usefulness to Uncle Sam in winning

Hank Achenbach bid US goodbye

his old home at Peoria, ILL.,, after

The Reichman Brothers have opened
up a retail cigar store at Seventeenth
and Arapahoe streets which, however,
is an old stand, but will be run now
as headquarters for union made Gig
ars and tobacco. They will feature
their famous Mount Morris cigars

The Labor Day committee is GER
tainly entitled to credit for the sue
cessful way in which they conducted
the celebration. So far we have the

George L. Seitz, an old time mem-
Der of No. 129, who has been located
in Pueblo for number of years and
for several years police judge in that
city, was in town this week to get in
structions in his new work of factory
inspector, to which position he has
been recently appointed. George is a
good union man and believes in
high scale of prices, but he says he
does not think it just right for a
barber to charge him so cents for a
hair cut when he only has about 35
cents worth of hair to start with.
George and Bill Nye were schoolmates.
which may account for their resem-
blance.

Charles Rinkey. formerly member
of No. 12e. died on the 18th inst. While

1t is hardly worth while to mention
the three little non-union shops in
Denver. but for fear that some may
be deceived in their goods we again
call attention to the Ranger, Hagler's
Hand Made, Hessler's Single Binder
and Sierra Cruz as being of the ma
chine and cheap labor variety of
goods that you are asked to pay as
much for as for the union product.
Ask your dealer for label goods, same
price as the other kind.
Jack Shively writes from Los An
geles that he is now engaged in ship
building. Works ten hours, takes four
hours to go and come from work. and
