MISTAKE IN SPELLING
Mall Malone, C pi I n ( attic Silt s
man. His Not Changed Hi
Name and Siill on the .lob
How aggravating type is anyhow
when the proof leader fails to do hi"
duty in reading the stuff that's print
ed in a newspaper. Our apologies
are due Snyder-Malone-Cofl'man Co..
prominent live stock commission
men of Omaha, on account of a typo
graphical error appearing In their
advei tisement which has been run
ning In this paper the last few weeks,
two mistakes in fact which we wish
to correct.
The initials ;f L. R. Guerin have
been printed as C. R , but the worst
mistake was that of changing the
name of Matt Malone to Mart Ma
lone. We do not know whether
there is a Mart Malone or not, but
we know that Matt Malone who has
been doing business on the South
Omaha market as a head cattle sales
man for the last seventeen yeurs is
still on the Job.
Matt Malone is known all over the
west as a successful cattle salesman
and has an unexcelled record and
reputation as such. We do not want
any of the readers of this paper to
get the idea, because of a typograph
ical error, that he is not on the Job
yet, hence thiB correction and explanation.
