PARK & SHOP
GROCERY

How a new dress, hat, suit or shoes
sort of stimulate a person, not that
they are particular vain or think too
much of how they are dressed, but
there is psychological effect from
the wearing of something different
which seems to inspire one to greater
efforts and stimulate ambition. So,
when a new store opens up in the city,
people are all alert and curious TO
know just what the proprietor looks
like, how much family has he and
where he is going to live and where
he came from, and so forth and so on.
Then, the next step is to visit the store
and inspect the stock and of course,
the housewives are here seeming bar
gains. A new broom sweeps clean
and it is easier to sweep with a new
broom, because it is more effective.
Park & Shop Grocery, located at
314 North Hickory Street, Champaign,
Illinois, have made quite stir in our
city and have a neat, nifty, clean
stock of goods, that delight the ever
increasing list of customers. The
shelves fairly shine with bright, at
tractive canned goods and their fancy
and staple groceries have come up to
the highest expectations of the peo-
pie. These people are here to stay
with US and make this their home, and
are we'll versed in the labor question,
and extend hearty invitation to all
members to visit their store and see
for themselves what they have to
offer.
The Twin City Review bespeaks for
this new store their share of patron
age, in this 1925 Business Review.

r. {. WAGNER & son
TRANSFER

II there Is any sort of business that
Champaign Is not favored with Se
nave yet to discover what it Is. We
have all the advantages Of living in a
quiet little city, where no big strikes
or commotion ever break out, and al
the same time have the privileges u
purchasing anything that could be
gotten in a large metropolis, and have
access to all such places in the most
convenient ways. Suppose We want
20 move, or have some article de-
liyered elsewhere. just phone and the
truck is there; if you desire furniture
stored for any length Of time, you do
the same thing; if you need fuel, coal
or wood, it is right to your hand, all
because enterprising business men
have made this condition possible.
X. c. Wagner d Son, located IN
the Wapner Building, Champaign,
illinois, do large transfer business;
people have learned that goods moved
by them will receive the most careful
attention and care. They have an
immense storage house for the con-
venienee of those desiring this service.
Many homes, offices, buildings,
ehufchs, school houses have been COM
fortably warmed and kept so by coal
ordered from this company. If you
want nice clean wood, all ready for
use, they have it. Prompt delivery Is
their habit.
The Twin City Review would call
the attention of members of our
Unions to this worthy firm, and
patronise same to the best of THEN
ability; we wish them success in this
our 1925 Business Review.

COAL

Every proprietor of apartments,
owner of home building, office,
church, school house, etc, are very
much interested in the coal business.
OF necessity they are compelled to
be as we do not live down in the
warm countries of the South or in
California. and to be provided with
coal means more than being supplied
with groceries or clothing; they can
be procured as we need them; but 20
be caught in zero weather without any
coal, means sickness, if not worse,
and remember, that while it breaks
nur heart and flattens our pocket
books to have to nay the high prices
asked for this commodity, that doc
tors bills, druggists expenses and
nurses will eat it up ten times as fast
as does coal; besides, a house kept at
comfortable, even heat will insure
the health of the family, and no risk
is run, where if you neglect the
purchasing of coal, no telling what
will happen.
Jos. S. Bash & Son, located at ga
S. 9th Street, with ward office at |. C.
X. X. and Logan Street. Champaign,
Illinois will be glad to receive your
order for next winters supply, and
thereby avoid delay in delivering
promptly when the calls come in as
fast as the telephone can work. Bet
ter be forehanded than emptyhanded.
The Twin City Review takes this
OPPORTUNITY to urge our members and
readers to patronize this worthy coal
company in this 1925 Business Re
view.

