Equipment just In.
stalled at This
Modern Plant.

1t has cost Dresher Brothers, the
immense Drys Cleaners and Dyers
at 2211-2217 Farnam street,
Omaha, just $4,000 to add equip
men to make capacity enough in
their superb concrete and steel
fur storage vaults.
And, the additional equipment
was built bv no less a concern than
the Baker Ice Machine Co. Of our
own glourious Omaha, a concern
that is shipping its product to all
points Of the compass and all parts
Of the earth. (Mr. Baker please
notice this free advertisment.)
The fact is that the fur storage
business here became so large that
new equipment was needed--and
today this stands as fine as any
storage plant in America, and
knowing ones say it is the best in
America.
SO, there is just room enough to
accommodate q few more lots Of
furs. If you have your furs about
your home now you are running
splendid chance Of running them
that is, the MOTHS will ruin them
for you--or you may experience a.
visit from q burglar---or the furs
may become burnt up in a fire---or
they may become damaged in some
way. You are insured against
ALL of this at Dresher Brothers,
and, who cares to take his own
rish when someone else makes a
business Of taking the risk for you.
Do the right thing. Send your
furs in now. First have Dreshers'
experts clean 'em nicely - then
have 'em stored away safely and
snugly until cold weather sets in.
Dreshers' Fur Workers, by the
way, viii offer inducements on
Furs made to order or repaired
during the summer. When the
work Is slac'; you can secure "bar-
gains" in this line, for the fur
workers must be kept here until
fall and might as well be busted.
Remember - YOU cannot pro-
tect your furs as well as Dreshers
can. Phone Tyler S45 for q
Dresher man, leave work at the
plant, 2211-2217 Farnam St., at
Dresher the Tailors, 1915 Farnam
St., or at one of the Dresher
Branches in the Burgess-Nash or
Brandeis Stores. Dreshers pay

way on any shipment out of town.

McAdoo Favors
Soldiers Keeping
Life Insurance
Payments May Be Con
tinued for Five Years
After Peace

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-As SOL
made to impress on them the de-
STABILITY of their continuing payments
on their government voluntary life in
surance, which can be maintained for
five years after peace, even though
the soldier has returned to civil life.
This will be done by insurance
agencies in the army, working together
with authorities of the Treasury War
Risk Insurance Bureau.
Secretary McAdoo in a statement
has urged soldiers to retain their in
surance to protect their families and
to retain the right to convert this into
other forms to be providedsby the gov
ernment. An additional reason, it is
! said, is the Treasury's desire to make
of the soldiers and sailors insur-
ance a demonstration that government
life insurance is successful, and can
be extended
~ desire to remind all Americas S
soldiers and Sailors" said Mr.. Nc
Adoo's statement, chat it is their op-
portunity and their privilege to keep
up their insurance with the United
States Government after the war has
officially terminated and even after
they have returned to civil life.
'In its present form, this insurance
is annual, renewable term insurance
at net peace rates, issued against death
and total permanent disability. Under
the provisions of the War Risk In
surance At, every person holding this
insurance may keep it up in this form
even after he leaves the service, for a
period Of five yars All this is neccs-
ssary is the regular payment of prem
iums.
IN Moreover, the law provides that not
later than five years after the termina-
ton OF the war as declared by Presti-
dental proclamation, the term insur-
ance as may be converted by regula-
tlons and as the insured may request.
This insurance will continue to be gov
ernment insurance.
The advantages of keeping this in
surence in force cannot be emphasized
too strongly. The right to continue it
IS valuable right given by the gov
ernment to our fighting men as com
pensation for their services. If this
right is lost by allowing insurance to
lapse the holder cannot again obtain
insurance except from private com
panles at considerable increase in
cost
