Oil companies of Nebraska started court proceedings months ago to get this money returned to them and ob tained a temporary Injunction against Its expenditure by Stuhr as secretary until the legality of the state's col lection of licenses had been decided In court. About a week ago, the Douglas county district court decided the case against the company and as soon m Stuhr was officially notified of the court's action he released the money. The governor i asserted that Stuhr had exceeded his authority In keeping this money In his private account. The governor claims hs had directed the attorney general to consult Stuhr's bondsmen and have them force Stuhr to put the money to the credit of the state. . , Stuhr contended he was under court order to hold the money until proper steps had been taken to dismiss the Injunction against him.

Millar % !___ A Revolution of Retail Grocery Selling Retail Grocers of Omaha Are Starting an Effective Selling Movement to Maintain Their Enviable Record for High Quality Foods at Low Prices «/^MAHAS HANDY SERVICE STORES” II organization is a community service bom of the necessities of modern merchandising. The retail grocers of Omaha and the vicinity, whose names and addresses are given below, have formed what is considered the most effective and economical selling plan this city has ever known. Omaha’s Handy Service Stores are not “Chain Stores.” They are independently owned and the personality of the owner is reflected in each store. The man in the store is the owner. He is your neighbor. He knows you and your family. You know him and his famliy. His growing business has been founded on that con fidence which mutual friends unconsciously instill into their daily business transactions. By co-operation many duplications of expense will be prevented and the saving effected will come to our customers in* lower prices than could otherwise be maintained. We independent grocers of Omaha are justly proud of our record of having maintained for our city the third from the lowest in average cost of food for years past. This substantiates the fact as established by government research that the cost of operation-among independent ly owned groceries is much less, when compared with the volume of business, than it is in ehain stores. These same statistics also show that aside from advertised leaders, the margin of profit taken is less in the in dependently owned stores than in chain stores. It is for the purpose of keeping the consumers of Omaha informed on the high quality of our foods and extend ing to them advantages that the market may afford from time to time, that we have subscribed to this advertising service. • If you find an article advertised under the sign of the HANDY SERVICE STORE you can rely on the quality being up to the description. We will buy only merchan dise that has secured the stamp of public approval as shown by general distribution and ready sale. We pro tect each other from the impositions of firms producing foods of unsatisfactory quality and secure for our trade the choicest that the market affords. Telephone accommodations, delivery service, credit and courtesy are marks of distinction that make OMAHA’S HANDY SERVICE STORES stand out like landmarks in the avenues of trade. % The man at the head of the Handy Service Store is not working by the week. He is working at his chosen life’s job. His interest in his business leads him to satisfy his customers. Honest merchandise, fair prices and integrity in dealing are the three cardinal virtues of business life. His invested capital and the comfort of home in his declining years are at stake. This is your guarantee that the Handy Service Stores are founded on sound business morals. , Watch the Newspaper Each Friday for Our Advertisement Under a Similar Heading.