GEHRKE'S ILLINOIS
BAKERY

Prejudices and old-established Gus
toms are fast dissolving and the old
idea that every housekeeper should
bake the bread. pies and cakes for
the family, which added a terrible
burden to her other duties, is a thing
of the past. In fact, it was thought
not to be wholesome or good for the
family to eat bakers bread.'
Gehrke's Illinois Bakery, located at
POT K. Clark Street, Champaign,
Illinois, can beat any housewife that
ever cooked a meal, when it comes TO
baking good, wholesome bread. delic-
ious pies and cakes. ETC., because they
have every equipment and facility and
convenience and devote their time to
that alone, while the average worker
In the home has to keep the house in
order, do the laundry and a number of
other things. And the baker would
be hard put, were he required to wash
windows, clean carpets, ETC., in con-
nection with his baking. Give US good
bakers products every time, not only
Tor the immense amount of work il
saves, but they are baked fresh every
day, and when you count the time,
material, fuel, and labor, it is not a
saving to have this work done at
home. This Bakery manufactures
Cream of Wheat Bread, Betsy Ross
Bread, Holsum Bread, and if you have
a social affair soon, just order your
cakes here, and you will have a repu-
tatlon for being an ideal entertainer.
The members Of our Unions make a
mistake by not patronizing this bak-
cry, and same should have the
patronage of all.
The Twin City Review accords all
honor to this Bakery, in this 1925
Business Review.

man takes this worthless rubbish of
our hands, where in some mysterious
manner it Is made into paper and
other things.
Champaign Junk Company, located
at 304 Market Street, Champaign,
Illinois, are wholesalers in metals,
rags, rubber. iron, and specialize in
Hides, Fur and Wool. They pay the
highest prices for this kind Of stuff,
and we should be so thankful that
they take this junk off our hands that
we would want to pay them, but IN
stead they remunerate you for this
undesirable lot of trash. They have
always shown a broad spirit toward
organized labor, and in turn We should
fill their shop full of our accumulated
stuff which would work a good turn
both ways. Such important concerns
deserve our loyalty and support, and
a picture of our yards full with the
discarded things in our homes, would
make a neat person weep oceans OF
tears.
The Twin City Review gladly men
tions this concern in this 1925 Busl-
ness Review.

SWERINSKY BROS.
CLOTHIERS, SHOES, HABER-
DASHERS, FURNISHERS

In the Spring of the year, our
thoughts naturally gravitated toward
clothing, and we instinctively have
the desire to keep pace with the
beauties of Nature and doll up. Well,
when you start in, just remember,
gentlemen, that you don't have TO
consume a lot of time by going to this
store and that store, but simply make
short cut to a place where every
thing in the way of mems apparel can
be purchased.
Swefinsky Brothers, located in the
finest eff quarters at ~ E. Univer-
sity Avenue, Champaign, Illinois, have
a full line of clothing, shoes, haber
dashery goods and all kinds of mems
furnishings. You can make your selec-
ton from their large stock and you
will look like you just arrived from
New York or Chicago, dressed in the
most fashionably fashioned clothing.
If you don't feel satisfied with your
purchases at this store, and you have
any reason at all to complain, your
money is refunded. They guarantee
Quality, Value and Service, and
stand back of this guarantee to the
last letter. If you see nicely dressed
men, with stylish hats, nobby clothing,
fine shoes, the chances are ten to one
that he was a wise guy and bought
same at Swerinsky Brothers where
only the very latest styles and best
materials are found.
The Twin City Review is gratifed
to place this concern before our
readers and urge that our members
patronize store so exclusive and
reasonably priced, in this our 1925
Business Review.

the sad mistake of hiring persons 10

not had advantage of business train
The trained worker has a great adj
vantage over the unframed. and the
first question asked any applicant for

take, etc, and so on, well knowing
that the Young man or woman who
has endeavored to fit themselves for
positions of worth and merit are 20

