Automobile owners of Flint have
long expressed the need of an estab-
lishment to which they might send
their cars for complete ,renovation,
mechanical troubles excepted.
Kenworthy & Ilanaford occupy a
building erected especially for this
purpose. This building, unlike the or.
Binary paint shop, contains separate
finishing rooms that may be entirely
closed from the rest of the build-
ing. From the finishing rooms the
cars are removed to drying rooms,
where they are allowed to remain at
a correct drying temperature, there-
fore insuring a perfect finish, free
from dust. Motors are also coup
pletely cleaned and painted during
this process.
Kenworthy & Ilanaford's top and
upholstering department is reputed
capable of caring for every automo-
bile requirement, whether it lie an
entire replacement or a small repair
job. They furnish slip-covers for
closed cars, tire covers. special driv-
ing cushions. special winter tops for
Fords and other accessories.
SERVICE that is prompt,
Service that is accurate,
Service that is efficient, is assured here;
but more than this we offer
Service that is friendly
Service that is courteous,
Service that is enthusiastic.

The M. & S. Electric. Company has
the distinction of being the first elec-

household appliances.
Following several years' observa-

on the Western Electric Company's
line of household appliances because
by actual test of the ultimate users
they proved to give the best service
and greatest efficiency. The large

IENNA—A few weeks ago the of-

the news to the press of Vienna that
there was ill Hungary a sort of "sui-
cide mania" or epidemic. During the
last year suicides have increased more
than tIve-fold. Of course, no one could

Most of the newspapers printed the
dispatch without comment or discus-
shin of any kind. In a tow lines the
subject was disposed of. A few days
later the snore press bureau announced
that the wine merchant, Adolph Lan-

charge of "espionage," t•ointnitted sui-

that the statement is merely an "of-

Some of the Vienna newspapers
which are not connected with the Hun-
garian government and which do not
receive aid from Martha's' administra-

terious suicide of the merchant Adolph
Landau, but the world paid little at-

about it and have followed out their
