NEW INDUSTRY FOR OMAHA
Springer Paper Bag Factory is Moved
to Douglas street from
Beatrice,

The Springer Paper Bag mandatory is
the name Of a new manufacturing estab-
lishment just located in Omaha at 1212
Douglas street and which promises TO de-
velop into a larger institution
The establishment is owned by Paul
Springer. formerly OF Beatrice, where he
had for a number of years conducted a
printing and binding business and only re-
Gently started into the manufacture of
paper bags 1t soon became evident to Mr..
Springer that the shipping and freight
facilities at Beatrice were not adequate to
his needs and the business began to grow
so rapidly that he determined to come to
Omaha.
He is now installing his four paper bag
making machines at his location on Doug
las street and the requisite power to run
them. The machines will make fifteen sizes
Of paper bags. The capacity OF the re-
spective machines is $50, 200. 175 and 125
paper bags per minute. The bags are
adapted to all kinds of commercial uses.
and as the business increases and warrants
It is Mr.. Springer's Intention to add a
paper and cardboard package department
to the establishment
He expects to set the concern in oper-
alton in about ten days and will give en-
ployment to ten or dozen persons. Mr..
Springer already has moved his family to
Omaha and will become one of the city's
permanent residents.

WILL CLEAN ANYTHING.
Twentieth Century soap is Won
der.

Twentieth Century Soap is a Won
At last a soap has been manufactured
which will satisfactorily answer every
need of the dainty woman. and also tighten
the work of the laundress, janitor and
scrub woman. The Twentieth Century
Soap, which Is being introduced. is guar
anteed by its manufacturers TO do almost
miraculous deeds in the way OF cleansing
without being injurious. One woman re-
Gently said she cleaned an ostrich feather
with II, although It would seem a reckless
thing to think of using soap and water on
anything so delicate. but she insists 1t was
not injured and became perfectly clean.
1t is asserted that dainty laces, fine sheer
fabrics, stocks and lace collars and wash
silks are speedily and marvelously cleaned
with the new soap. which seems to have no
limit of usefulness since the most highly
polished furniture carpets. rugs, marble,
mirrors, woodwork bath tubs. gas ranges,
kitchen utensils and clothing Of all kinds
are restored through the agency of this
soap to a pristine spick and spanness.
The soap is something of a wonder, and
is introduced on the market in an unusual
form. 1t is rather soft and is sold for
housekeepers' use in pound cans. 1t ia
made strictly OF vegetable oils containing
no animal fat or lye. Its efficiency in the
finest as well as the toughest kind of
work will give II a universal popularity.
The washerwoman and maid of all work
will after a trial not only acknowledge
its merits, but have a partiality for It,
because It renders the hands soft and
white, and has no injurious effect on them.
1t is amazing to think It will form an ex-
cellent shaving or shampoo soap, and is
at the same time an excellent cleanser for
big depots. where heroic measures are nee
essary to remove CRIME and SCOT.
The Hoffheimer Soap company OF Chi
caeo. which manufactures the SOAP has
issued monthly magazine called the
Twentieth Century World" which Is es-
pecially devoted to housekeepers' inter-
ests and may be obtained by anyone who
| uses the soap.
The soap has not yet been put on the
market in dainty form for toilet uses
but in spite of its plain appearance in a
can it will win its way to the favor OF
the housekeeper and lady of leisure.
