A little history: Chesterfield
has been a county for auout 145
years. Some more history Ches.
terheld has never sent repre-.
sentative TO Congress. The pres.
ent situation: Chesterfield has
an opportunity to send her man
I to Washington in tn. person of
the Hon. w. r. Stevenson. Some
more history: 1t is said that if
Chesterfield had done her duty
two years ago she would now
have her name enrolled at the
Capital of the nation, and repre-
sented by one of the brightest
men of the South. Some logic.
We see no reason why Chester
field county should not vote to
man for it's own interests IN this
matter, laying .aside such petty
objections as may possibly exist
The G. & l.. r. r. under the
efficient and energetic manage
ment Of Mr.. Latta, is entering
upon new era of prosperity and
1t is a foregnne conclusion that
the prosperity Of railroad and
the territory it serves are inter-
dependent. This road is now
turning it's attent ton to the hand
ling OF truck, such as cautaloup
es. watermeilons, tomatoes, pota.
toes, but most important of all,
peanuts and soy beans. This
road is anxious to ship these
things and consequently has
found and is finding an initiating
market. This paper will have
more to say along this line later
as the plans develop. 1t is suffi.
cient now to say that we have
maintained all along that Ches
terheid County is not one crop
territory Our soil is versatile
1t can do most any thing SO all
our farmers need is to get in
touch with a profitable market
for their truck in order to make !
dlVersihcatlon more profitable
The y. &. l. is planning to
bring tn" market to your door. !

Dresher Brothers, Cleaners,

Success Given Them.
In Return for Favors, Will
Render an Exceedingly
Prompt Thanksgiving"

Dresher Brothers, the. Dry

cause of the numerous years of

Just think: Dreshers plant has
gotten to the point where 100 en-
ployees are necessary Exclusive OF
the force at Dresher The Tailors,
1915 Farnam street,. And nine
automobiles are required to de-
liver the clothes that are put in
order for Omahans each and every
working day.
Then, too, Dreshers have those
busy branch offices at the Bran
deis Stores, at the Burgess-Nash
Co.'S, and at the Harvey street Of
flee directly in the rear of the
Dresher plant. Add to this the
thousands of packages that are re-
ceived right along from all parts
Of America. Dreshers pay express
or parcel post charges one way on
any sized shipment, and for that
reason have been accorded mail
order patronage second to none in
the land.
The Dresher plant today repre-
sents an investment Of $4,000,
but it has taken eighteen years of
study and six years Of actual prac-
tice to bring this immense indus
try about.
Now, then, in order to show an
appreciation of this success, Dresh-
ers feature the Service, Not
Self" idea. Dreshers will call for
your work any time Monday and
agree to have the clothes back to
you, in superb condition, by
Wednesday evening in plenty of
time for Thanksgiving day wear.
Just phone Tyler 345 for Dresh-
er Auto and the Dresher workers
will do the rest.
As repeatedly told you, Dresh-
ers will do much towards reducing

Dreshers will place your last sea-
sons garments into spick and
