THE BANK HABIT
"I have been a wageearner,

a thousand men on my pay roll

The man with the "Bank Habit"

he's the one who can get along
without you, but you cannot get
along without him."

BOSTON LABOR LEADER DEAD.
Jermemiah Harrington, president of
Boston Bricklayers' Union, and one of
the best known union leaders in the
country, died last week of pneumonia.

the big Bricklayers and Masons' con
vention, which closed Sunday. Har
rington has been an international vice-
president . of . his. union.. He was

We have Greatly Enlarged our Sew
ing Machine department, having placed in
charge a sewing machine demonstrator and
instructor from factory, who will be pleased
to explain the merits of the Standard.
Standard Machines are "standard" in
every sense. Made of the best materials,
with the latest improvements in both the
vibrator and rotary styles, the latter making
both the lock and chain stitch. , r
Among the points of advantage with the
Standards are ease of operation, speed
of sewing, durability, adaptability to
light or heavy sewing, attractive ap
pearance, and dependability..
Supplies and Repairs We are. now in
position to do satisfactory repair work and
furnish supplies for all makes of machines
at moderate rates. ' , .
rp Cirt4itH Dnfarv THE SHUTTLE never stops when stitching as do the vibrator
1 lie 5lclrlClirCl IVUl machines, but keeps ever onward, each, stitch helping to make
the noxt. THE NEEDLE BAB has only two motions, whereas " other machines have " four, thus, no heavy
balance wheel is needed to carry it by the stops and starts. This is why the Standard Rotary is so much easier
to run; sews so much faster and is almost noiseless; has the most improved attachments; makes both the lock
and chain stitch ou the same machine. We will be glad to demonstrate these claims to you in the basement.
THE NORTH DIRECTORY.
There are many reasons why the
North City Directory should be pat
ronized by every citizen of Lancaster
county who needs a directory. One
reason is that it is wholly a home
product All the work is done in Lin
coln, and Lincoln wage earners do it.
The. men, who publish it are, Lincoln
business men whose every interest-is
in Lancaster county. Apart from this
it is the most complete directory ever
issued for the community. In addi
tion to containing the names of all
males over 21 years of age, it will
contain the names of all Lancaster
county taxpayers, a complete direc
tory of Havelock, University Place,
College View, and Bethany, and the
"thumb indexed," and contain miany
other valuable and handy features.
The North Directory has given sat
isfaction in the past and there is every
reason why it should be patronized
to the exclusion of outside. directories.
The money spent for or invested in
the North Directory is kept in Lin- ,
coin. - :',:y a
