DRESAERS PAY
ONE WAY ON
ANY SHIPMENT
Dreshers Make Offer That Will
Prove Boon to out-of-
Town Folks.
SEND EVEN A PAIR OF
GLOVES TO BE CLEANED

Dresher Bros. the Dry Cleaners and
Dyers with the $4,000 plant at S21l-221s
Farnam street, have now removed the
last barrier to thousands upon thousands
OF shipments of cleaning work to be sent
in by those living out of town.
Until now. Dreshers have paid return
charges only on shipments OF work
amounting to 50 or over; but now Dresh-
ers will pay return charges on any
sized shipment. No matter If you send
in only a pair of gloves to be cleaned at
a cost of only 1Oc, Dreshers will pay the
return charges to your city. Until now
many persons thought It wouldn't pay
to send in packages of cleaning work un-
less the work amounted to SO or over,
simply because they were compelled to
pay charges both ways IL the work
amounted to less.
But now every restriction is removed
and Dreshers will be deluged by an i'm
mense increase OF work. The man who
has only a hat or necktie to clean will
not need hesitate to send IL in because
Dreshers will meet him half way on the
carrying charges, no matter how small
the cleaning bill may be. The same APP
plies to the woman who may have only
waist to clean.
This new ruling of Dreshers applies to
shipments made to any part of America
or Americas possessions, even though the
shipping charges might in some instances
amount to more than the work. Dreshers
have started out to be modern and mod
ern they will be at any cost.
And here's another bit of information
that will prove interesting-you may run
a charge account at Dreshers, no matter
where you live, If only you are a re-
sponsible person with a reputation for
paying bills You will receive a state
ment sent out at the first of each month
and you may settle by check, which is
far handler than buying money orders
and the like.
So, get out your winter clothes, you
who live far away Dreshers will clean
up your wearables and dye or recut and
restyle them for you If you wish. Dresh-
ers will absolutely prove that 1t is folly
to buy new clothes before you find out
just what may be done with your old
garments at much less expense.
Don't stop for anything. No matter
how small your bundle is. send it in. If
you live in the city all you need do is
phone Tyler 345 and take advantage OF
Dreshers' instant wagon service.
Or you may leave your bundle at the
Dresher plant, at Dresher the Tailor,
1915 Farnam street. or at the Dresher Re
ceiving Station in the Brandeis stores.

ALL FLEMISH WlNDMILLS
ARE ORDERED SMASHED

Correspondence OF the Associated Press.)
ANTWERP. Nov. 14.-orders to Smash
up the windmills anywhere within ten
miles of any possible engagement" have
been issued by officers Of the allied
armies.
1t he's been found that the Flemish
windmills are as dangerous as they are
picturesque. Many of them surmount
lofty brick bases which give the wheels
a total height of seventy-five or 100 feet.
The Germans were quick to avail them
selves of these high windmills as signal
stations and both by day and night they
made use Of them in many of the fights

(Correspondence Of the Associated Press)
BORDEAUX, Nov. 11--Georges Clemen-
ceau, although he holds office no longer
still remains one of the commanding
figures in French public life.
1t is now forty-four years since he
came to Bordeaux as a member of the
National Assembly. Even then when all
appeared lost, he declared that France
would rise again and vindicate ITSELF
and he has worked ceaselessly throughout
his long and brilliant career to bring
about the realization. 1t was with that
end in view that he effected the under
standing with England. so fruitful in it's
results not only to the French foreign
policy but on the French national char
acter.

men daily read those articles instinct with
the spirit of enlightened patriotism into

trenchant criticism of mismanagement in

fluence induced him to make, criticisms
which have always been fruitful in good
results.
