the one installed is of the most modern

appliances. The hospital hus made a
marked growth since its organization
but a few years ago and this has been
duo to the fact that nothing was spurcd

The Hoosier Plan is Simply This:
1. SI puts any Hoosier you select in your

tory prevails strictly.
4. The Sale is under direct supervision of
tho Hoosier Company.
5. No interest. No cktra fees.
6. Your money back if you aro not delighted

What Possible Reason can re,raaln dePjjy.a

this ad, but we make this final announcement to keep
