The wageworker. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1904-????, 1909-02-20

Lincoln is the home of extensive
establishments in every branch Of
trade, and under the favorable trade
conditions which prevail here all
forms of commercial endeavor flourish
and grow. One branch of trade which
has received more than ordinary trade
stimulus in it's line is the wholesale
drug business Of which Lincoln can
justly feel proud of. We refer to the
Lincoln Drug company, as being a
concern that should be patronized by
every retail druggist in Lincoln, and
that the product OF this concern should
be demanded by every loyal citizen of
our city. The success this company
has won is based upon the experience
and thorough knowledge of all the
manifold details of the drug trade.
and this explains why the great stock
embraced in the numerous depart
lnents is SO complete that there is
nothing that retail druggist can call
for and can not be supplied It is we'll
understood that the stock carried by
this house is strictly representative
of the most reliable and perfect prod
ucts That can be secured This COM
pany gives employment to a large
road force and they cover large ter
ritory throughout the west It is a
pleasure to give this firm prominent
mention at this time.

n. p. LAU co.

Lincoln has every reason to feel
proud of it's commercial achievements.
and of the large houses in the whole
sale line that have made it one of
the great distributing centers in the
middle west.
In the wholesale grocery trade, our
city is represented by houses of the
highest standing. and one to which
we wish to make special reference is
that OF H. p. Lau Co.
This house was established in 1870
by H. p Lau and during the thirty
nine years of it's existence, has done
much to advance the commercial i'll
terests of the city, and has high
standing here. The company does a
large business in the city and through
out the west and middle west, and
it's trade is constantly increasing.
This company is one that has al
ways held it's place among the fore
most wholesale houses in the west,
and it is the only one in Lincoln hav-
ing it's own coffee roasting plant. In
this department, the blending and
roasting of coffee is done under the

supervision of man of twenty-six
years experience, which explains the
gain in reputation and popularity
every day and week of it's famous
''LAU" brand of coffees. They also
put out complete line of canned
fruits, vegetables and pure food
products under the "LAU" and BLACK
bird" brands, and the increased de-
mand for "LAU" and Blackbird' pro-
ducts shows conclusively that the
consumer today requires high grade
article at a reasonable price.
The gentlemen at the head of this
enterprise are men who have the best
interests of the city at heart, and men
who are connected with it's financial
and social advancement as we'll. They
are widely known here, and abroad,

The plan of insurance outlined and

Lincoln is we'll illustrated in the

and one we wish to call attention to
is that of Harpham Bros. Co., manu-
facturers and jobbers of everything
in harness and saddlery. The remark
able progress and prosperity made by
this firm is due, in a large measure,
to facilities and to the fact that they
are reliable and responsible in every
sense of the word. This concern does
not sell their products at retail, but
nevertheless a great many of our
members have occasion to purchase
their products, and they should at all
