Channel Lake Pavilion / (Incorporated) The new Channel Lake Pavilion is one of the biggest pavilions in the state--Dance space 6IW square feet Quoted from"Kessinger's Mid-West Review AMERICA'S GREATEST FACTORY What is ihe greatest factory in the world? Ford's? The Steel Corporation? The General Electric Company ? Bald win Locomotive? All wrong. The American kitchen. Twenty million superintendents producing essentials for 115,000,000 people. The closing of this factory by a walkout or shutdown, Cessation of operations because of non delivery of raw material or whatever cause would be a calamity not to be described by mere words. In the case of a walkout, the man of the establishment might carry on, but that would not lessen the degree of calamity--much. Even the daughter might substitute her services, but the demands of modern girl life have not tended to equip her for the position of culinary superintendent. However, that calamity is not imminent. The •American housewife is efficient, steady, dependable, and the American kitchen will continue to function as heretofore--even better, because of the gas range. Mr. Kessinger continues with a bill of rights which he says--"demands that she be accorded those conveniences and comforts which the state insists shall be given by the employer to the employee." Mr. Kessinger is right. It's a fair demand. Ho# about the equipment of the factory at your bouse? /a^Westerr)Ui}ited Gas yjfo Electric Company C. B. COLLINS. Dtotrict Manager.
