YOU have been reading these Title Talks continuously and are now convinced that an abstract is a good thing, and that 35 for you and the lands you buy, you will insist on one. But how about the lands you have already bought? Can you put your hands on all your title papers? Has your lawyer passed on your titles and pronounced them good? Why not look up your numbers and go over the list and see about the abstracts? Jf they are not all there, you should lose no time in getting abstracts made for every tract--even tho you never expect to sell. It's no more than long-sighted business prudence to do this. The abstract will settle all question of the title once for all. McHenry County AbStradt Co.

With the ordinary machine it is necessary to spend a large part of each day's work in winding and changing bobbins. The average bobbin holds less than 50 yards of thread. The average spool holds 200 yards. Think of the time you save--and the labor! You sew direct from two spools of thread. The lower spool fits in the spool case, which answers the purpose of a shuttle, while the other is placed on the spool pin, as usual. You will not be annoyed by the lower thread running out unexpectedly in the middle of a seam. The amount of thread on the lower spool is indicated by the condition of the upper spool. The automatic tension is a genuine time-saver. It produces a perfed flitch, without ad­ justment, on all classes of work. It saves the time necessary in changing tensions on ordin­ ary machines. • This innovation in sewing machines--this triumph of the Twentieth Century--is unique­ ly simple. It is easy to understand and to operate and you will soon become proficient in its use. In easy running: qualities--in the wide range of work possible and in the points of per­ fect sewing and durability, the Eldredge Two Spool is pre-eminent. To see it, is to want it --to to it, is to buy it. N. A.
