VIRGINIA THEATRE
Finest ard Most Comfortable
Park and Randolph ST. :.
Champaign. Illinois.
10-Piece Drehestra-Organ.

The advent Of the moving picture
show marks a new era in popular en-
tertainment and the increasing at
traction which it has with the public
is evidence of its continued and per
manent popularity; with the mechanl-
cal process an its production well
nigh perfected, and the best dramatic
talent engaged in its service, for
realistic representation, ITS future
possibilities would seem to be limit
less. Few modern inventions have
developed so rapidly as has the Gin
ematograph. From the product OF
playlets of small proportions and
mediocre value it has become the
medium of elaborate dramatic produc-
tons such as were formerly only to
be witnessed on the legitimate stage.
And along one line especially has its
advance been marked and its progress
made. The educational field, most Of
all, has been exploited and it is with
satisfaction that we note the. develop
ment in this direction.
The VIII ginia Theatre shows many
educational pictures of the highest
class productions.
Reproductions of the great events
in history, both sacred and profane,
dramatizations of literary master
pieces, illustrations of the processes
of our great manufacturing Industries,
all these awaken the interest and
stimulate the intellect. And the es-
Enlistment of a national censorship
has eliminated all that was objection
able or unworthy.
The modern moving picture show
has a wide field before it in our edu-
cational life and it is available to
everyone. None so poor but what can
afford its moderate price of admis-
sion.
The finest and most comfortable in
Champaign, is The Virginia Theatre
and under its able management it
enjoys an extensive patronage, which
is justly due it.

ILLINOIS POWER &
LIGHT CORPORATION

Public utilities form one of the
chief assets to the comfort, conven-
fence and progress of any community,
and there never was a time when the
Illinois Power & Light Corporation
Company, through its wonderful
energy and progressive spirit, has
done more to promote the best inter
ests of the community than at pres
ent. In fact, right now, when every
effort is being bent toward rejuvena-
ton Of business, the readjustment of
conditions upon a pre-war basis, the
company has used every precaution
and demonstrated fully that they are
in strict accord and deep sympathy
with everyone who is inclined along
similar lines The Illinois Power 4
Light Corporation has problems to
solve that would stagger the average
individual In fact, they would be
impossible of solution were it not for
the great organization behind the
Company and its immense capital in
vested for the benefit of its patrons.
The Twin City Review has every
sympathy for public utilities. We
realize, Of course, that they can be
forced to seek recourse in somewhat
increased prices for their service, but
this Is but a common occurrence in
business circles, and every merchant
and manufacturer will adjust condi.
tons and prices to meet current con
ditions.
The Light Company serves a vas
community faithfully and well. The,

BUEHLER BROS.
The Market Where the Laboring
Mans Dollar Goes the Farthest.
225 North Neil Street.

There is nothing of more import
ance to a community than first class
meat market. Ii requires no argu-
ment to prove this statement, as the
fact is self-evident at practically
every table in the land
Conspicuous among the markets of
Champaign is that of Buehler Bros.
az 225 North Neil street, conspicuous
because of several meritorious fea-
lures which we will mention briefly.
First-Buehler Bros. Market an
swers the high cost of living argu-
ment, the gentlemen in charge basing
their hope of profit on the large
volume of business transacted at a
small profit rather than smaller
business at large profit, this making
it possible for all to have meat.
Second-Quality. The Buehler Bros.
Market sells only meat of high quail
ity, behind which they can place their
reputation gained from many years of
service in this business.
Third--Promptness. The Buehlef
Bros. Market employs large force
of competent assistants and your
wants are attended to promptly and
courteously.
The gentlemen in charge of this
market are known as reliable, enter
prising business men with high ideals
and ambitious for their city and it is
with pleasure we include them in this
review of reliable business institu.
tions. We commend them to YOU
continued patronage.
High quality merchandise at the
lowest consistent prices is the rule
of this company, and this fact, Ia
gether with the honorable and up
right business methods. has been tn,
means of attracting attention an,
their present immense patronage.
The gentlemen at the head of thi
firm are numbered among Cham
paign's most public spirited and pro
gressive business men, and they ar
always glad and willing to do all il
their power towards advancing tn
interests of the laboring people.

Martens Cafe is situated in the
business district of the city at 202-4
N. Walnut St. Ii is one of the best
and most accommodating cafes in the
city, in its appointments and methods
of serving the public. Its dining
room is large and elegant, light, airy
and cheerful. This Cafe has a thor
ough sanitary equipment with every
thing neat and Clearly; its table
service is superb, and its bill of fare
uneXcelled for variety, embracing as

The Twin City Review in their In
dustrial Review wishes to make a
brief mention of those business firms
who appreciate the working mans
patronage and we believe that Mar.
tens Cafe fully appreciates the trade
they are securing daily from oul
members.
Everything served in this Cafe is
strictly Home Cooked. Taking all in
all Martens Cafe is in a class OF
It's own. In compiling our Industrial
review for 1924, We take pleasure II
placing before our members the name
OF Martens Cafe, and our only wisf
for them is Success.

TWIN CITIES SAVING &
LOAN ASSOCIATION
$. X. HUGHES, Secretary.
211 North Neil Street.
Champaign, Illinois.

