A "quartet" of "live ones" will
accomplish any legitimate object;
overthrow any obstacle and (airly
amaze the business world by what
they can bring about In a few short
years.
Dresher Brothers, the Dry Clean
ers and Dyers, with the $57,0001
plant at 2211-2213 Farnam St., or
iginally conducted a tailoring estab
lishment only; in fact the tailoring
establishment still grows and thrives
under the Dresher management at
1615 Farnam St.
But there came a time when the
tailoring .business could not "hold'
the energies of the entire Dresher
quartet, so the Dry Cleaning business
wu Ukeo Into consideration. Dry
Cleaning' was chosen because it
worked in with the tailoring business
quite naturally; the experience
gained In one serves very well in the
other.
So when the "qurtet" decided
upon the cleaning business it was de
cided that the venture should be a
"world winner," a "record breaker,"
a. "big hit" as it were. Just an ordi
nary little every day sort of an es
tablishment would not satisfy the
Dresher- boys after once they had
gained the knowledge of the art.
But even with lofty ambitious, the
start in the cleaning business was
quite modest. To give an idea of the
start as contrasted with the present
operations let it be said that at first
one wagon was quite sufficient to de
liver the garments cleaned at "Dresn
ers." NOW it takes nine wagons and
three automobiles and more are com
ing. Take into consideration also

every effort to bring one of the new nix

Apperson Installed
in Quarters on Eow
The Apperson Jack Auto company,
which formerly occupied the location at
120 Farnam street, has entered its new !
quarters on the row at 2417 Farnam
street.
The new quarters are much more
spacious than the old ones and the dis
play room is well qualified for an ex
tensive exhibition of the new Apperson
that immense quantities of goods are ,,ne- 3- M' De LonT' " of the
not called for by wagon, but are left
and called for at the Dresher tailor
establishment at 1615 Farnam St.
and at the Dresher Dep't. In the
Brandels Stores.
Dreshers' entire force at the start
a dozen people; NOW the busy sea-1
son finds ONB HUNDRED operatives ccc AM TRIP A PIRQT
company, has received a shipment of the
various Apperson models.
A large shop and work room is a part
of tha new location, and Mr. De Jong la
prepared to accommodate all repair trade.
Several new service ' features will be
added now that the new location Is occu-
bee. Then, too, Dreshers have twice
extended their building since the In
ception of the business. A rough es
timate places the Dresher working
spare and office at 12,000 square
feet, and even now Dreshers are plan
ning to build upon the adjacent lot.
Quite a jump from the time when
"Al" Dresher himself occasionally
delivered cleaning work assisted by
one little "jailer" horse and a single
dinky little wagon. Isn't It?
Think of tuch a growth in a period
of time that covers but a little over
four years. Wonderful. Isn't It? Must
be that Dreshers turn out a far bet
ter class of work than the ordinary
cleaning establishment, must It not?
Dreshers were the first to really
feature an "out of town" dep't.
Dreshers are today and every day
cleaning work sent In from dosens of
burroundlng states; customers send
in work freely by parcel post or ex
press, knowing that Dresher Bros,
will pay the return charges on any
sired bundle to any point in America.
Dreshers can prove by shipping books
that their work has already been sent
to every state In the union.
It's all because Dreshers put
knowledge, hustle, vim, enterprise
snd a sincere desire to please back
of their work.
Next time you have anything to
ilean phone Tyler 345 that's Dresh
ers' private exchange number and
it reaches every enterprise in Omaha
that is managed or presided over by
the Dresher boys.
When Dreshers receive your call
they will send out a delivery wagon
or an auto at the fastest speed pos
sible without fracturing the speed
laws or Injuring a pedestrian. Your
work will be taken rare of In a hurry
and when you get the job buck you
will ssy:
"My! What fine work. No won
der those Dresher boys. built up so
huge a business in so short a time."

New Price
F. 0. B. Detroit
Your Model Car
At an Unexpected Price
The HUDSON Six-40 for 1915 brings out 32 sur
prises. There are 31 new features each an important
refinement. And there is a new price $200 less than
last year due to a trebled output.
This new-type Six came out last year to mark the
HUDSON conception of the coming car. The HUD
SON Engineers headed by Howard E. Coffinhad
devoted three years to tho model.
By clever designing and btrlter materials they at
tained a remarkable lightness. By a now-type motor
they reduced operative cost about 30 per cent under
former cars of like capacity.
It was the handsomest car of the year.
It offered many new ideas in equipment.
And the price $1 ,7.r0 was the lowest price
quoted on a quality car, either Fours or Sixes. That
car was so welcome that the enormous factory output
was 3,000 cars oversold.
31 Refinements
Now these same engineers iS of them have
spent a whole year on refinements. The new model
for 1915 with 31 important improvements.
The output has been trebled. And the quantity
saving $200 per car has been taken from tho price.
Now this quality Six the finest HUDSON pro
duction sells for $1,550 f. o. b. Detroit.
This new HUDSON Six-40 will meet your ideals of
a car. There was never built at any price a morn ex
quisite Six. It will place any four-cylinder car out of
the question at a price above $1,200.
This new model is here now. Don't buy until you
see it.
