Francis auditorium on m An Open Letter to Mrs. N. B. Updike Dear Mrs. Updike: You and Mr. Updike have been patrons of The Pantorium for a great many years and only a few days ago I noticed a cleaning order from your granddaughter, little Jane Reasoner. It occurred to me that we were caring for the clothes of four generations of Updikes, for Mr. Updike’s father, Mr. Edward Updike, has also been one of our good customers for many years. When I go through our ledgers and note the names of so many of Omaha’s leading families who have been customers for years on years, it makes me feel that our efforts to give them “good cleaning and dyeing,” good service and square dealing is appreciated. Not for any con sideration would I allow The Pantorium quality or service to deteriorate. I hope we can keep you all until you, too, become great grandparents. Sincerely yours.

IDA M. COFFMAN IICUL. ILL. J b there is one thing more than another a woman dreads, it A is a surgical operation, and to be told that one is necessary is very disheartening. Hospitals arc grand institutions, and undoubtedly many op erations are necessary. However, we have received hundreds of letters from women who have been restored to health by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound after an operation had been deemed advisable. Every woman who suffers as Mrs. Coffman did naturally wishes to avoid an operation if possible, and the remarkable statements'whieh she makes in her letter will be read with interest by women everywhere.
