GOV. WILLIAM +. GLASSCOCK.

This educational edition would be very
incomplete did we neglect to make brief
mention of the chief magistrate of the
State. Gov Glasscock is serving his first
term in the gubernatorial chair. but has
early demonstrated his fitness for the po-
sition. Recognition such as labor re-
celEes from him, takes away any excuse
for the formation of dangerous societies.
and, in fact, inspires our labor organiza-
tons with sense of their responsibility
as citizens and with laudable desire to
merit the approval of their fellowmen.
We take this opportunity of extending
TO Gov. Glasscock our hearty congratula-
tions upon the manner in which he has
met the intricate questions which have
confronted him, and we felicitate our
selves in giving him space herein.

BAUER MEAT & FISH co.

One of the most commendable move
ments during recent years was the cru
SADIE, if it may be SO termed, for pure
food products This movement was an
encouragement to concerns which have al
ways taken care to provide their patrons
with the best and purest. The Bauer
Meat and Fish CO., located at 2S-3O Cant
toll, conduct an establishment which for
sanitation has no peer in this section.
In addition to purity there is quality and
the right price. They are opening up
another market on Charleston street, Elk
City, which will have even more up to- date
appointments than the present one This
store holds position of well merited
leadership in its particular line and is
worthy of being classed as friend of
labor.

The success this gentleman has met
with in the short while he has been 10
Gated in the city is largely attributed to
his policy of strictly high grade goods at
the lowest prices. Mr.. Brown certainly
deserves the support and patronage of
labor, as he has always been with us with

of his sincerity! While he is not the
oldest business man in the city, we are
glad to note he is meeting with tremen.

ELK BANKING CO.

The most important requisite of a
good banking institution is absolute Sc
surity. Nothing take the place in
the minds of its patrons of that feeling
of confidence which every depositor
should reposc in the integrity and sta
bility of the institution in whose keeping
he has placed his money. This applies
especially to the wage Garner. Those
who earn the least feel the greatest need
of this security. This bank proves its
worth of the consideration of the thous
ands of union men in this district II
has on many occasions demonstrated a
most cordial relationship with labor. As
a financial institution that has stood the
test of time, this bank is recognized as
being the most friendly to labor
The executives and employees are cour-
tcous and painstaking. The officers are
men of affairs in this community and
every movement having for its object the
upbuilding of our city and it's advance
mcnt commercially and industriaIly has
their active cooperation. This bank was
the first in the city to inaugurate the
opening on Saturday nights for the ac-
commodation of laboring people. We
take pleasure in bringing these facts be-
fore our hosts of union men and urge
our members to an active interest in up
holding this institution

SOLOF'S DEPARTMENT STORE.

OF the various large stores in our city
we know of none more deserving of Ia
bor's support than Solof s. $50 Capitol
street. They are dealers in millinery.
dry goods and ready-to-wear garments.
The prosaic and stereotyped has no place
in the planning and stocking of this
store which is a veritable show place. 1t
is pertinent 10 note that this concern has
always treated labor with the utmost
fairness; hence we bespeak for it the
united support of our members.

IDEAL PHARMACY.

If there is one thing about which there
should be no question, it is the quality
of the ingredients used in compounding
physicians prescriptions; none the less
carefully should we select a pharmacy
known to employ but competent
clerks; we too often read of serious or
fatal results from the compromising of
prescriptions. In these respects we have
no hesitancy in recommending this store
as absolutely reliable Everything may
be found here which is kept in a modern
drug store. Mr.. A r. Johnson. the pro-
prietor, has only been in possession of the
store since July /, but has always shown
himself a substantial friend of the labor
movement and we pleased to endorse
him.

KANAWHA LAND co.

Plentiful work and good wages often
mean to the thrifty and frugal wage
Garner a surplus over that necessary to
support his family, and therefore you
often find the wage Garner well as
the capitalist buying real estate rs mat
ter of investment. In the last few years
Charleston has greatly and continuously
advanced in all of her business interests
and no business has shown greater
growth scope than has real estate.
In this line there is one firm in Charles
ton which is the equal Of, if not superior
to. any in larger cities. The Ka1awha
Land Co. has not only shown most con
siderate and friendly attitude toward the
cause of labor, but has helped to bring
about conditions in the way of sub-divis-
ions of larger properties and other propi-
tious conditions to workingmen which
ordinarily do not prevail. No firm merits
the esteem and confidence of the public
more than The Kanawha Land Co. If
you are looking for a home or an invest
ment you would do well to consult this
company. There is no better Indication
of the stability of this company than j
glance at the officers name viii show.
They are: Pres. W a. MacCork1e !;