Hundreds of people in Champaign
today own their own homes, who
would still be renters were it not for
the Twin Cities Saving and Loan
Association. This association has been
one of the leading business institu-
tons of Champaign. The office is
located at 21l North Neil street.
In this issue, The Twin City Review
is dealing in facts in connection with
the business institutions of the city,
giving word of praise and encour-
agement to those enterprises which
have made the progress of our city
possible, and certainly no institution
is deserving of more credit than The
Twin Cities Saving and Loan Asso-
citation.
The writer is personally acquainted
with a number of men who by means
of close application and saving habits
were able to purchase a building lei
as first step towards a home. Their
they applied to the Twin Cities Saving
and Loan Association and secured
enough money to build a house, pay
ing back in small monthly install
ments, which amounted to no more
than rent; yet these men today have
their homes paid for and many OF
them are depositing money regularl,
each month with the association, re
ceiving six per cent thereon, pre-
pairing for an old age free from
financial worries. Surely, such an in
stitution is worthy of honest praise.
We strongly advise our members
and readers to thoroughly investi
gate the Twin Cities Saving and LoaI
Association and to avail themselves o
the opportunity to secure home jus
like paying rent. And we're not ad
vising our readers to do something w
have not seen done.

A FULL LINE OF UNION MADE
CLOTHES
l-6 Main Street.
Champaign, Illinois.

The Store That Offers Many Bar
gains To The Working People.
The interest which attaches to the
mention Of the WONDER STORE is
deserving of more than passing at
tention. This store, located at the
above address has become well known
to the laboring people and the public
i'm general throughout this section OF
the state.
Besides the fact that prominence
attaches to the mention of this estab-
hshment on account of its vast and
hourishing business where almost
every article necessary for ones well
fare and convenience may be pur-
chased is also the important consid-
GRAFTON that housed within this bust
ness place are many employees whose
welfare and we'll being has always
received the proper attention from
the management of this firm.
The management has always been
liberal in aiding our cause. Our
members should therefore bear in
mind all of these considerations in
connections with this progressive es-
tablishment, and should at all times
give this store their unstinted patron
age
At this remarkable store you will
find everything for the convenience
and comfort to make shopping u
pleasure, with plenty of courteous and
obliging salespeople to give you
prompt attention, and to see that you
are properly satisfied. Everything
usually carried by high class, ur-
to-date department store may be
found here, all goods being priced so
as to afford saving to the COM
pany's patrons.
High quality merchandise at the
lowest consistent prices is the rule of.
this company, and this fact, together
with the honorable and upright bust
ness methods, has been the means of
attracting attention to their present
immense patronage.
The gentlemen at the head of this
firm are numbered among Cham
paign's most public spirited and pro-
gressive business men and they are
always glad and willing to do all in
their power towards advancing the
interests of the laboring people.

i. Comment and Criticism

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
Reports, very likely spread by foes
of organized labor, that the eo-opera-
tive shop plan on the Baltimore q
Ohio railroad is not working well,
are emphatically denied by Daniel
Willard. president of the railroad.
Speaking of the plan, which was tried
successfully a year in the Glenwood
shops of the railroad and is now in
operation in the other shops Of the
system, Mr.. Willard said:
I'm the six weeks the plan has been
in general operation in the do shops of
the system. it has succeeded beyond
our expectations. Experience has
convinced me that the plan will sue
coed in a large way"
The cooperative plan provides for
recognition of the shipments unions
as essential to the management of the
railroad. and the fullest measure OF
cooperation. between workers and
management in the operation of the
shops. The Baltimore &'Ohio is find
ing that the plan is giving general
satisfaction and is demonstrating the
truth that it pays employers to work
in harmony with organized labor.
Italy's recent election, with its
Faseisiti sweep, can hardly be re-
garded as an expression of the will
of the italian people, as it was held
under an electoral law especially de-
signed TO assure victory for the Fas-
cisti party. The entire country was
declared a single election district and
the Fascist list had only to receive
onesqtarter of the total number Of
votes to become entitled to three
fourths of all the seats.
This is hardly an example of ma
jority rule, as it is known in the
democratic nations and with the cleo
ton machinery in the hands of the
Fascist, coupled with their well
known record of brutal intimidation,
there could be little doubt of the re-
suit of the election" Apparently
the only reason the Fascist held the
election" was to give Premier Mus
solini and his dictatorship the. out
ward aspect of censtitutionality.

No matter what size a town is,
the lumber business forms a large
part of the commercial endeavor, as
each place has its certain amount of
building, etc. The larger cities,
though, are depended upon to furnish
the lumber yards with supplies in
surrounding territory.
The Home Lumber Company, oper-
ating the lumber yards at the above
address, is a place of business endeav-
or that we are proud Of possessing in
our city. This company has been
supplying many firms with their pro-
ducts in the surrounding territory for
many years, during which time they
have forged to the front, bearing a
name and reputation that comes
through honest and conscientious en-
deavor.
Messrs. II. f. Wiese, C. T. Henson
and X. f. Block, the gentlemen at
the head of this firm are prominent
Champaign citizens. The daily routine
of business necessitates a force of
competent employees and they are for
tunate in possessing the best help to
be had, paying the best wages, and
affording good working conditions
They have every necessary facility
for the prompt and accurate handling
of their trade, and make special
feature of quick motor truck deliver
les that contractors are sure to ap-
preciate.
Past dealings with the above COM
pany have proved satisfactory in
every way, showing them to be broad
minded and high principled in all
things pertaining to the labor ques-
ton, and we take this opportunity to
show our appreciation by placing
them at the head of our list in the
Industrial Review of Champaign and
wishing for them continuation of
prosperity and success.
