SOME LOCAL FIRMS THAT EMPLOY OUk PEOPLE Do you know that Stewart’s Seed Store on North Sixteenth, opposite the post office, and one of the Moni tor’s advertisers, has had in its em ploy for some time at least three Colored employees, one man and two young women? Worth remembering, isn’t it, when you need anything in the way of seeds or flowers or poul try supplies? Do you know that the stock clerk in Matthews’ Book Shop on Harney street, opposite Boyd’s threatre, is a Colored girl? Well she is, and Mr. Matthews says that Miss Blanche Nance, that’s her name, is one of the I most efficient young women in his employ. Do you know that Miss Anna E. Logan has been for a number of years in complete charge of the manicuring department of the Thompson & Bel den stores at Sixteenth and Howard? They too are among our regular ad vertisers. Mrs. Blanche Simmonds is also employed by this firm and is in charge of their lunch department. IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT! CALLED TO SERVE COUNTRY OFFICE WILL BE KEPT OPEN Dr. W. W. Peebles, the well-known dentist, has answered the call of his country and has gone to the officers’ reserve training camp at Fort Des Moines, la. Many are under the im pression that his office at Thirteenth and Farnam streets, has been closed. This is not true. The office will be kept open and will be in charge of Dr. Craig Morris, whose skill as a dentist is attested by his many satis fied patients Dr. Peebles’ patients will therefore continue to receive the same skillful treatment which has built us his practice. Dr. Morris also volunteered his services to his coun try, but one was chosen to go and the other to remain and so it is a very1 happy provision that Dr. Morris is able not only to care for his own prac tice but also that of Dr. Peebles. While serving his country, Dr. Pee bles’ office will be kept open. BUY LIBERTY BONDS Among the members of our race in this city who have bought Liberty Bonds are F. L. Barnett, Dan Des Dunes, W. G. Haynes, Nate Hunter, M. F. Singleton, A. P. Scruggs, M. L. Wilson, and Omaha Lodge No. 146 A. F. and A. M. Doubtless there are several others, but advice of the same has not reached The Monitor. We are anxious to publish the full list. MERCHANTS OF OMAHA, ATTENTION PLEASE! The merchants of East St. Louis raised a vigorous protest because a mob of rowdies had driven from that city 1000 responsible Colored people, “WHO SPEND $1800 A WEEK WITH THE MERCHANTS OF THIS CITY” their statement reads. Omaha has nearly 8000 Negroes. How much do you think they spend weekly? Do you want their trade? Why not make that fact known by advertising in their only exclusive medium, THE MONITOR? Advertising in THE MONITOR is not a donation. It is a matter of wide-awake business. The Monitor reaches the Colored people of Omaha. Mr. and Mrs. H. S. Price left Thurs day morning for Chicago to spend three months with relatives of Mr. Price. “DELIGHTS IN THE MONITOR” Gentlemen: Please find inclosed 50 cents.
