The popping back suguests a leaky

to a leak in inlet manifold. Partly
closing choke valve by priming device
on dash offsets this by giving a richer
mixture. When engine heats up the.

The August Sale of Furs
August is growing late, ‘1.
the summer is passing and
there is small comfort in,
looking at a calendar that
assures us the year is two '
thirds gone. By all sig113_}

six weeks to frost, and tutu

'Again, and thisvls important—the;
best of pelts are made up first; scleu
tions are made unhurriedly and work",
is more carefully done.
Rarely has the Read House been able
to offer any line of Coats or Fur Sets,
of highcr'quality 01' more elegant ap-
pearance than this August of 1917. ,1
i
!
it has been explained why furs are
at such reasonab prices in August.
Because the big Furriers, the reputable
houses, wish to keep their skilled work-
man busy through the dull summer
months, and prices are on a lower scale.
Garments and Furs are offered to re-
' tailers at low prices, and' in return priv-
