BEARDSLEY HOTEL

Every city is judged, more or less,
bv the number and quality Of its
hotels, and travellers and tourists are
becoming wiser about this question
all the time. They have learned to
dodge the place that offers poor hotel
service and maneuver around to make
the cities with hotels that are up-to-
date and alert in service to the tourist
Beardsley Hotel is credit to our
city, and every guest that enters its
doors are loud in their a"aroval of its
wonderful uplto-the- minute service.
1t is known from coast to coast as be-
ing Illinois leading, medium priced
hotel, which cuts a figure these days
with most of the travelling public,
when the whole country feels the
business depression and conditions.
That they have learned thoroughly
the art of administering to the wants
eff their patrons in an unobruslve man
ner and making every one within its
walls to feel the comfortable, friendly
atmosphere which has been cultivated
in great degree and impressed up
on their employees, is very obvious.
Champaign is proud of this home
like accommodating house, and they
have reason to wish for its unbound
ed success, as such contributes in no
small measure to the prosperity and
of the city. Its loca
tons is all that is to be desired, be-
ing very convenient, right in the heart
of the city and handy to all points
of interest to the public. The ar
of their SLEEPING rooms is
admirable, and the manager, Mr.. j. c.
Lewis has no superior in experience
and adaptation and knowledge of the
needs of those who make it neces-
sary to patronize hotels. Delegates
of various Unions, during the 1925
State Convention will make this hotel
their headquarters, and are assured
of every convenience and comfort
possible to show them.

then the waiter after an interminable
length of time came carrying our
food and we had forgotten what we'd
ordered, and naturally ate too much
by reason of the long, tedious wait.

into high class cafe, and if you feel
out of sorts and not much relish for
food, one glance at that long array

only possible fault we have to find
with such cafes is that you kon't know

BULLOCK BROTHERS
PHARMACY

When we glide along in this life
without any serious troubles, and our
meals are nicely prepared and served,
and we have no need OF the SERVICES
of a drug store, we scarcely give 1t
thought. But in the midnight hours,
the baby or some member of the fam
lily are suddenly seized with some
acute ailment, then how our thoughts
fly to the aid offered US by these
places of business.
The Bullock Brothers, located at
the corner of University Avenue, OPP
posite the Interurban Station, Cham
paign, Illinois, operate a first class
establishment, such as is in constant
demand by he public. Particular
care and attention is given to the
dispensing of drugs, and all prescrip-
tions compounded here are filled by a
registered pharmacist. If you have
need in case of emergency, Of medl-
cines, they will deliver same quickly
to your home. A nice line of candies,
toilet articles, cigars and the finest
tasting sodas and ice cream kept
constantly on hand. This is a de-
lightful place to take friend and
show him the glories of this concern
and treat him to refreshing drink,
that will make him your friend for
life. Champaign has reason to be
proud of its many business houses,
and especially those favorable to the
Unions as are Bullock Brothers

occasioned by these atoms. Suffice
it to say that if we don't receive
these awful things in our system. we

good, vigorous shake, and see the
effect it will have-why the dust flies

VRINER'S
CONFECTIONERY

In these modern days, one does not
have TO hunt around to find dainty
lunches, fine candies, ETC., but these
convenient business places should be
largely patronized by the public, as
they are an acquisition to any city;
now, instead of having to go to
hotel, with its necessary expensive
accommodations, We can drop into
neat little place and be satisfied ami
served to our hearts content. Inc
candy business has grown to sueh
proportions, and the expert candy
maker offers to the public so many
varieties of the most elegant con-
fecions, of hundreds of different
shapes, flavors, ETC., that We wonder
what next they will have new to eN'
hibit and sell.
Vriners Confectionery, located at
90 Main Street, Champaign, Illinois,
operated and run by Angel Samafa'
d Company, serves the neatest, Noes,
hot lunches, famous matted milk anu
the confectionery of the finest grace
in the city. This concern Is large!
patronized by members of Unions WHO
do not have time TO go home at Moons
and others who like an up-to-daJe not
lunch, etc., for the reason they nave
long been the friend of labor. ..
The Twin City Review takes ih-5I
opportunity to call the attention OF all
Champaignites to this confecioreil'
