We can install the Vacuum .Pipeless Furnaces in
either new or old Houses, without cutting the walls or
weakening the construction.
Only one large radiator required for both hot
and cold air; no pipes.
All heat goes to the rooms; no heat wasted in
basement or between the walls, as in the case of a
pipe furnace.
The Vacuum burns any kind of coal, coke or wood.
The first cost is much less than a pipe system.
Send us a rough plan of your house, or, better yet,
let one of our men come and see your problem, then
we can tell you if it can be heated satisfactorily by
the Vacuum principle.

STRAW HATS
STREAMING ifl
Dretlier Already Putting- 1918 "Gin
ger" Into Thousands of Straw
Hats That Did Valiant
Duty Last Year.
Hats Come Out Like New Again, So
Why Isn't It the Safe, Sane and
Certainly Economical Way
To Do?
Here they come! Bunches. Bush
els. Barrels. Packages of them. Last
year's Straw Hats both Men's and
Women's. Somehow or other the pop
ulace has learned that the experienced
Hatters at the immense Dry Cleaning
and Dyeing .Plant of Dresner Broth
ers at 2211-2217 Farnam St., Omaha,
can make a new hat out of an old one,
and folk are not going to fritter
money away on new ones if old ones
can be made as good aB new.
Take your Pajpama hats, for in
stance Dreshe'rs clean 'em, reblock
'em and finish up by reshaping, re
trimming and relining 'em. It's far
cheaper to do this than to buy a new
Panama try it and see.
And what applies to Panamas ap
plies to all other hats sent to Dresn
ers. No job too hard to handle. No
job too large or too small. Just send
'em along. There's a big and able
force of real hatters here ready to do
the work. If you doubt their abilities
just stand around and watch them
make a new hat from start to finish.
Dreshers Shoe Repairing Depart
ment, too, is rapidly becoming better
known. Hundreds of pairs of shoes
are sent here weekly and when the
owners again get them they agree
that Dreshers are also "some shoe
makers." An expert from one of the
largest concerns in Chicago is in
charge of trie Shoe Repairing here
and he is'backed by all the necessary
equipment Dreshers money could buy.
Better send in your Hats and Shoes
at once. Phone Tyler 345 for a Dresh
er man or leave work at the plant, at
Dresher The Tailors, 1515 Farnam
St, or at one of the Dresher branch
es in the Burgess-Nash or Brandeis I
Stores. Dreshers pay express or
parcel post one way on all out-of-town
shipments. Adv.
