1914 MUST Prove a
"Step Lively" Year for
THIS Establishment......
We OUGHT to be satisfied but we are
NOT! This $57,000 plant and THIS
force is the LARGEST west of Chicago;
our work is famous not only throughout
Omaha, but in all the states surrounding;
yet, we must do STILL better cleaning
and make STILL greater strides during
1914. Our thanks to those who have made
all this possible. Favor us and we will sit
up nights trying to please you. Same in
stant service as usual if you'll call

A New Year Dawns!
For us the year 1913 was a record
breaker. There are two reasons for this
tremendous growth of business.
FirstThe housewife has awakened
to the fact that it is easier, cheaper and
generally better home economy to send
the family washing to a reliable laundry.
Second Our faultless "FAMILY
WASH SERVICE" at 6c per pound, all
flat pieces ironed, together with our per
fect system for laundering collars and
shirts have won on their merits.

Exposition City
Rising by Leaps
at the Golden Gate
At no time since the beginning of ac
tual physical work upon it. In March,
1912, has tho slto of the Panama-Pacific
International exposition presented such a
scene of activity as at present. The
great exhibit palaces now rapidly rising
and tho numerous lesser structures of
many kinds combine to. form an exposi
tion city of striking effect, In the pro
cess of making. Each day reveals pin
Kress In its evolution that Is little short
of amuzlng, when the vast scopo of the
undertaking Is considered.
In tho center of tho slto paralleling San
Francisco harbor for more than ono mllo
Is to be seen a vast net work of timber,
the huso frames of the central group of
exhibit palaces. A good sized army would
seem lost beneath the hugo beams,
girders and trusses. Thousands of men
employed by different contractors, each
of whom Is striving for a record, la nt
work. As the frames are added to, each
day records a visible change In tho ex
hibit palaces.
Curious visitors, who nowadays nro ar
riving in great numbers, leave with tho
deeply settled conviction that President
C. C. Mooro'a promise that the exposi
tion palaces will bo ready for occupancy
several months before tho opening of tho
celebration on February 20. 1915, will be
fulfilled to the letter.
ICxpoeltlon Notes.
Construction Is proceeding with prodi
gious rapidity. All of the eleven main
exhibit palaces are under construction.
Flowers are now blooming In the gar-
. 1 i.ivutMA.iua u, min
ers are bflng nurtured and tended in the
beds.
Thirty-one foreign nations have an
nounced their Intention to officially par
ticipate in the exposition and thirty-five
states liavo selected sites for state
pavilions.
It has been estimated that tSO.OOO.OOO
will be expended at the Panama-Paclflo
International exposition exclusive of the
vast wealth represented In the exhibits of
tlio world.
Work Is progressing on tho five great
Interior courts of the main group of ex
hibit palaces. The fire-proof walls of
the courts are being built rapidly, ' the
walls of the, court of the four seasons
being practically completed.
The freight ferry slip is now in dally
use. receiving car floats bearing cars,
which are conveyed by tho exposition en
glncn over tho terminal rallroud track,
the main line of which, and many of tho
branches have been completed.
The transplanting of trees and shrubs
J. 11 TRASIv.
Cnlder, the plaster models mado by many
of America greatest sculptors nro being
enlarged to heroic proportions, finished In
Imitation Traventtno mart)lo and prepared
for Installation upon their pedestals.
Thousands of applications for exhibit
space have beon received from all parts
of tho world assuring exhibits of tho
lilKlioHt selectlvo character many of the
exhibits will iuubo In value from JKO.MW
to $350,0u0. These applications coming
from all parts of tho globe are an earnest
of unprecedented displays in tho arts,
sciences nnd Industries. Commissions ap
pointed by the president of tho United
States are meeting with enthusiastic in
ceptions abroad and nro tho recipients of
signal honors.
In appreciation ot the enormous In
trinsic value of tho exhibits that will be
discovered In the palace of fine arts, that
structure will be rendered as safe as It
Is possible for the skill of man to make
It. The palaco will be built as though It
wore Intended to stand for ages. It will
be a "Class A," fireproof structuro of
concrete and steel. Tho only wood em
ployed In tho building will bo In the
floors whero tho hardwood Is to bo laid
"slap" In the cement. Located about 400
feet to tho west of tho contral group of
eight main exhibit palaces, Uic palace of
fine arts will rear Its picturesque pile. It
will bo 1,100 feet long, describing a grace
ful arc which will enclose a rotunda of
Kieut architectural symmetry and will Ik)
fronted by thu still waters of an arti
ficial lake backed by trees. For Its cen
tral motif the palace of fine, arts will
have a low dome, rising from a unique
base. Stretching In a majestic curve to
the north and south will be tho colon
nade, the terminations of which will b
the main entrances to the building. Th
domed and circular rotunda will bo en
closed in the arms of this colonnade and
thus will bo the dominant note In the
composition. The architecture Is early
Roman with a harmoiitxlug strain of
Pompelau uud Italian forms tho latter j
occurring mainiy in tue gamen ueiuus.
A quiet of artlstocratlo ease will be so
cured through tho combined efforts of
architect and landscape gardener. In
cost tho palaco ot fine arts will stand
nbout 3000,000 or more than the cost of
any other exhibit structuro on the 626
acres of exposition territory, with tho
possible exception of tho palace ot ma
chinery, tho huge bulk of which has
brought its coHt to a figure a trlflo be
yond that ot tho palace ot fine arts.
