H. A. ANDERSON & CO., 143 NORTH
THIRTEENTH STREET.
Merchant tailoring in its highest de
velopment is more than a profession.
To adapt the apparel to the man
means more than to simply fit him; it
means to harmonize colors aid pat
terns to the wearer's individual pecu
liarities of build, to emphasize the
Kood loirtB and reduce the bad. Tco
few tailors possess this really artis
tic faculty,' hut among the few may be
mentioned Mr. Anderson, located at
143 North Thirteenth street, as one
of the- high class tailors in this see
tlon. Mr. Anderson has been furnish
ing custom made clothes at a price
that suits wage earners. He is a

ciate any orders. His motto is, that
there are no orders too small and
none too large, i Remember the loca
tion, 1541 O street.
THE LINCOLN TAILORING CO., 132
SOUTH TWELFTH ST.
Lincoln has long since demonstrat
ed her rightful claim "as one of the
most thrifty, energetic and up to date
cities to be found In the west. - This
claim was not, however, gained by
virtue of a few. struggles, but .through
the ceaseless efforts of men who are
quick to grasp the needs and demands
of the people. By strict application
to business, by fair and impartial deal
ings with all their customers, and by
prompt and courteous treatment, this
linn has long since taken its place in
the ranks of live business houses. The
Lincoln Tailoring Co. readily con
ceived' the Idea that high prices for
custom made clothes were prohibitive
ana promptly slashed such prices un
til today hundreds of men who labor.
wear their tailor-made suits and over-
.coats. Their prices, coupled with ex
cellent quality and style, have created
a popular favor, for clothes made by
this firm. This company has always
displayed a friendly feeling to orga
nized labor. This company is located
at 132 toouth Twelfth street.
THE LINCOLN DRUG CO., WHOLE
SALE DRUGS.
Lincoln Is rapidly growing in every
essential element and her commerce.
trade and manufacturers have multi
plied at a very satisfactory rate. At
the present time our business men
are reaching out in all directions and
bringing under commercial tribute to
this city vast eras of territory hither
to but little reached from here. In like
manner our great manufacturing con
cerns are constantly invading new ter
ritory, so there are at the present time
but few places in the country where
the articles from Lincoln are not to
be foond In greater or less profusion.
A field of Industry that has gained im
mense proportions in this city Is that
of the Lincoln Drug Co., an Industry
that Is one of the foremost factors in
promoting the commercial Importance
and general development of the com
munity. The marked success of this
company is attributed in no small de-
gree to the able management of their
business and honorable methods of
dealing with trade. Their stock is
large, comprehensive - and attractive,
and all goods are sold at the lowest
possible prices consistent with legiti
mate Ijusiness methods. This is a home
institution that the people as a whole
should foster and encourage. This
company has been in business ten
years.
LINCOLN TELEPHONE CO.
The telephone is the most indispen
sable necessity of today. It unites a
family and annihilates time and dis
tance, travels as it were, in the frac
tion of a minute, answers to your whim
and humor, and generally speaking Is
the least expensive or all public serv
ice. Telephone service as rendered by
the Lincoln Telephone Company rep
resent that great efficiency. The brains
and genius of matured telephone ex
perts, it is an era when wage earners
now can avail themselves oi its great
features. The Lincoln Telephone Co.
is purely a home institution and is
owned entirely by local people. This
company has In operation over nine
thousand phones, and connects with
over one hundred thousand phonc-i in
the south Platte and neighboring
states. With Denver and Omaha both
adding independent local plants It Is
made possible for Lincoln users of the
Automatic Telephone to talk with
either city, and all important points.
The growth of this company has been
phenomenal, and it is the earnest de
sire of its management to give to sub
scribers the best possible telephone
service. A large nuirfber of new sub
scribers are being dally added to their
new ll8ti Every dollar paid to this
company for service rendered and
