BRUTALLY
MAYOR BROTHERS OF LIN
COLN QUIT FROM BUSINESS
Started in Business in Platts-
mouth Many Years Ago and
Remained for Years.
From Saturday's Dally.
Ihe retirement of ttie Mayer
Urol hers, Charles, Henry and
Simon, from active business, is to
be regretted from one angle and
rejoiced in from another. Regret
that men so successful and enter
prising should retire from active
business; rejoicing that they have
reached a point where they can
lake life easy. The, Mayer Hroth-
ers have been engaged in business
for thirty years. Beginning iii
rather a small way small com
pared with the business they have
just sold, large in comparison
with the Lincoln of Hint time
they have grown with the city.
Their faith in Lincoln's future
was great from the beginning, and,
that faith is due much of their
financial success. As they made
money in their business they in
vested it in Lincoln real estate,
with Ihe result, that, today llieir
holdings are extremely valuable.
I'his newspaper rejoices in their
success, and wisties lor tliem in
their retirement from active bui-

icipate. Will .Miiupin's Weeklv.
The older residents of Platls-
mnnlh remember the .Mayeii
rs'rotliers when they were here hi
nismess over thirty years "'ago.
They occupied Ihe old frame
building at the lower end of Main
street! now ocfipied by Jacob
Heinrieh,. and1 remained here dur
ing the most prosperous days of
this city. They dVme a large busi
ness, their trad oxlending for
miles across the river, and west
and HiMitli the fuFC extent of Cass
county. Likrt many others who
removed from Pfaftsniouth, they
remained here raitif they made
enough1 money to spread nut in i
a larger city, and1 then .shook the
Plattsmouth dust from their feet
and wrnt to Lirwirrr, where I hey
were prosperous from Ihe date of
opening their doors hi the capital
city. Mayer BViithrs claim to
posses a warm spot, in their
hearts for Platfsmonth and they
should have, because right here
is where they got' their start. They
are now so well' tlxed' that they rr

When Miss Svea Johnson left
yesterday afternoon for Omaha
she bade good-bye to several of
her friends, telling them she
would join them again in a couple
of weeks. The meeting came
sooner than she anticipated, for
while sealed in the car and in deep
conversation with Miss Irene
Jess concerning their different
places of husiness, she remem
bered of a very important written
message she had forgotten ami
for which the trip was made. She
reached the Omaha Hurlington
station safely and there boarded
No. 2 for our city again. "I could
not keep away," she answered
when asked the reason nf the
hasly return. She left on the 7:15
over the Missouri Pacitlc, accom
panied by her sister, Miss Ida, and
several friends, who think it a
very good joke.
