splendid and efficient service that ii
now gives in mandatory, store, office
and homes in every part of the city.
For convenience and cleanliness the
electric light rivals all other illum-
inants. Al electric lighted store is
most alluring and attractive, and the
greatest danger of disastrous con-
f1agration is eliminated. An electric
sign i'll front of your place of business
is always busy burning your name ana
business into the minds of the pass
ing hundreds. The electric light
makes your home bright, pleasant
and healthful, and is a safeguard
against fire and burglars 1t is also
useful and economical in a hundred
other ways. What you will save in
redecorating and painting your home
every year will largely pay for your
light bill The Lincoln Gas and Elec-
trio Light company is public bene-
factor in every sense of the word and
mas done more to advance and better
the condition of our city than any
other single interest of a quasi-public
nature. 1t has been boon alike to
those of means and to the great
masses of people who toll for subsist-
ence. for to them the lighting and
heating problem is one of vital i'm
portance, and each year sees them
adopting electricity in their homes as
matter of economy. The gentlemen
at the head of the Lincoln Gas and
Electric Light company are men who
have spent their years in the work
of development of the light, heat and
power service of our city, and to them
IS q great share Of the advancement
OF our city due. Few cities, if any, in
the country have gas of so good a
quality supplied as we have here and
this we owe to the careful efforts of
the above company. This company
has spent many thousands of dollars
IN the extension of pipe lines, ETC.,
and have been a foremost factor in,
supplying comfort and economical
heat to thousands of our property
holders. 1t is the aim of this com
pany to keep fully abreast of the
times and give the best service it is
possible to give at all times. They
have always shown their friendliness
toward our cause at all times, and our
members are numbered by the thou
sands that patronize this company
The Wageworker takes pleasure in
giving the Lincoln Gas and Electric
Light company prominent mention in
this our annual trade review edition

DEPUTY SPANGLER HAT CO.
(Un ion-Made Gloves.)

Lincoln possesses no more reSpOn-
sible and straightforward concern than
that of the Deputy Spangler Hat Co.,
whose establishment is located at 227-
229 North Ninth street. The firm have
established a high reputation in this
section of the country, based upon an
unusually active and successive bust
ness of several years standing. They
not only do business in Lincoln, but
their goods may be found throughout
the entire west. They handle most
complete line of Union-Made hats,
caps, etc. A special feature of this con-
Germ that we wish to particularly call
the attention to of every citizen of
Lincoln, and especially the union
men, is the fact that they operate in
connection with their hat business a
leather glove manufacturing establish
ment that is fast gaining an enviable
reputation, for high class work
gloves. This company manufacture
and place on the market the famous
Hardy work glove. In our last An
nual Review we told our readers that
this concern was willing that their
employees form an organization, and
during the last year the organization
has been effected. and their shop is
now unionized and the Glove Workers
label is being used. This is the only
Union glove factory in the state of
Nebraska, and the Union men of Lin
coin and throughout the entire state
should insist that their dealer furnish
them with the Union-Made Hardy
Glove. One of the fundamental prin-
ciples of organized labor is to patron
ize their friends, and our members
that have occasion to buy work gloves
should remember this. This glove not
only bears the Union Label, but is
without doubt, one of the best articles
in it's line that is being placed on the
| market. Mr.. Union Man, let the word
Hardy" be wildly impressed upon
your mind, and when purchasing the
next pair of work gloves call for this
brand, and by so doing help boost a
Lincoln concern that has on various
occasions shown their friendliness to-
| ward the man who tolls for a daily
wage.

LINCOLN GAS AND ELECTRIC
LIGHT COMPANY.

The lighting and fuel supply has
been one of the greatest problems that
modern cities nave had to solve and
the result of the last quarter of a
century's experience has seen great
strides of development in gas and
electricity The Lincoln Gas and Elec-
trio Light Co., whose offices are To-
Gated at 1923 0 street. has solved
the lighting and power question of
Lincoln for many years to come. This
with its most modern system
of power generation, can supply this
city for many years with the best
light, heat and power taht modern
has yet devised. Its capa-
bility in this line is shown by the

LINCOLN PAINT AND COLOR CO.

Lincoln like many other western
cities, has kept pace in every ill.,
stance with the great developments
and commercial advancement that has
characterized the west during the past
decade. In many instances she has
even outrun those who were formerly
leaders. Her business men are among
the most enterprising, progressive and
able in this country and in almost
every line of trade Lincoln's bust
ness may point with pride to estab-
lishments that are second to none.
In this review we wish to mention,
especially, an establishment that has,
through the excellence of it's products.
and conditions of its management.
done as much as any one concern and
more than mos! for the domestic
good of this citY and has been very
instrumental in spreading the name
and fame of Lincoln throughout the
entire United States. This firm is
the Lincoln Paint and Color Co. which,
besides being one of the largest manu-
featuring concerns in Lincoln, has
the distinction OF being the largest
paint factory west of the Mississippi.
The importance of this concern and
the amount of business done by them
is little realized by the majority Of
Lincolns citizens. They have branches
in almost every state in the west, but
the main manufacturing plant and Che
honre offices OF this company are
situated in Lincoln.
Lincoln feels certain sense of
pride in this company as being one
of her largest business enterprises
which, by reason of its fairness of
L.,
of it's products, is rapidly growing to
be one of the foremost factories of
| it's kind in the United States. On
many occasions the management of
this company has manifested a most
| friendly interest in the cause and is
| entitled to the hearty cooperation and
support of the great masses that toll
for daily wage. This firm believes in
good organization, when properly con-
Quoted and in compiling this list of
Lincolns most substantial business
concerns we wish to give this COM
pany prominent mention and insist
that our readers. when making pur-
chases of anything in this line, de-
mand that it be the output of their
home manufacturers. The Lincoln
Paint and Color company have one
feature for the benefit of their en-
ployes, which is absolutely unique
This is a relief association, governed
entirely by the employees and financed

This association was started three
years ago. Largely as AN experiment;
however, the original plan of this re-
lief association has proven to be most
excellent, as very few changes were
necessary. This association mas paid
out, in sick benefits, to it's members
since it's organization, over five hun
dred dollars and in many other cases
has offered assistance to it's members,
which could not have otherwise been
obtained This is. to our knowledge,
the only organization of this kind ex-