wages and salaries paid to its em
ployes is spent right here at home
among our home merchants, and does
not go abroad. We urge our citizens
to co-operate and patronize this worthy
home institution. The most success
ful of the independent exchanges are
those that are equipped with the auto
matic system. -With-the automatic
there are no delays, no ringing con
nections, no nerve-racking service with
operators. You operate the simple
calling" machine yourself; you ring
your party's bell yourself, and you
know the party has been called and
rung. If he Is busy you get a busy sig
nal; if he Is out you get no reply. This
Is simple and buslness-llke. Uniform
courtesy to patrons is an Imperative
rule of this company. The officers are
F. H. Woods, president; A. W. Field,
vice-president; W. E. Sharp, secretary
and treasurer; L. E. Kurtz, general
manager.
SECURITY INVESTMENT CO., 148
SOUTH THIRTEENTH ST.
Real property, land improved or un
improved, has since and before the
time of Abraham and Lot, been con
sidered the most secure holding a man
or woman can have. The land can
neither be burned up, torn down or
stolen bodily. It is always worth
something, and upon it one may build
or plant, or in it dig. In this country
not enough stress is laid on the value
of private ownership. The poor man
and the members of that vast throng
who labor for a daily wage would do
well Indeed to Invest their small sur
plus of earnings in real estate by
means of. small but regular payments
If necessary, that time would enable
them to call themselves owners of real
property. Instead of these small earn
ings being fritted away in the num
berless ways which 3-ield a slight pass
ing satisfaction, but do not bring sub
stantial returns. In the firm of the
Security Investment Co., the city has
one of the most reliable firms to rep
resent her In this important line of
business. They deal in all kinds of
real estate, choice farm lands in Ne
braska and surrounding states. Their
offices are located at 148 South "Thir
teenth street. The officers are R. E.
Moore, president, and John Moore,
vice-president.
M. H.
HICKMAN, 143 NORTH FOUR
TEENTH STREET.
Mr. Hickman is entitled to as great
a distinction as any business man in
our city. He conducts one of the bus
iest grocery establishments In the city
and is among the best known and most
successful of our merchants. His wide
range of experience and more than
ordinary ability to grasp and take ad
vantage of every condition and oppor
tunity places him in that class of
merchants and business men which
are a credit to a city. In presenting
these facts it is with a spirit to en
courage a more active contact with
man who has nothing but the friend
liest interest in union labor. In this
city Mr. Hickman's record of four
years' business activity is a monument
to his character. He enjoys the pat
ronage of the best people, who wish
him continued success.
LINCOLN GAS & ELECTRIC LIGHT
COMPANY.
The Lincoln Gas & Electric Light
Co. is one of our largest institutions,
and employs an army of men. They
have always paid the highest wages
and believe in good organizations when
well conducted. This company has al
ways taken a leading part n any
movement that would benefit Lincoln
The lighting facilities of a city are of
vital importance to the community.
This is an enterprise that has de
manded an immense outlay of money
without at first an immediate return
for the investment, and few cities in
the United States can boast of a bet
ter equipped electric light and gas sys
tem than is afforded by this company.
This company has been instrumental
in bringing in commercial Institutions
from the fact that it supplies excellent
light and gives the people a good qual
ity of gas. Everybody has learned
that gas is the perfect fuel. If a housewife-
once cook with gas it is almost
impossible to get along without It, It
is so clean, so quickly handled and
gives such steady and perfect heat.
The company set up more stoves In
the last year than in any other two
years of its history. The people at
large are awakening to the fact that
gas is the cleanest, most economical
and best fuel in the world. This com
pany is growing with the city in every
respect, and, in fact, giving the public
a service that a city of three times
Lincoln's population would be proud

