MAKE IT EASY
FOR THE PUBLIC
Dresber Brother, Cleaners ft Dyers,
Always Have In View the Con
venience of the Public.
The Eternal Question Here Is: "Will
It Save Time and Money For and
Please the Public More?"
Of course, you've heard what the
late Commodore Vanderbilt Baid
about the public, haven't you? When
managing his immense railroad inter
ests a decade or so ago, he said : "The
Public Be D "
Contrast that with the regard
shown for the public by Dreaher
Brothers, the Cleaners and Uyers at
2211-22.17 Farnam St, Omaha.
Dresners will eo to any expense and
put forth any effort if only it will
make matters easy for those who
have produced patronage and suc
cess for this plant
Dresners were the first to pay ex
press or parcel post charges one way
on any sized bundle shipped to any
distance; Dreshers were the first to
deliver Suits, Dresses and the like
hung on hangers in heavy water and
germ and dust proof bags; Dreshers
were the first to establish a sort pf
"clothes insurance" on goods in their
possession ; Dreshers were the first to
establish down town branches where
they were most needed ; at the Bran
deis and Burgess-Nash Stores; as
well as at Dresher, The Tailors' es
tablishment, 1515 Farnam St. Dresh
ers have even lately erected an of
fice on Harney St., in the rear of
their plant, just so that those who
travel Harney street need not cross
over to Farnam street with their
jobs of cleaning.
Dreshers delivery torce oi nine
automobiles is already so well known
as to need no comment; Dreshers
would put on a half dozen more autoa
if the public would deem it a con
venience. Courtesy is the rule at this
establishment and woe indeed to the
employe who talks sharp tp a
Dresher patron, '
It's service that counts these days,
and Dreshers certainly give the ser
vice. The big, pulsating Dresher plant
at 2211-2217 Farnam St. houses one
hundred employes success is in the
very air the largest cleaning estab
lishment in the United States is here
in the making, and it's the regard
for natrons that has brought it about
Visit the big Dresher plant and
note the welcome you will receive.
Phone Tyler 345 for a Dresher man
and note how eager he will be to
please.
Use the phone early and late
often as you please the number is
Tyler 345, and it connects with every
Dresher enterprise. Advertisement.
REAL ESTATE MEN
TAMJIG THINGS
Union Depot Situation Some
thing of a Puzzler, But Some
Hope Is Being; Held Out.
NEW HOME FOR THE ELKS
With the Elks talking of a new
lodge 'home, with the talk of the
Union Pacific securing a $1,000,000
option on a strip of ground west of
the Sixteenth street viaduct and the
possibility that the company may be
considering the erection of a depot
there, and with the campaign well
under way for the raising of $250,000
for the erection of a new Browncll
Hall, last week brought forth another
handsome program of building pros
pects and possibilities.
Omaha has now got so in the habit
of hearing of new building projects
running into the hundreds of thou
sands of dollars that little surprise
is expressed at these announcements.
Time was when the announcement
of a $50,000 building possibility would
make all sit up and ask questions.
Then came the day of the $100,000
building projects, and then the" $250,
000, and now a man who proposes to
build a building must almost talk in
terms of at least half millions to get
any attention.
This a Puzzler.
The depot question has been a puz
zler. Much has been said about im
proving the present depots by tunnel
ing a passageway between them, of
by running a viaduct over the tracks
between the two tsations. This Is
laughed at by those who are fighting
for a new depot and is ridiculed as a
proposition for a compromise that
would mean no depot for another
decade or twd. .
Omaha real estate men, notably D.
C. Patterson, have offered to build a
Union station to order and lease it to
the railroads, but the roads made no
reply.
Once there was a mysterious whis
per that the roads were negotiating
for a tract of ground on the east side
of Twenty-fourth street south of
Poppleton avenue, largely vacant,
with the exception of the Smith
brick plant. Many thought they saw
in this prospects for an immediate
Union station. Some thought this
was surely the ideal location, with
all the talk of a growing and spread
ing Omaha that would soon have
Twenty-fourth street for its main
thoroughfare.
Then, too, at that rime there was
much said about the demand the im
provement clubs of that section made
upon the city council for the ousting
from the neighborhood of the Smith

brick concern as a nuisance. It was
thought that as the Smith plant would
move the railroads would take posses
sion. However, the Smith concern is
still operating and still stoutly resist
ing the attempts of the improvers to
move them. i
Now comes the hint that the Union
Pacific has an option on the tract west
of the Sixteenth street viaduct, and
the Union Pacific will go no further
toward confirming this thag the other
roads did in confirming the report
that they were considering 1 wenty
fourth street and Poppleton avenue.
The Browncll Hall proposition is
not so vague. It is a real go, and the
seventeen hustling teams have already
pulled in subscriptions for a large part
of the $250,000 they hope to raise in
ten davs for the new structure in r air-
acres, where a campus of eleven acres
has been donated for the site.
Whether the Elks will build a new
club house or not will depend upon
how larsre a percentage of the mem
bership will favor the proposition if
it comes up definitely in the spring.
The movement is not yet formally
started, but there is an element in the
club that is strictly in favor of launch
ing such a movement in the spring.

Up for Discussion
"What kind of service docs the jani

"What kind of service does the

Omaha Building Owners and Man
agers' association is to discuss next
Tuesday noon at the meeting to be
held in the Commercial club rooms.

Paris, Oct. 5. There are up to date
thirteen avowed candidates for the
seven vacant seats in the French
Academy that are to he filled after

Leon Bourgeois, minister of state
and former premier, who failed of
election in 1814 in competition against
Alfred Campus, the new director of
the Figaro, has not announced his
candidacy, but is likely to be urged
to do so bv his friends. If so, it will
be his third campaign for a seat
among the "immortals." The only
other "cabinet" possibility is Aristide
