A screen version of the noted Reizen-
stein play ION Trial is the feature at
the Rialto this week

the saying true, at least in this in
stance.
The company was first started about
three years ago and was known as
tie Zimmerman Manufacturing COM
pany. Soon after its organization Mr..
Lux purchased half interest in the
business and last May secured the
entire stock. Under his management
the company has rapidly increased its
output until today if is one of the
most fiourising business firms OF its
size in the city of Lincoln.
The company, situated at Twenty
third and X streets, on the Missouri
Pacific tracks, employs fifteen men
at the present time, although the ca
pacity of the plant would give en-
ployment TO many more. However.
men are hard 70 find and the kind
that is required by the Lux people
must be mighty good. The company
does general sheet meta work,
making a speciality of reconstruction
and repair of automobiles. Old d.
lapidated affairs that would seem
to have out-lived their usefulness are
made to look like new machines,
under the system of reconstruction
used by the company.
