Her San Antonio, Texas, wrote us as follows: "I am glad to write this letter and hope it will help other people as much as Barcentrate has helped me. I was 30 pounds overweight when I started to use Barcentrata and I am proud to say I have reduced the desired weight. The nice thing about it, I was never hungry as you would be with many diets. "I am still using Barcentrato as a tonic. It keeps me feeling fit and what's more, I keep my weight right where I want it.

I surely praise Barcentrate. I would never be without it." Get Barcentrate from any Texaa druggist. If the very first bottla doesn't show you the way to taka off ugly fat, quickly, easily and without starvation diet, return empty bottle for your money buck. This month most appliance dealers have a special offer for you on an electric clothes dryer. Check with your favorite dealer and see how economical it is to own and operate your own electric dryer.

Take your Valentine out of the backyard. Free her from that outdated clothes line! Give her a modern electric dryer for her laundry. She'll love you more for it, because it takes all the drudgery out of drying clothes. And, no matter what the your electric dryer makes clothes fluffy and sunshine fresh. And, clothes last Jonger, too.
