fl9(Q)(g
WITH GREAT ENTHUSIASM we celebrate the Twenty-fifth Anniversary of our business a business
started in 188! upon a foundation built to endure. Success was certain, because from the beginning our constant aim has been RIGHT
GOODS, RIGHT TREATMENT . and RIGHT PRICES, tj The great volume of our business tells more eloquently than we are able to
express in cold type the wonderful success we have met with not a success we command, but a success we deserve, since our progress is due to the
fact that we have always given to everyone a "SQUARE DEAL." The result is that today we are selling clothing to men who in years past bought
small boys' clothing from us. But we are not content to rest upon laurels' won. For months we ' have planned the Twenty-fifth Anniversary Sale,
abundantly providing for a great selling event in which we shall demonstrate decisively that this store is the best place in Lincoln to buy Men's and
Boy's Clothing, and Men's, Women's and Children's Shoes. ,

OF INTEREST TO PRINTERS
Typographical Union No. 209 held
an election last Tuesday, and It was
participated in by about one-half the
membership. The election was for the
purpose of voting on the four proposi
tions submitted to the referendum by
the Colorado Springs convention. The
each. This has come up two or three
times before, but the proposition at
this time, coming after nine months
of a 10 per cent and a promised siege
of many months at 7 per cent, made
the proposition appears to the mem
bership a little too much "pork." The
first proposition was on the question of members evidently believed that if
raising the salaries of the president they had to stand "digging up" 10 per
and secretary-treasurer $600 a year , cent of their little old $16 and $20 per
week, surely the executive officers
could get along a little while longer
on $2,100 a year and expenses. At any
rate the salary proposition was snowed
under in Lincoln by a vote of 52 to E
The Wageworker is almost ashamed
to give the result of the vote on the
proposition to increase the monthly as
sessment for the Home. It was pro
posed to make the monthly Home dues
fifteen instead . of. ten cents an in
crease of a nickel a month, the price
on one "tub of suds." , And No. 209
defended the proposition by a vote of
30 to 21. This, too in the face of the
fact .that the increase was not to be
gin until after the assessment was
declared off. The proposition to adopt
an explanation of the obligation, which
was about as - necessary as a sixth
wheel on a wagon, carried by a vote
of 47 to 3. The proposition to leave
the expenditure of the strike wholly
in the hands of the executive council

Four years ago John J. Eagan, a mem

The " membership should turn tj
page 478 or the October Journal and
let the figures thereon printed printed
soak into their gray matter. The in
ternational paid $283 for a week's rent
of the "Temple-theatre," an old, and
dilapidated frame structure, then paidt
a janitor $25 for his services, $10 for,
chairs to seat it, and $77.65 for the ta
bles used by the delegates and officers.'
The Lincoln auditorium, a modern
structure, may be rented "a week for
$150, with all chairs,- janitor service,
etc, thrown in and the Lincoln audi
torium is three times as big as the
"Temple theatre." Another item
shows that the sum of $760.71 was paid
for expressage on nine trunks and four
boxes from Indianapolis to Col
orado Springs and back, an av
erage of something like $58 per
trunk and box. Yet there -were -eight
clerks taken from Indianapolis to Col
orado , Springs, and they could prob
ably have checked most of the stuff
in those trunks. The tidy sum of
$760.71 would almost pay for a freight
train from Indianapolis to Colorado
Springs. Vice President Hays shows
up with an item of $196.75 as "balance
of expenses to Colorado-Springs." We
were afraid to look 'and see what the'
first allowance for expense was. -The
Out West Publishing company , was
paid $1,338.71 for publishing the daily

2,000 copies furnished. Eight clerks

dianapolis to attend to the clerical
work of a convention consisting of less
than 225 delegates. In addition there
was a reading clerk and two or three
employes appointed from the Colorado,
Springs union at a salary of $25 a
week each. Last year the attendance
at the Nebraska Press association was
upwards of three hundred, and it was
in session two days. A full steno
graphic report was made and printed,
and the total expense, including the
secretary's salary, was $225. Had it
been in session three times as long tho'
total expense would have been less
than the express charges on "nine
trunks and four boxes to and from Col
orado Springs." The printed proceed
ings of the Nebraska Press association
make at least 50 per cent of as much
matter as is contained in tije published
reports of the Colorado Springs meet
ing. Yet 1,000 copies of these printed
minutes cost $125. And It didn't re
quire any eight clerks to get the min
utes in shape , for the printer, either.
The expense account in the Journal
shows $50 paid for a room at the Ant
lers hotel "for meeting . presidents of
striking unions." The room must have
had about seven baths and toilets in
connection and a dumb waiter. But
$760.71 expressage oi "nine trunks and
four boxes!'.' Surely that is a typo
graphical error. A Lincoln man last
week received from Yokanoma, Japan,
a shipment of goods weighing 4,540
pounds. The total freight charges
from Yokahoma to Omaha and from
Omaha back to Lincoln were only $74.
