CLEVELAND. O. , May 9. ( Special Tel
gram. ) Hon. Harry C. Mason , speaker
the Ohio general assembly nnd one of t
Ohio commissioners to the Omaha expos
tlon , returned today from a trip of Inspe
tlon to Omaha. Mr. Mason gave a flatterli
statement of the magnitude of the big she
and while expressing regret that so little h
been done by Ohio and by this city to co
tribute to Its success said he Intended
stir up the business men of Cleveland
greater activity.
"Up to date , " said the speaker , "the
are only sixty-two Ohio exhibitors , ai
eighteen of these are from Cleveland. T
bicycle Industry Is well represented , b
outsldo of the American Wire Nail cot
pany and the Cleveland Twist Drill compai
there are few large firms of Cleveland re
resented. It ought not to be BO , for t
Omaha exposition will be second only
the World's fair and will be a great ca
for manufacturers to help to broaden th <
business. Louisiana Is putting up a $2,5
building In one part ot the cxpoaltl
grounds and the state of New York h
one for $2,500. Wo only made a $3,000 a
proprlatlon and my idea Is that the mon
will be spent In providing accomtnodatli
at the show for people from Ohio who vli
the exposition. A space will bo reserv
where they can check garment * and stop
meet friends. There U hardly enou ]
money to put up much of a building. "
Speaker Mason Bald that the Ohio cot
mlsiloners were practically the guests
the exposition during their stay and th
be showed them many courtesies.

truth
It IB one of the wonders of tlio commercial world
why wo are willing to sell such good underwear for
25 cents. It is good. It is the same grade that the
loud mouth stores would try to have you believe is
so very cheap at 89 cents. It is natural color balbriggan - 4
briggan , cut full sized and full fashioned , and the
shirts are made with the close fitting French yoke.
The drawers have linen reinforced bands. These gar- '
inents will wash and wear , and are honest all the
way through. For 35 cents wo sell an excellent grade
of balbriggan in four different lines. The shirts in
these lines are full finished and are faced with gros -
grain silk. The waistbands are patent cut. At 45c
we sell a splendid 3-thread balbriggan , full finished
equal to ordinary 85 cent garments in some stores.
We have them in four different colors and in many
handsome shades. The truth about our underwear
business is that we sell it for less than some stores
can own it and that nowhere can you find under
wear values that will come up to ours. Putting a
statement like that in print is easy , but it is just as
easy to prove it. Come around and see the proofs.

THE BEST PAINT
. . . ON EARTH -r
Is the Sherwin-Williams paint , said Mr."H.
C. Bettermnn of this city ( himself nn old-
time druggist ) . "I sold It for many ycnrs
before coming to Omaha , " said Mr. Bct-
tcrman , * ; and I know it's as good yes , bet-
ter-than the beat white lend nnd oil. It
wears longer und looks better and then it's
BO easy to spread that nnyono who uses It
once won't bo talked Into trying anything
else. "
Mr. Bettermnn's opinion of this paint la
exactly that of everyone who has ever used
the SHERWIN-WILLIAMS PAINT.
It certainly Is the best "on enrth , " and
wo refer you to those who have usud it for
evidence of this statement.
