In this business is that every man who knows us, and reads our ads. shall get the idea
that this is the shop for quality in tailoring. We'd a good deal rather be known as
the right place for good stuff, than merely as a place where you get low prices.
TIME ARE NO BETTER FAMES WOVEN THAN WE SHOW
In our Spring and Summer stock for 1908 and the patterns are the very newest. If we bought our
woolens the way the small tailor does, we would be compelled to charge his prices but buying in such immense quantities, (taking occassknaQy the complete output of a factory)
and cutting out all the middleman's profit and many others we get our goods fully a quarter cheaper. It stands to reason you can buy potatoes cheaper in carload lots than you
can buy the single peck. We threw off the shackles of little ways and doubtful methods from the start and pioneered the path to the broader and more liberal field of merchandis
ing, which is now our most valued asset.

of all anion made brands of goods in
Lincoln, together with the names of
the dealers band litis them. This list
will be published in convenient pam
phlet form and in The Wage worker,
and will be changed monthly wader
the supervision of the label committee
and Secretary Kates.
The complaint that union men can
not find anion male goods continues
to be made, and it will continue to be
made until the demand for union made
goods becomes so insistent that the
merchants will realize the necessity of
handling them. Under the new plan

it is hoped that this demand win be
stimulated. The label committee is
expected to be read? with its report
next meeting night.
The report of the "union label ex
hibition' committee was to the effect
that all arrangements had been made
for Wednesday evening, ilay SO, at the
Auditorium. The committee in charge
of arrangements for the proper obser
rance of "Labor Sunday" reported that
the serrices would be held at St.
Mark's Reformed church. Rev. P. M.
Orr pastor. Full details of these two
affairs will be found elsewhere.
The Carpenters Union was the first
one to "come through with its per
capita for the label exhibition. It
was decided to handle the financial
end of this matter through the regu
lar channels. The Electrical Workers
Barbers and Plumbers reported that
their unions had agreed to stand their
per capita, and a little more, if neces
sary. Report was made that the Journey
men Blacksmiths and Journeymen
Horseshoers were taking steps to re
organise.
The matter of taking a part in the
coming campaign, not as partisans.
bat as union men, with a view to :
caring representation on the legisla
tive ticket, was discussed at some
length, bat no action was taken.
The attendance was not large, but
all present took a deep interest in
the proceedings. Ed English of the
Plumbers and L. E. Clifford of "the
Electrical Workers were obligated as
delegates. Following was the attend
ance: Leatherworkers, one; Plumb
ers two; Carpenters, two; Bartenders,
one; Barbers, one; Cigarniakers.

less than fifteen per cent of the cigars
consumed in Lincoln are made in Lin
coln, and this, too, despite the fact
that Lincoln made cigars are equal to
any on the market. The five cent
brands 'are far and away ahead of
the trust made five cent brands, bat
the demand for the Lincoln made
goods is an almost negligible quanti
ty outside of the bars, where union
goods are poshed as far as possible.
ir ten per cent is the size of the local
demand for Lincoln made cigars, it
stands to reason that if half the cigars
smoked in Lincoln were made in Lin
coln would be one hundred or more
cigarmakers at work in Lincoln.

THE CIGARMAKERS.
Local Work Dull and Many Men Are
Forced Into Idleness.
Every cigar made in Lincoln Is made
under union conditions, but owing , to
the failure of union men to demand
union made cigars, and of a tot of
"home industry advocates to demand
Lincoln made cigars, the local cigar
manufacturers report work dull. As a
consequence a number of cigarmakers
are idle, and duly about twenty are
working. There ought to be not less
than one hundred cigar makers regu
larly employed in Lincoln and there
would be if union men and "home in
dustry" advocates would practice what
they preach. . It is safe to say - that
