Curious persons in Cincinnati dubbed it "a glorious dish pan." Many frowned and said it invited fever, rheumatism and inflammation of the lungs. This was in 1842. In 1850 President Filmore of the United States had the first bathtub placed in the White House. He had bathed in the original "glorious dishpan" and had liked it so much that he decided to have one of his own. The White House "dishpan" remained until Cleveland became President, when a more modern contrivance took its place. Today the bathtub is a necessity, as is also running hot water at the faucets. Modem gas water-heaters and a quick, dependable, economical gas service, have done as much to make the bath a habit as the bathtub itself. ^ "The Gas Way is the Best Way" One cent's worth of gsp heats gallons of water Western United and Electric Co. - i .. --I.'-1 v; •• If . :£v ' j*"*".V*' mi (OFFICIAL PUBLICATION) ' THE REPORT OF THE CONDITION OF* FOX RIVER VALLEY STATE BANKJ located at McHenry, State of Illinois, at the close of business on the 29th day of Dee., MB, ha made to the Auditor of Public Accounts of the State of Illinois, pursuant to law.
