Inquiring concern-ing his actions, a local busi-ness man learned that the vi- - sitor had lived in Springville for a time and then moved to Provo, but at regular intervals he came to Springville to get his drinking water.

It isn't chlorinated, its real spring water. It even cured my wife of rheumatism the visitor went on, as he con-tinued to fill his gallon jugs. Springville's water has been tested at some of the purest in the state, probably due to the fact that it never sees day-light from its source into the home. s ;. ; i i : i i j . . - W ' ; t I ''.;--- - - ,;'- - ' I' I . - "1 . v I " ! , v, I. , , v v.. i' i J pical of families the country over, that of the Frank W.
