THE Sfflll COPPER CABLE fACTORY AT LINCOLN
GREAT EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION.
Lincoln, rightfully famous for her great educational institutions,
is fortunate in being the location of one of the greatest business col
leges in the county, the Nebraska School of Business. Located in
the new Chapin block, Fourteenth and O streets, it has the finest
quarters and the best equipment of any business school in the entire
west; The thorough training that this great school gives its students
is evidenced by the fact that its graduates may be found occupying
high salaried and responsible positions all over the west. The
"beautiful building housing the school was designed and constructed
with a view to making it the most convenient and modern of business
schools. Light is admitted to the room from all sides, the main
auditorium is seated with desks of the latest model, the typewriting
rooms are silenced and equipped with modern machines and ap
pliances. Everything in the line of modern business is taught, bank
ing, merchandising, shipping, etc., and the work is carried on with
all the precision of a successful business institution involving huge
capital and employing an army of men and women. The student
who completes his chosen course in the Nebraska School of Business
is prepared to enter the business world well equipped for a suc
cessful career. W. M. Bryant, president of the school, is a man of
wide experience in his profession, and to the building up of this
great institution he has given his time and talent. He is ably
assisted by H. D. Ballard, business manager; Gertrude Beers, vice
president, and Q. "W. Ballard, secretary. All these are members of
the teaching force, and they are assisted by L. E. Terry, D. G. Mc
Allister, Ruth Gearhart and Andrew Deer. From every point of
view location, equipment, success and interest in its students, the
Nebraska School of Business has taken front rank among the great
educational institutions located in Nebraska's Capital City.
THE CONCRETE INDUSTRY.
t
The world has progressed through the stone age and the iron
age, and is now well launched into the age of concrete. Cement
construction has made wonderful strides during the last few years,
and is already one of the great industries of today, furnishing em
ployment to thousands of men. It, too, is conserving our timber
supply, cheapening construction and making for permanency. This
industry is growing rapidly in Lincoln ,and Elliott Brothers, whose
factory is located at 945 North Twenty-sixth street, are keeping
well to the front. Their poured concrete building blocks are dif
ferent from the old style cement block, in that every block is
poured, and no two blocks are alike in face, thus doing away with
the monotony of appearance. Again, their blocks are white and
impervious to water. "Water held against the face of one of their
blocks for a period of sixty days did not penetrate through. It
will be readily observed that this is a valuable feature. These
gentlemen are prepared to take care of orders from out of the city
city as well as in. In addition to manufacturing building blocks
they manufacture concrete walls, floors and sidewalks and do house
raising. Their factory gives steady employment to twelve men, and
the force is being increased. Any work entrusted to the care . of
Elliott Bros, will receive prompt attention and will be performed in
a satisfactory manner. Auto B-2749.
' xHS MANUFACTURE OF CANDY.
The volume of money invested in the manufacture of candy and
confections is something immense. It is one of the largest branches
of American business, and in the line of edibles ranks well up with
meats and breadstuffs. This newspaper has taken occasion many
times to express wonder that Nebraskans are not more loyal to
their home institutions, thus aiding in building them up. Such
loyalty would result in the investment of more capital at home,
the employment of more men and women, and the consequent en
largement of all branches of business. If all the candy consumed in
Nebraska were made in Nebraska, it would quadruple the capital
now invested in that business and increase the army of its employes
.threefold. And this is what should be done, not only because they
are home institutions but because their product is equal to the best
made anywhere in the world, and far better than most. Gillen &
Boney, manufacturers of fine candies, began business in a small
way in Lincoln a few years ago. They had to fight against indiffer
ence too often manifested towards home institutions, and over
come an ill-founded prejudice in favor of articles manufactured
away from home. But they persevered, and by the excellence
of their product and their enterprise they have won success. Today
Gillen & Bonney's candies are known the country over. Anything
bearing the Gillen & Bonney brand is now accepted everywhere
as being the best. But they are not receiving the encouragment at
home that they are entitled too. Nebraskans who ought to know
better, still ask for candies made in the east, thus sending their
money away from home, handicapping local business and discrim
inating against their own neighbors and business associates. Gillen
& Boney are not asking patronage on the ground that they are doing
business in Nebraska. They ask it because their produce is the
best. And these two reasons should impel all Nebraskans to stand
by them. The Gillen & Boney factory on North Eighth street,
between P and Q, is one of the model candy factories of the
country. Its cleanliness and perfect sanitation are remarked by all
visitors. Its conveniences for the comfort of the employes are all
that can be supplied by the most expert. It is providing steady
employment to a small army of people, and it brings to Lincoln
and Nebraska thousands of dollars every year. "When you ask for
the Gillen & Boney product you are asking for the best, helping to
build up Nebraska's manufacturing business and keeping your
dollars at work right here at home.
COURTINa FILTHY DISEASES.
