PERFECT WORK TELLS.
No reader, this is not a Ule of
egotism, or of braggadocio. It Is,
Jnet a story of improvement; a rco
ord of results. Dresner Brothers,
the Dry Cleaners and Dyers with the
$57,000 plant at 2211-2215 Fa main
St., feel Inclined to inform you that
they have made an Increase of ONE
FOURTH in their business, Jbe com
parison being made between the past
twelve months and the twelve
months that went before.
And WHY have Dresners made so
phenomenal an increase? WHY
does most of the cleaning work of
Omaha gravitate DresherwardsT
Surely there are other cleaning es
(abllshments In Omaha.
Well, the answer is easy. Omaha
folk and the folk of the states sur
rounding, get such magnificent RE
SULTS here, and so PROMPT a ser
vice at so LITTLE a price, that they
form a habit of sending the work to
Dreshers; a habit, that CANNOT be
broken.
Just now Dreshers are finishing
up the restoration of hundreds upon
hundreds of garments that were rain
soaked during the recent Ak-Sar-Ben
festivities. Were you to see
some of the results accomplished on
the more delicate garments you
would admit' that the Dresher force
ia an agregatlon of witards.
Better get oujt YOUR winter
clothes during the few nice days you
are favored with now. A little later
may be too late; It may grow so cold
that you couldn't see your way clear
to spare your overcoat, fur, heavy
stilt, or dress long enough to send It
to the cleaner.
Better do It now. Now. NOW!
Just phone Tyler 845 In the morn
ing and a polite and knowing wagon
man will call upon you at once.
Or aleve your work at Dresher
The Tailors, ISIS Farnam 8L, or at
the Dresher Receiving Station in The
Brandeis Stores. .
Bnt do it SOON. You are going
to need winter clothes Jn a RUSH
one of theae days.

ATTORNEY GENERAL
The Central Labor Unions of South Omaha and Onsha have
unqualifiedly csndsmned the proposed Workman's Compensa
tion Law, and ask every fair minded voter to vote against it
at the election November 3, 1914. ,
Here ia what tho man earning $10.00 sVTveek would got if this law is
parsed:
NOT1IIXO unless he is disabled more than fourteen days. NOTHING
for the Ions of Ids fingers, or toes, or ears or nose, except pay for one
half time that tie is actually unable to workSwith his hands. NOTHING
for pain and suffering. NOTHING for mutilation or disfigurement- No
security for the payment of anything. No trial by Jury in any case.
For the loss of nig hand only $5.00 a week' for 175 weeks, or $875.00;
for the loss of his arm above the elbow, $3.00 a week for 215 weeks, or
$1,075; for the loss of his foot or leg below the knee, $5 a week for 150
weeks, or $750; for the lossof his leg above the knee. $5 a week for 215
weeks, orl,075; for the loss of Jiis eye, $5 a week for 125 weeka, or $625.
' The law does away with every other law that has been enacted for
your safety and protection in the pant ten years.
The law provides no greater compensation for the young man who
euffers the loss of an arm or a leg than it does for an old man whose life
ifi almost ended.
No fair minded man ran read the provisions of this so-called Com
pensation Law and fail to vote against it.
Keep this ad and take it with you when you vote Novem
ber 3, 1914, and be sure to vote against the so-called Com
