full and complete line of dry goods

Importance of Wheeling, and at all
times pleases his patrons as, to 'goods
and prices at which they may be OBJ

of business is that which has been
ably conducted for good many years

THE WHEELING IRON 8 METAL
j COMPANY

In reality it has been the business
concerns of Wheeling which have SO
materially aided the city. and, our
people should all recognize this to the
extent of giving our business houses
their undivided support. The Ma
jority in this issue wishes to call the
attention of its readers in Wheeling
and vicinity to one of the really ben
eficial business enterprises OF. Wheel
ing, and one which should have our
support. We have reference to the
Wheeling Iron & Metal Co., located
conveniently at 2712 Market street,
with the factory and yards at 2712
Main street. This company deals in
iron and steel scrap. rubber and
metals, and they are also the manu-
facturers of washers and felloe
plates, and their goods have become
recognized far and near as the very
best of their character. and they sell
reasonable. We are certain that if
our readers bear this place of bust
ness in mind in the future that they
will be benefited. A. ]. Emerman
and J. Miller are the proprietors OF
the business. ~

PETERSON BROS.

We feel that it is a duty the Ma
jority owes to the general public to
call attention in this issue to that
well known business firm, Peterson
Bros, 1906 Market street. and at the
same time to ask those of our read
ers who have not been in the habit
of patronizing this place of business
to do so. Peterson Bros. are cleo
trical contractors. and they have con-
stantly on hand all sorts of electrical
supplies which they sell at most reas-
enable prices, and they they sell the
best and most durable gas and cleo
trical arc lamps. ~and they charge
most reasonable prices for all goods
of this most important and necessary
character. It has. often been said
that there is nothing too large or
small for this enterprising firm to
undertake, and their work in the past
has proven this assertion to be cor
rect. H. r. j.. and c.. A. Peterson
are the proprietors of this company
and they are both we'll and favorably
known to this entire section.

THE NICKELODEON.

The Majority has always advocated
that its readers should find some in
nocent place of amusement in the
evenings, go there and spend a -briet
spell, and get rid of the cares of the
day. Now we are in position to tell
our readers that If they will but pat
ronize the Nickelodeon, 1925 Main
street.. they will find the exact place
of amusement for which they have
been looking. and they will get into
the habit of going there regularly
and will be greatly identified by SO
doing. This is moving picture show
of the highest possible character, and
Thos. H. p Keyser. the popular man
ager, is using his utmost endeavors
to please the public to the extent that
he will make the general public his
patrons for all time to come. There
are constant changes in the pictures,
and all sorts of the best of pictures
are given many times each day. We
invite patronage of this popular and
worthy place of amusement.

VIM. J. FREY.

It is the duty of every loyal union
man to foster and encourage those
establishments which have in every
way shown a friendly attitude toward
the cause of organized labor, and
when an establishment is found that
merits the full confidence and patron
age of union workmen, our members
should not be slow in patronizing it.
A commendable example of an en-
terprise of this character is the shoe
store, which for Is years was oper-
ated by Harry S. Menkemeller at
2151 Market street. Mr. William J
Frey, the subject of this sketch, has
recently purchased the business. He
is we'll known to many of our read
ers, and has long been a member OF
Local Union No. 6, N. B. of o. P.
Mr. Frey intends to conduct the store
along the same genrral lines upon
which it has SO successfully been
conducted, and that he will succeed
is an assured fact. He carries a full
an dcomplete line of SAll America
Union Label shoes-a brand recog-
nized as standard of excellence and
durability.

THE PEERLESS DAIRY.

Joseph ]. Weiskircher of 1853 Six
teenth street, wishes to call the at
sention of the readers of the Majority
of Wheeling and vicinity to the fact
that he is amply able to serve them
all with the best and purest' of milk
and cream. and that he also charges
the most reasonable prices for these
goods. He wants to say that he will
deliver these goods if wanted, and
that they will be fresh and clearly
when delivered, and that the prices
will be so reasonable that they will
at once appeal to anyone. Mr..
Weiskircher has been doing business
in and about Wheeling for a good
many years. and he SO thoroughly
respects the wishes of the public that
he will adopt any meritorious sug-
gestion offered by them and will
thereafter incorporate it in his bust
ness. If our readers would begin
buying milk from this dealer we are
sure they would continue, and also
ask their friends to buy goods of this
charaster also from him.

PETER ERR & SON.

The Well-stOcked livery stable OF
Peter Nrb & Son is handily located
atz37-43 Twentieth street in Wheel
ing, and we are pleased to note that
the place is being patronized extern
sively by many readers of The Ma
jority. Upon inquiry, however, the
fact has been learned that the horses
at this stable are sleek-looking and
handsome, and the vehicles are very
easy and comfortable, and upon
further inquiry, we find that the
prices for all of the rigs at the place
of business are the most reasonable.
In Wheeling and surrounding terri
tory there ars> many interesting
places to go in a\rig, and all of the
liveries of the city are doing a good
business, but we can say that Peter
Erb & Son have their full share CT
the patronage of the people in gen
eral, and would also say that we
would like to see more Majority
readers their patrons.

The Majority that the saloon which
carried the best of wines. liquors and
beers and the choicest of Union-made
cigars. and the one which has good
and convenient location. was one fol
all Of our people to patronize? The
Majority would consider that this de
scription exactly fits the saloon Of
Thomas Howley. at 1921 Market
street. All Of the people who have
been dealing at this place of business
for several years mean to continue
to deal there, for they have been
treated In the most kind and courte-
GUS manner by the proprietor and his
barkeepers, and the fact is that Mr.
Howley will not employ anyone but
those who will treat each customer
with every courtesy. That is why this
place Of business is so popular at the
present, and 1t is why there will be a
greater trade in the future, for ou1
people. are praising the place to
others at all times. and these others
are going there also. "a

BERNARD MEHEN.

While the Majority does not wish
to advise too much indulgence In the
cup that cheers. (gsill it recognizes
the fact that afterSour working people
have gone through hard days toll
they need some refreshments to keep
them up. and we also recognize that
these refreshments should be OF the
purest character and at the same time
be at reasonable prices. That Is the
reason that this paper Is going to ask
Its readers to become the patrons of
the liquor store of bernard Mehen,
located at 1917 Market street. Mr..
Mehen has always been q friend OF
the working people, and especially SO
II those working people were organ

terially in anything which would be
to their Ultimate good. A conse-
