WESTERN GLASS AND PAINT CO.

Those enterprises that are most
closely allied with the building trades
are the ones that have most benefited
the city in it's growth and develop
ment A house that is well known
to contractors and builders and one
that is in a condition to handle all
orders promptly is that of the West
ern Glass and Paint company, whose
Offices and store rooms are located at
3O1-317 South Twelfth street. They
handle the products of the best manu-
facturers in all kinds of paints, oils
and glass, aneG quote the lowest
prices and make contracts to supply
any orders given them. This concern
does both wholesale and retail bust

small number of people. 1t is the
plain duty of every good citizen to
give the home concerns the prefer

will be helping to make Lincoln big
ger, broader and better. They are
very progressive and are always after
the latest as well as the best. One
of their last acquisitions is KEYSTONE

JOHN MISSIONER, FOUNDRY.

One of our most prominent home
industries which deserves the hearty
support and cooperation of all the
citizens of Lincoln and the public in
general is the establishment of John
MISSIONER, manufacturer of construct
ural steel. and located at 900 N street.
In this our home patronage edition,
we can not urge too strongly upon
the people of this vicinity, to patron
ize home industries exclusively. In
doing this you are giving more en-
ployment to home workmen, who
spend their money here, thus aiding
greatly in the prosperity of our city 8.
This concern has done much to adver-
tise the name and fame of Lincoln,
and Mr.. MISSIONER is gentleman of
the highest standing and deeply inter-
ested in seeing the city grow He has
every facility for handling the large
business that is constantly increasing.
and We would give him prominent
mention, and place his concern fore
most in the ranks of Lincoln's most
reliable manufacturing institutions.

scHAuPP COAL COMPANY. >

The item of fuel alone is one of the
most important considerations in COLI
Quoting any manufacturing plant Of
considerable size. And every house
holder knows the Importance of re-
liable source of supply and the adj
vantage Of being able to purchase coal
at reasonable price. In such matters
Lincoln has advantages which are SUI
perior to many larger cities. And
among the number of large dealers in
this line none are more worthy of
particular mention than the Schaupp
Coal Co. The superior qualities of
coal this company carries is too well
known for further comment here
The members OF this firm are we'll
known to our citizens as broad-minded
enterprising and progressive business
men, and are respected in commercial
circles. The firm is always foremost
in aiding any movement for the adj
vancement of Lincoln, and The Wage
worker takes pleasure in giving them
prominent mention in this our Annual
Trade Review Edition. great many
of our members are patrons of this
firm, and that they have always been
dealt fairly with is evidenced by the
growing popularity and business of
the firm.

ing enormously. AS cleansing and
polishing agent it has no equal. The
greatest deposit of silica is owned by
Homer Earl, and it is in such a posi-

gained company and is preparing to

FISKE & DiEMAN.

In a review of the business inter-
ests of Lincoln there is not work
that is so easy to exploit as the archi-
tectual establishment of Fiske &
Dieman. When it is said that Ffske
& Dieman have designed a large share
of the greatest buildings in Lincoln,
high compliment Is paid to their
ability and talerts. 1t is common
remark that they are numbered
among the few architects of the west
who are competent to carry out large
undertakings. To list some of the
great works they have directed
would be to name some of the great

in Lincoln and the west. Incidentally,
we would mention two prominent
buildings that has been erected under
their supervision. that of the Little

monuments to their ability. and We
might mention many others that would

tlemen are men of large capacity and
able to grasp these big undertakings,
and 1t Is but natural that they have
captured a large share of the import
ant work in this section of the cOun-
try. This firm has always shown a
friendliness toward our cause. and
we take pleasure in giving them
prominent mention.

LINCOLN BED SPRINGS CO.

The various industries of our city
are of the most commanding attention

putting on the market the best grades
of bed-springs at the prices. The

kinds of bed-springs, and employs only
the best workmen in making them

pleased in this review to make ref

our readers to buy their product, as
they are handled by the most prom
inent dealers in this city and in the
state. We wish to impress upon the
minds of our readers the advisability
of always patronizing home concerns.
This is home concern and should not
only receive the support of the work
ing man but of all other good citizens
who are DESTROYS of seeing Lincoln
become city twice the size that Il

Germs the proper support we will be
helping to accomplish these facts.

CHIEF OF POLICE COOPER.

Future writer's in dealing with af-
fairs affecting the early history of
Lincoln will be assured of one inter-
esting subject. This is P H. Cooper,
chief of police OF the Lincoln police
force During his regime, Lincoln
has seen it's police service grow into
one of the fineast organizations in
the country. A thorough discipl1nar-
ian and natural born criminal hunter,
Chief Cooper has brought the police
force of Lincoln up to a standard OF
efficiency that is the boast of its
citizens. No city in the country IS
as free of evildoers and ne has been
a terror to criminals of all classes.
Shrewd, quick, alert, with a discern
ment that has been the marvel OF men
who have tried to deceive him. he
has directed man hunts that have
resulted in running down some OF the
worst criminals that ever operated
in any municipality. Besides being a
man of astute intellect he has re-
markable memory for faces which has
been a discomforture to many d
wrong doer who might otherwise have
escaped the ultimate consequences OF
his act. 1t is said of Chief Cooper
that he never forgets crime and
the criminal who hopes to escape the
consequences of an act by forgetful
lapses of time before ne shows up
again, comes to grief if he is brought
in contact with Chief Cooper. Con-
scientious and clean, Chief Cooper's
regime has been above reproach and
he has won the respect and conf
dence of all citizens for his work
which has been above blemish:

the Earl mine. Already the mine is be-
ing worked and carload shipments of
silica are being made to large soap
manufacturers throughout the country.
1t is Mr.. Earls intention to enter upon
the manufacture of articles upon
scale that will utilize practically the
entire output Of the mine This will
mean the employment of hundreds of
people in Lincoln, a consequent adj
dition of thousands of dollars to- the
monthly pay roll, and proportional
increase in the volume of business
transacted by Lincoln business men.
The project is not based upon suppo-
sition, but upon actual fact There is
no competition in the raw product, for
the nearest silica producer is sicily,
and the earthquake in Italy has eff
fectually closed the mines of that
country for many months to come
The securing of the Earl Company for
Lincoln is one of the most important
manufacturing coups ever made by
a western city.

NERRAskA's STATE SILICA MINES
Promises to Develop Into One of the
States Largest Industries.

For years it has been generally be-
lieved that Nebraska possessed no
mineral wealth, and therefore it would
be impossible to develop the mining
industry. And now comes the knowl-
edge that Nebraska possesses great
mineral wealth. More than that it
possesses a mineral that is unique in
that it is found nowhere in the United
States save in Nebraska. Silica is the
name of the mineral. 1t is really pow
dered pumice stone, and ever since
the discovery of it's myriad uses the
entire supply has been imported from
Sicily. But recently two enormous de-
posits of this mineral have been dis
covered in Nebraska, both in Harlan
county. :
