Dancer & Burgess

The above concern, which is one of
Wheeling's foremost business enter
prises, has recently opened a new and
magnificent store on Market street,
extending clear thrpugh to Main
street. Their business at the present
time occupies several floors and is one
of the most handsomely appointed en-
terprises of it's kind to be. found any
where in the United States. They
have large and magnificent stock Of
every kind and quality of floor cover
ings, rugs, art squares, draperies, and
interior decorations. 1t is certainly a
revelation for a person to take trip
through this magnificent store, and
one would gaze in wonderment at
their gorgeous display of merchandise
of this kind. They also handle va
riety of vacuum and electric cleaners
in various styles and prices that are
most suitable for comforts at this time
of the year. We are certainly pleased
to see this concern making such won
derful strides toward success and
trust that their business in the future
will more than over-balance the en-
ergy,~ the capital, and hard work that
they have so unse1fishly contributed
to it's starting. Both Mr.. Dancer and
Mr.. Burgess are young business men
of sterling qualities and ability and we
have heard nothing but praise as to
their tactics and business methods.
This is one concern Of which our peo-
pie can truly be proud and we would
consider it an extreme pleasure to
have more such concerns In our midst.
We trust that the new year viii bring
them many happy returns and that
they will enjoy an era of ever increas-
ing success and popularity.

when the enterprising manager of-
Liyingston's store, Mr., Harry Bernlan

not one cent added to the price of any

this store so popular still prevail The

appreciation of all unionists for having

contagious and that the business and professional classes
of Wheeling may no longer be kept immune by the psy
choogy Of their cash drawers from the floating germs OF
human understanding.

would pledge themselves not to work
in Ohio for less than q Accent rate.
They demanded that the miners,
through their representatives, should
give their word. The pledge was given.
It was to hold the men In honor bound
until April /, 1916. The pledge hav-
ing been given, the operators OF the
Hooking Valley and Cambridge dis
tricts opened their mines ON the
strength Of that pledged faith. Thirty
five thousand miners obtained q
chance to work for their wives and
children because the $4,000 miners Of
the Fifth sub-district had given their
word of honor. and it was deemed
good.
The Miners Pledge.
The coal operators of western Ohio
accepted as sacred and Trustworthy
the pledge Of honest men. Every busis
ness man who exchanges goods for q
check does the same. Every banker
who exchanges money for a note or
bond does likewise. The whole Of
modern business Is based on credit.
Credit, as the word itself implies,
means that a man can be believed. Hk
means that we have faith that man
will keep his promised word. Even
the mine operator of eastern Ohio who
has locked out his men expects his
debtors to redeem their notes. He ex-
poets his business associates TO keep
their promises.

Collective Bach-in0.
It was e G. Jacobs, an Ell Paso and
Southwestern engineer, who on FRIDAY
told of an ovel way for engineers and
firemen away from home to beat the
high cost of living bogy. Engineer
Jacobs said that on his run down In
the New Mexico region, restaurant
| fare had become something of bore
and he had formed a little association
with a dozen, other engineers who had
built shacks at the end of one OF their
runs, installed beds in these little
houses and gasoline ranges. Instead
of depending upon rather poor accom-
modations the members rof the shack
association go to these comfortable
huts. cook their own meals and sleep
inpeace.
Regarding frenzied finance, it fell to
Grand Chief Stone to light this fuse
and develop the minor explosion which
took place. Mr. Carter was on the
stand and in some way the topic was
lightly touched upon, whereupon Mr.
Stone asked the following questions
"Mr.s Carter do you think that u
the employees were running the raj

Otherwise they would blush for
shame. Otherwise they could not ask
the miners to break their word and
accept q rate of less than AZ cents
before April /, 1916. After that date,
when the present contract expires, the
miners may agree. Then, IL they
choose to work for 40 cents, for 20
cents, for 10 cents, or for cent ton.
they are free In honor to do so-if
they could exist on any such wage.
Now, however, they must receive 45
cents or choose to starve, and perish
from the cold. There is absolutely no
other alternative open to them, II
the operators were to offer them.
46.99 cents they could not accept Il.
Honor is at stake. Manhood Is I'll the

what doth it profit a man If he gain
the whole world and suffer the loss Of

"The Temptation in the Desert"
These noble brothers Of ours have
been sorely tempted and tried during
mine weary months. Well may they
pray: LEAD Us not into temptation"
Their present fare is coarse black
bread and black coffee. Suppose that
in addition to a rate of 1888 cents
they were offered q daily abundance

the mine owners. The miners could

Suppose that the wives and daugh-
