OMAHANS BACK TO

Ak Sar- Ben Over and Local
People Are Concerned Over
Winter Preparations.
Dresher Bros. Help Many Who
Had Garments Soaked In
Last Weeks Rain.

All that now remains of the 1914 Ak
Sar-Ben festivities is a pleasant memory;
a new king and queen; a desolate look
ing carnival grounds, and blocks upon
blocks of streets Uttered with confetti.
It's a case of. The king is dead, long
live the king This years Ak-Sar- Ben
is over with, but next years is already
in the making.
Well, now that it's a thing OF the past,
why not get down to brass tacks and
have your winter clothes cleaned? Why
not have Dresher Brothers work a mir
acle over your garments at their S67 900
plant at 22ll-22l3 Farnam St? Why not
have Dreshers take your last season s
heavy garments and re-style them; dye
them: repair them, alter them, refine
them, clean and press them? Why not
have Dreshers put new shape to your
last seasons hat? Why not have Dresher
Bros. go over your furs and make them
soft, fluffy, clean and nicely wearable?
And-oh, yes-the garments that you
had soaked during the rains of the last
week? Have you had a cleaner put them
in shape yet? Remember, the longer you
leave a rain-soaked garment lay around.
the worse il Is for the garment. Mildew
sets in. increased and baggy places are
harder to remove; spots seem to set
harder.
Better get all OF your Ak-Sar- Ben
that the festivities are over; better get
your last winter duds renovated at a
fraction of the cost of new ones, now that
you are down to hard, plain. everyday
life again.
