Cheek Dear Mrs, Cheek: When The Pantorium first opened its South Omaha office, twelve years ago, you ami Mr. Cheek were among our very first customers, and have re mained with us ever since.

It has always been a source of pride to mo t< l now that the majority of Omaha’s live busines men who do so much for the city have also don< much to promote the growth of The Pantorium. I feel safe in saying that at least one-half of the leading business men of Omaha are regular customers of ours, and in South Omaha the per centage is even larger. I want you and Mr. Cheek, and all our other friends and pntrons'in South Omaha, to know that we greatly appreciate your patronage and confi dence. and that is why we maintain n branch office at. 24th and 1, for your convenience.
