CURE FOR SMOKEr CHIMJVEriS Get a hatchet, chop up all the ricketty furniture you have had from inexperienced House Furnishers, who know about as much of the business as the business knows of them, pile the broken rubbish in the grate, and set the same on fire. This will rid you of the sight and annoyance of worthless goods, and coax the most obstinate chimney into a proper performance of its duty. Should the process set the chimney on fire, it will re- move the accumulation of soot, leave the chimney quite clean, and show you conclusively that it should have been swept. You will then re-furnish with goods supplied by B-EVAN ANI) COMPANY (LIMITED), A-n d known throughout Wales as ZD THE CARDIFF FURNISHERS Whose experience of half-a-century and whose position as the Largest Furnishers in the Principality are sufficient guarantees that none but thoroughly reliable goods will be supplied.