In the American Magazine for April Julian Leavitt, writing on
the topic of convict labor, says: "Last December I saw, in a dark,
unventilated cell in the Eastern penitentiary at Philadelphia, three
consumptive looking negroes feverishly licking the wrappers on
cigars that they were making. I asked the guards if these cigars
were sold on the market. 'O, yes,' he answered, 'but not in any high
class shops, you know'." But how are you and I to know when we
get one of these f The truth of the matter is that a great many of
the cigars sold in Nebraska are made in tenements under sanitary
conditions that are frightful, and by workers who are victims of
the foulest diseases. Imagine, if you can, when you bite the tip
off of that "perfecto," that the tip was licked into shape by some
man or woman afflicted with any of the horrible diseases which
might be easily carried! And that is the risk every smoker runs
Lincoln rightfully boasts of being the home of more than one of
"the world's largest" institutions, but it is known to comparatively
few that Lincoln is the home of one of the largest lightningrod
manufacturing plants in the United States, therefore in the world.
This supremacy has come so quickly that the public at large has
had little time in which to take note thereof. And this supremacy so
soon won, is due to the business acumen and enterprise of one man,
coupled with a superiority of product that' is so evident that little
argument must be advanced in its favor. "W, C. Shinn, the manu
facturer of copper cable lightningrods, has been engaged in that
line for many years. He manufactured his own rods, then went
out and sold them. In this way he became posted on both the mak
ing and the selling ends, and learned the needs and the desires of
consumers. He gave the business scientific study, and as a result
he invented and devised the Shinn system, which is today admittedly
the best known system of protection against lightning. So thorough
ly is Mr. Shinn convinced of the superiority of his product that
he has voluntarily bonded himself to repay to any customer the
money paid for Shinn lightning rods or appliances in case they fail
to do as guaranteed. In other words, if your house has been rodded
by a Shinn dealer holding a certificate, and your house is struck by
lightning, the money paid for the rodding will be refunded. Mr.
Shinn gives his personal supervision to every detail of manufacture,
who buys cigars from unknown makers. But why buy from un
known makers? "Why not buy the product of home manufacturers?
Thus you are insured against any of the evils mentioned by Mr.
Leavitt. You are buying the labor of your own fellow citizens. You
are helping to boost home industry. You are invited to visit and
inspect at any time the cigar factory of J. Pepperberg, 813 O street.
It is sanitary in every respect. It is manned by skilled workmen
who labor under conditions that make impossible the risks mentioned
by Mr. Leavitt. And the Pepperberg product has no superior any
where. There are no better nickel cigars on the market than
"Buds" or "Little Pepperbergs," and no better piece of 10 cent
goods than "Flor de Pepperberg." The Pepperberg factory is one
of the leading cigar factories of the west, and because of the ex
cellence of its product it is building 'up a business that is advantag
eous to this city. "When you buy the Pepperberg output you are
sure of a good piece of goods, well made under sanitary conditions..
And at the same time you are standing by a home industry.
arid looks carefully into the qualifications of every man who installs
his system. It is this attention in person to minute details, together
with a policy of dealing fairly with all people, that has resulted in
the building up in Lincoln of the largest manufactory of lightning
rods in the world. The establishment furnishes employment to a
large number of people and is one of the big institutions of the
city. Its product is to be found in all parts of the country, and the
"Shinn System" is today universally recognized and adopted be
cause of its scientific excellence. In the old days the ."lightning
rod agent" was a source of annoyance usually, because many of
them were "grafters" and most .of them irresponsible. All this is
changed today. Mr. Shinn has abolished the old methods and sub
stituted a new era. His lightning rods are built on scientific prin
ciples and guaranteed to do a certain work. Formerly lightning
rods were made merely to sell. He has established a system of
square dealing in' the lightningrod business, and as a result has
built up an enormous factory and made his name a household word.
At every state fair the Shinn exhibit with its enormous electrical
machinery producing real lightning that strikes real Shinn rods on
a real house, is always surrounded by a huge crowd of interested
spectators. It is always a pleasure to this newspaper to commend
institutions of merit, and it is an especial pleasure in this case. The
Shinn factory is a home institution that deserves patronage upon its
merits and upon the merits of its product. " V'-V'
CONVINCING REASONS.
Those seven reasons (wife and six children) that "Will Maupin
gave for wanting to become railroad commissioner had great effect
in places and almost carried the day. Hastings Democrat.
Thanks ! And if the democrats of Nebraska had known the
wife and the six kiddies as we know 'em, there wouldn't have been
but one name marked for railway commissioner on the democratic
primary ballot. But we were so all-fired busy digging up for the
daily supplies that we didn't have time to introduce them to all
the voters. However, the whole bunch of us is feeling just as
chipper as ever, and there isn't a disappointment lurking anywhere
in our collective systems. ."Dad" is feeling just as good as if he
had won out, the Little "Woman keeps singing away, and the six
kiddies are just as noisy and happy and lusty as ever. And that's
a condition of affairs that beats holding any old political office with
in the gift of the people. ,