HENRY PFEIFF, 311 SOUTH ELEV
ENTH STREET.
One of the standard houses in the
grocery line in Lincoln is that con
ducted by Henry Pfeiff at 311 South
Eleventh street. Mr. Pfeiff is dealer
in staple and fancy groceries, and the
stock carried embraces everything to
be had in a first-class store of this
kind. The success he has achieved
in building up such a large trade Is
due to honest and fair treatment of all

part of the city and the clerks are al
ways attentive to business and - en
deavor to please all customers. Mr.
t-telff is In every way friendly to union
labor. The wage earners in this city

business twenty years.
LINCOLN PAINT & COLOR
COM
PANY.
Unlike a great many cities through
out the country Lincoln has no boom
features nor institutions which have
been built up by speculation, nor is
its growth being forced by hot-house
methods. Our trade expansion in com
merce and manufactures is being
gained along sound and substantial
lines,- and hence, while It may not be
generally known throughout the coun
try, a few cities of its size can com
pare with her in this substantial char
acter of her industrial enterprises." It
is the aim of this movement to dem
onstrate the fact more fully and forci
bly by endeavoring to place before
wage earners some intelligent and
good reasons for supporting those
within our own midst. The Lincoln
Paint & Color Co. are large employ
ers of Lincoln labor, and. the wage
earners' connection with this company
has been fraught with pleasant asso
ciations and fair pay. This large and
modernly equipped establishment has
grown Into prominence in this dis
trict. There are two reasons for the
remarkal 'e increase of this company,
the firs ' being the merits of the goods
sent ou; and the second on account of
the personality of this company and
its subordinated This company was
one of the first manufacturers in Lin
coln, and was established in a small
way, but has grown until today is one
of our leading manufacturing plants.
M. J. Waugh, president of the com
pany, has done much toward advanc
ing the interests of Lincoln. He-has
always been friendly in his relations
with labor, and is always ready to
help them when possible. This com
pany's goods can be bought at Kost
ka's Glass & Paint Co., located at 1211
O street.
BROWN'S BUSINESS COLLEGE, 1519
O STREET. ,
The Ignorant person of today is con
fronted by intelligence. His life is a
warfare of weak ignorance against hi.s
powerful opponent, education. It
means not only a life of embarrass
ment but of misery. Not only this, but
n investment in education always
pays the highest rate of interest and
declares a dividend daily, hourly. A
few years ago it was not necessao
for a young man to have a business
education. At that time a millionaire
was an unknown product, but in these
days of millionaire corporations and
complicated buisness projects, it is au
utter impossibility for the young man
to succeed until lie has acquired a
business education. It is no longer
possible for him to enter an office as
an apprentice. Business men have no
time to spend with an apprentice, but
demand a trained mind in every one
they employ. To meet this demand
the business college was created,
where the young man receives the
benefits of the training of experienced
men. In selecting a school it is to your
interest to select one conducted by
men who have had actual business ex
perience. In recommending a school
we know none better than Brown's
Business College. No school in the
west is widening it3 borders with more
positive force than Brown's Business
College.

SINGER SEWING MACHINE
1236 O STREET.
CO.,
The perfection of modern mechani
cal art has produced many machines
which are almost human in the scope
of their possibilities and have so near
ly revolutionized business methods
that those of twenty-five years ago
are looked upon as primitive and crude
indeed. In no instance is this more
true than in the case of the Singer
Sewing Machine, and while there are
many and varied makes of this house
hold necessity on the "market today,
we feel justified in saying that the
product of the Singer Sewing Machine
Co., whose output reaches over 1,500,
000 annually, leads all competitors.
The Grand Prix at the Paris Exposi
tion was awarded by the International
Jury to the Singer Sewing Machine Co.
for superior excellence and design,
construction, efliciency and for marked
development and adaptation to all
work, either in the family or the fac
tory. The only grand prize for sew
ing machines awarded at Paris was
unanimously given to the Singer Co.
At the World's Columbia Exposition in
Chicago the International Jury award
ed fifty-three distinct prizes to the
Singer product, more than all others
combined At the Pan American ex
position the highest award for sewing
machines was also granted this com
pany, which emphasizes the merits
of a Singer. The branch in this city
is located at 1236 O street, from which
Lincoln's people have direct care and
attention. Mr. J. R. Black is the gen
eral agent for the company in this
city.

aged and conducted by a gentleman of

erly drawn. This is a favorite place