MODEL LAUNDRY

of it! Why that is less than 1t pays
to ge. up the washtubs and use the
soap, to say nothing of the arduous
labor required for such work. Then,
ii heats the house all up and steam
gets all over the place until 1t seems
like a laundry itself. Clean linen
and clothing are absolutely indispen-
sable and necessary and what we
would do without these public advan-
tages we do not know. 1t comes 10
the point of running all around try
ing to get a washwoman, and very
few who make that a business know
how to do it well. Washday Is and
always has been a bugbear in every

prosperity, in this 1925 Business Re-

PATTENGALE BROS.
COAL AND FEED OF ALL KINDS

1t is one noticeable, unfortunate
trait of the people as whole to
never plan or make reservations for
something absolutely needful, until
the necessity for same arises, and
then we are often put to dire straits
and discommode Others to no little
extent, to have our necessities sup
piled. This applies largely to the coal
business. The poor coal merchant Is
a much harassed man. Nobody pays
much attention to him in the summer
time, when the heat pourS its rays
down on the heads of people, but let
the first cold, chilly weather strike US,
and we hike to the phone; of course,
we want our coal AT ONCE, forget
ting that other mortals are In the
same fix. Yet, in some miraculous
manner, he, being an expert judge
of human nature and a good business
manager, is not sued for people freez-
inc to death, but hustles out the coal
wagons in jiffy. The same way
with feeds. the poor stock and chick
ems get the last grain before the own
er discovers that he is completely
out, and then there is scramble to
keep life in these fowls and cattle.
Pattengale Brothers, located at Cor
FER of Water Street and University
Avenue, handle all grades of coal,
soft and anthracite, and the feed that
makes the hen lay and puts the stock
in the best of condition. Remember
this place when you are in need of
these commodities. The Unions are
grateful for the support always ac-
corded them by this concern.
The Twin City Review expresses the
wish of all in commenting this firm in
our 1925 Business Review.

TREVETT-MATTIS
BANKING COMPANY

The word "bank" always suggests
something great and magnificent in a
money sense, and we Immediately
have an idea and picture of great
masses of money, running into the
billions and that every banker is a
favored individual who has money to
burn, in unlimited uantities; and the
men behind the glass case, ever since
we were children, have all the money
they wanted--just by picking it up.
How our ideas and impressions OF
banks have changed, and we know
now, by actual experience, that bank
is established for the people, and Is
one institution that no village, ham
let, town or city can do without.
Through the channels of a bank are
some of the greatest transactions, ana
not only is it safe place for the rich
man and the poor man to deposit
their money, but keeps books straight
er than any bookkeeper ever did.
The Trevett- MATHS Banking Conf
pany, located at l12 West Church ST.,
Champaign, Illinois, is a business in
stitution, place we are justly proud
of, with a capital and surplus of $780,
10000, is amply financed to take care
of Champaign, and we always point

ers are visiting here. X. II. MATHS,

J. II. Trevett, Second Vice Pres; W.

Rogers, secretary; Mr.. l.. f. Tiley,

head of our financial world is but
mildly expressing it. The Twin City
Review urges and recommends that all
Unions make this their banking home.

f. G.. CAMPBELL & SON
LOANS, REAL ESTATE AND
INSURANCE.

1t is said the overly cautious per-
son is never protected. He is so
prudent and careful that he takes a
lifetime to consider whether it is a
wise thing to insure his house, or in
sure against theft, sickness and death.
If he has real estate TO sell, he takes
his time from his work and then does
not succeed in disposing of it; he lets
a good chance slip by, fearful of ask
ing for loan to tide him over. But
the fellow the world admires is the
one who protects his family by TAX
ing out a nice sized policy on his
home and life, and in this regard he
is wise to see the sense and use OF
insurance in other lines. He don't
bubble about paying the real estate
man a commission for selling his
-roperty, and by investing in safe
projects is soon enabled to live on
easy street.
F. G. Campbell & Son, located in
Commercial Bank blu ilding, Cham
paign, Illinois, are hustlers in the real
estate and insurance business, and
they are identified with some of the
old best line companies in the coun-
try. Insurance as an investment
pays big returns, and a wise man
takes advantage of the proposition
they offer. Real estate is on the boom
because these men are agents in some
big deals, and have the value of every
piece of real estate at their fingers
ends. You make no mistake in letting
them handle this work for you; in
case you wish a loan, you will find
they are your friends, and will put
you on your feet. Union men know
this company for the many courtesies
extended them, and they have written
lots of business for our working peo-
pie. giving them the finest protection
possible to have. The Twin City Re-
view endorses and recommends this
concern to every member, in this 1925
Business Review.
