns. In addition to substantial round trip fare reductions, the company also offers a series of plans of travel for commuters and those who travel often. One of the most prominent of these is the twelve-ride ticket, which is good for ten days and costs only eight times the one-way fare, a one-third saving. Forty-trip books, good for thirty days, at twenty-five times the one way fare, and si::ty-trip books at half-price, good for forty days, also are available. Another form of transportation is offered in $5 books sold for $4, a 20 per cent saving. These are good for one year and may be used by any number of riders at the same time. Each Sunday the excursion fare is one-way plus 10 cents for the round trip between all stations. After 4 p. m. on week days, evening excursion tickets are available at all agency stations. The price is the one-way fare for the round trip. Motor coaches operated by the company into Cincinnati make five round trips daily. Through connection is made at Greensburg with the electric line. The through fare to Cincinnati from Indianapolis is $3 one way, or $5 round trip. For convenience of traveling men, stop-over privileges are allowed on all first class interdivisional railroad and bus tickets between towns on the line between Indianapolis and Cincinnati. Such towns as Batesville, Sunman, Manchester, Aurora, and Lawrenceburg are served by the motor coach on the route into Cin- ' cinnati.

seeing and motor trips may be secured through this service department of the Union Trust Company, which offers its more than twenty years experience in planning and arranging pleasing, attractive, and economical tours.

WAREHOUSE IS WELL EQUIPPED FDR DRAPERIES Moth-Proof Vauit Used by City Firm to Protect Costly Hangings. The modern furniture and household goods warehouse today closely resembles a well designed systematic department store. Each article prepared for storage has its particular department, or location, in the warehouse scientifically designed for safe keeping. The Shank Fireproof Warehouse Company, 1430 North Illinois, has one of the most modern and up-to-date warehouses in the country. They offer many unique services that perhaps pleasantly would surprise any one who has not had the opportunity to visit their commodious, modern building. For example, among the most trying articles to store safely and satisfactorily through the summer season, are drapes, velvet hangings, tapestries, and oriental rugs. Folding Not Necessary Until recently it was necessary to fold them or lay them on shelves in storage. Asa result when taken from storage they were wrinkled and otherwise not in condition to be hung immediately. When the new Shank fireproof warehouse was built a special mothproof, burglar-proof vault was included in the plans, of sufficient size so that drapes, tapestries, oriental rugs, and similar articles could be stored in a natural hanging position. After being placed in the vault in a natural hanging position they are protected further by special, individual paper coverings. This paper is treated chemically to afford added moth protection. The vault, as the rest of the warehouse, is kept scrupulously clean and sanitary, being cleaned and fumigated once a week. The contents of the vault as a whole are protected from pilferage by a teargas, burglar-proof door, an added safety feature. Many Unusual Features The Shank warehouse has the distinction of being one of a very few warehouses in the United States equipped with such a vault. Much thought and study was given to this unusual service feature by Mrs. Lew Shank, president, before completing the details, the idea being to offer the public of Indianapolis the utmost service in connection with the storage of household goods. This is only one of the many unusual features of the Shank fireproof warehouse service. Regardless of what the public’s needs may be in connection with moving or storage, they are in a position to advise and serve.
