Caution to Consumers of Coal Oil.
BSfThli company from thU date will not handle IliHurmico Oil and INiro-
lllio'for the following reasons i Insurance Oil Tank Co. who claim to own
these Trade Mark brands have not during several years past had any regular source of Oi'
supplies but have received Iiisiiranco Oil and PtirolillO from sources where they
could buy cheapest without refrurd to quality. IiiHunuico OH is simply
nny quality ol Water White oil. Consumers havo no truitruntco of its Fire
Test or purity. Furolilio is sirnpiy any quality of 74 Gasoline. As Gasoline
varies great y in purity consumers should only buy under the proper-name of 74 0 Gas-
oline and then be sure the goods are guaranteed by responsible parties. The quality ol
Insurance OH and PurollllO which has been furnished by Insurance Oil Tank
Co. has almost entirely stopped the demand but we wish to warn intended purchasers we
Will not ho responsible for these brands. Very Respectfully

wcru num. ui. iiiiurvuis irom uere to Mexico by
tho Spanish priests during their spiritual con-
quest of this Boetlou. All of them are In nilnu

though t hey were erected in tho hlstorio period

which they uro decorated Is something wun-
