Our Work is Our E Existence

Therefore it stands uz in hand
to be extremely careful in what
manner we do our work. A thor
ough knowledge of the manner in
which Laundry Work ought to be
done is first of all absolutely nee
cessary. This we have acquired
by practical study and years of
experience in the laundry business
That we do the work right is evil
dent by the fact that our business
is steadily increasing. Having
lately again largely increased our
capacity we wish to say to all
those who have not yet tried our
laundry to do so at their earliest

A Tariff War Proposed.

Berlin, jan THE Berlin papers
reprint an alleged interview granted
BY Prince Herbert Bismarck to 9 re
preventative af II Corriers della Sera,
of Milan, in which the prince is re
presented as asserting that the great
German industrial organization, with
the approval of Emperor William and
Count Won Buelow. imperial cbaucel.
!or, have compromised with the agra
rians and will meet the United States
with sharp protective policy. Sixty
marks per ton on grain is mentioned
as an illustration.
Some of the papers cast doubt upon
the authenticy Of the interview, but
the Berliner Tageblatte sees in it q
FRESH confirmation of the recent state
ments of Count Won Klinckowstroem,
the agrarian leader. The Tageblatte
severely depricates tariff war with
the United States, the cost of which,
it contends, will be borne by German
trade. Germany's fourishing shipping
and German consumers generally.
