Utilizing Closet Space.

A long towel rack screwed to the
underside of the clothes closet shelf
makes very convenient thing on
which to hang clothes which hive been
placed on hangers. This keeps them
away from the calcimine on the wall
and keeps them always straight in
shape without crowdlng. This method
gives greater space to q closet.

STRAW HATS
STREAMING IN
Dreshers Already Putting 1918 "Cin
ger" Into Thousands of Straw
Hats That Did Valiant
Duty Last Year.
Hats Come Out Like New Again, So
Why Isn't 1t the Safe, Sane and
Certainly Economical Way
To Do?

Here they come! Bunches. Bush
els. Barrels. Packages of them. Last
years Straw Hats-both Mems and
Women's. Somehow or other the pop
ulace has learned that the experienced
Hatters at the immense Dry Cleaning
and Dyeing Plant Of Dresher Broth
ers at 2211-2217 Farnam St., Omaha,
can make new hat out of an old one,
and folk are not going to fritter
money away on new ones if old ones
can be made as good as new.
Take your Panama hats, for in
stance-Dreshers clean 'em, reblock
'em and finish up by reshaping, re-
trimming and refining 'em. It's far
cheaper to do this than to buy a new
Panama-try it and see.
And what applies to Panamas ap-
plies to all other hats sent to Dresh-
ers. No job too hard to handle. No
job too large or too small. Just send
'em along. There's big and able
force of real hatters here ready to do
the work. If you doubt their abilities
just stand around and watch them
make a new hat from start to finish.
Dreshers Shoe Repairing Depart
ment, too, is rapidly becoming better
known. Hundreds of pairs of shoes
are sent here weekly and when the
owners again get them they agree
that Dreshers are also "some shoe
makers" An expert from one of the
largest concerns in Chicago is in
charge Of the Shoe Repairing here
and he is'backed by all the necessary
equipment Dreshers money could buy.
Better send in your Hats and Shoes
at once. Phone Tyler 345 for Dresh-
er man or leave work at the plant, at
Dresher The Tailors, 1915 Farnam
st., or at one of the Dresher branch
es in the Burgess-Nash or Brandeis
Stores. Dreshers pay express or
parcel post one way on all out-of-
town shipments.-Adv.

Here is a trio of girl spoonholders.
They certainly are medal winners,

ladies are certain to carry on the ed
ucational work in which their moth
ers are interested. Who knows there
may be three future club presidents
smiling out of the picture above.
They are Miss Ann Edwards. 8
months old, daughter of Mrs. Lee Ed
wards; Miss Katherine Constance
Walker, 8 months old, daughter of
Mrs. E. o. Edwards; Miss Marjorie
Ann Henningson. 6 months old,
daughter of Mrs. H. A. Henningson.
