FIFTY YEARS PROGRESS
Being Celebrated in Golden Jubilee By Strauss Clothing
and Shoe Company, Cutting Of Monster Birth
day Cake and Other Features Planned

Fifty years is a long time. To
some of us who have been here on
earth and enjoying all the blessings
Of life, fifty years seem to be but a
short time But fifty years of prog
ress in business of any kind is in
deed an achievement that few of US
attain and enjoy But such is the
achievement the Strauss Clothing and
Shoe Company is now celebrating over
in the golden jubilee started Wednes-
day of this week.
But why is it the Strauss stores
are permitted to reach such wonder
full achievement of fifty years of
steady progress when so many other
firms fail in such distinction, you
ask? Because of the fair and honest
dealings with all throughout this long
stretch of years. That is the an
swer, plain and simple
Little did Meyer Strauss, founder
of the Strauss stores, think, when he
opened the little modest store within
few feet of the present store, that
in fifty years the concern would be
celebrating it's golden jubilee in the
handsome big store in the spacious
building it now occupies. He would
have had to had wondeful vision to
even dream 50.
The Strauss stores have always had
a wonderful attraction for the work
ingman The workingman could al
ways feel when entering the Strauss
store, whether in dirty shop clothes
with face black from toll or dressed
up, that ne would get the same at
tention as the banker, business or

Indianapolis, Ind.-More than
$50 colored mail carriers out of
the Indianapolis postoffice met in
an Indignation meeting at the
offices of the Independent Voters
League, following a threat made
by Charles Brown, local colored
politician associated with the
Marion county republicans, that
unless they "got right on the re-
publican ticket their jobs would
be in danger"
Ed Jackson, republican nomi-
nee for governor, was nominated
by the Ku Klux Klan. Many of
the colored mail carriers, all of
whom are under the civil service,
are reported to be going to vote
for La Toilette and Wheeler, and
these reports have stirred local
politicians to get busy.
Brown had list of names
said to have been supplied from
the federal building.

The Strauss stores have always
been very friendly to organized labor,
always ready to meet it's demands
and requests more than half way.
When the Clerks Union committee
met with the merchants committee to
request that the stores of Hamilton
close on Christmas eve the same time
as other nights, it was Max Strauss
who was the first to say, 81 am
heartily in favor of that. | believe
that every workingman would rather
be with his family on that night than
any other night in the year, And
so with every other reasonable re-
quest that labor has ever made, the
Strauss stores were more than agree
able. That is why the workingman
has always had warm spot in his
heart for the Strauss stores.
1t is fact that when the local
Retail Clerks Union was organized
thirty years ago the Strauss clerks
made up large majority of its char
ter members, several of whom are
still in the company's employ Among
them Lou Saurer and James Welsh.
Others have been in the company's
employ twenty, fifteen and ten years.
This certainly speaks we'll for the
ideal working conditions under which
the stores are conducted. No clerk
ever leaves the stores employ with
out a good word for the company
A feature of the celebration now
being conducted will be the cutting
of mammoth birthday cake. The
