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.

The Operation I Avoided—
MR*. 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.
Mrs. Coffman's Letter Follows:
