LEMCKE SHOP
PROVIDES CITY
VALET SERVICE
Attention Given to Details in
Fine Repairing and
Cleaning Work.

Attention to the smallest details
is given as the reason for the re-
markable growth of the Lemcke
Service Shop, Lemcke building,
108-11O East Market street, by its
owner, Louis C. Speropoulous.
Starting in 1923 with one room, the
shop has grown to one of the larg-
est in the middle west. giving COM
plete valet service in every detail.
New soles are given to worm
out shoes, renewing their life and
giving them a look of newness that
makes them good for many months.
Women's and mems shoes are dyed
any color. This is particularly true
of womens slippers, for to be in
the mode, footwear must match the
frock
Particular care is given to this
to insure a perfect match that will
retain tie original smartnesS of
/ the footwear. Fifteen shine boys
always are on the job to keep foot
wear at its best and private sec
ton is set aside for the use of
ladies. Shoes are also repaired
while the customer waits,
New Equipment Used
William Speropoulos, a partner in
the business, who is in charge Of
the hat cleaning department, is
factory trained and the method
used for cleaning both mems and
women'S hats is the same as is
used in large hat factories. New
electrical devices have been in
stalled to insure a uniformity of
cleaning and blocking. Especially
is this true of fine felts and Pan
amas where unusual care must be
exercised to make a perfect re-
neWal
Mems and womens suits, dresses
and coats are dry cleaned in mod
ern factory, and when they are re-
turned the spots and soiled places
have disappeared and the garments
| look like new. Neither is there that
odor of cleaning fluid which is pres
ent so often in the cheaper jobs of
cleaning.
Minor Repairs Free
Minor repairs are made free Of
charge and there is competent
corps of experienced tailors ready
to do the larger work OF refining,
altering and repairing.
Service is the keynote of the
Lemcke Service Shop and the Gus
toner must be thoroughly pleased.
Hats, shoes and clothing are called
for and delivered any place in the
downtown district

WRAPPING OF CHRISTMAS
GIFTS SPEEDED UP

A saving of 20 per cent was only one
of the advantages gained by Hale Bros,
Sacramento, Calf, through the install
1ation Of a central gift-wrapping desk
last Christmas. The IL wrapping desks
which were formerly scattered about the
floor were concentrated in /, where
20 girls were employed to handle all the
details connected with the work.
Not only was this real saving of
space" points out S. M. Keene, super
1ntendent of the Hale Bros. store, "but
OF personnel as well, since no messen-
gers are needed to carry gifts to the
desk because each customer brings hers
in person. Also, we do not have the
complaints that we used to get when
customers stood around the smaller
counters and could not be sure that
some one else was not being cared for
out OF turn. Boys at big central desk
upstairs wrap parcels for mailing. so
that the whole operation of dispatching
gifts may be accomplished with one, in
stead Of many, waits. The central gift
wrap desk adjoins the millinery depart
nnent, where business is normally below
the average during the holiday season,
and We found that. taking all things
into consideration, the use of this plan
saved us full 20 per cent"

point average advance in is representa-
tive railroad stocks from the low level
OF the month, with most of this taking
place during the past week, Is the first
encouraging sign that has come into the
credit situation Of the carriers since the
public began to discriminate against
them on the basis of poor earnings and
an unpromiSing outlook owing to in
creased competition with other trans
pOrtatiOn agencies.
In this advance such individual gains
have been made as 16 points in Atcht-
son, IL in Atlantic Coast Line and
Baltimore & Ohio, 6 In Chesapeake &
Ohio, Is in Delaware & Hudson, 8 in
Lackawanna, Z in Erie, in Great
Northern, IS in Lehigh Valley, IL in
New York Central, in Pennsylvania
& Reading, IL in Southern Pacific, 20
In Union Pacific and s points In
Wabash common.
The SwiftneSS and size Of the advance
led to some proflt-taking today and a
Change in Sentiment.
There are number of new influences
that have effected the change in Senti-
ment toward rail stocks Among them
has been the realization that this group
was Sell1ng on the nlgneSC income oasis
In years, with stocks whose dividends
appear to be assured for q considerable
period quoted from to a 912 per
cent return. Another is the develop
ment of q new attitude on the part of
railroad arrangements toward meeting
unfair rate legislation and competition,
rather than submitting to both, as has
been the practice of the past.
More concrete and immediate influ-
enceS are those having to do with the
conferences Of the Eastern railroad
executives, which are expected to pro-
duce q plan Of consolidation in the
trunk line territory agreeable to the
four leading Eastern lines and also to
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
Still another Is the application which
Western roads expect to make to the
Interstate Commerce Commission for q
horizontal increase in their freight
rates. It is believed there is a fair
chance that this will meet with sympa-
thetic attention from the commission,
which has already noted in an official
way the decline in the earnings on the
property investment Of many of the
roads In the Western territory.
Change In Law Hinted.
Stocks Of some Of the carriers that
annually show q high rate Of return
have benefitAd by the intimations that
the ''recapture" clause Of the transpor-
tatinn act VIII DO repealed.

favoring the railroad stock group is the

that they are now comparing with a

peller. An air-cooled auxiliary no.
tor provides power to rotate the cy-
finders which take the place Of
wings.
Two rotors are on each side OF
the craft. An outraged rudder is
