That proceiuie finally got my w’ite s goat, and yesterday she delivered her ultimatum: "I am going to buy a hat tomorrow and you are going with me. I am tired of your ertticisms, so I am going to buy the hat you select and you will be respon-

sible for it.”

Being the master of my house, I surrendered and so today we went on the millinery expedition

shops.

There were hundreds of What milliners and women in general call ''hats", and all the prospective buyers seemed to enjoy their safari so much that I sort of entered into the gay spirit of 1 the thing and found it quite stimulating, too. I In these five shops I saw' approximately fifty hats that I ! thought were just right for my

wife.

But whenever I said "Thats ft", she Immediately replied, “No it isn't," and we went on and on. 1

Tomorrow my wife is going out again, this time by herself.

On January 29, 1947, R. E. Knoll finished a complete job of insulating our home. Words cannot express how happy we are to have had this work done for several

reasons.

First, we are positive we would not have had our home, today, had it not been for the fire-proofness of the insulation Mr. Knoll installed just one week previous. About ♦he middle of the afternoon we detected an odor of burning wood and smoke coming into the house, which we thought was from the fireplace in the dining room. However, near midnight we decided there must be fire inside the wall near the fireplace and called the Greencastle Fire Department for help. When they arrived it was discovered the damage was slight inasmuch as the insulation had held the fire in check and only a very small place, a foot square, was burned. Previously during very cold weather our living and dining room temperature ranged around 40 degrees, now it is from 70 to 75 degrees without additional firing. The entire house is much more comfortable. All statements made by Mr. Knoll when selling insulation to us are proving to be true although it was hard for us to believe them at that time. We do not hesitate to say that insulation is the best investment we have ever made. We wish to say that’Mr. Knoll has a very courteous and efficient crew doing his work and we cannot speak too highly of the way they handled our job. We are more than pleased. Yours very truly, M R. AND MRS. HARRY COLLINS. “Help to reduce your fire insurance rate by planning now to insulate”, (All insulation Pneumatically Installed.)
