Coal Dealers Battle in Court Over The Present and Past Prices of Fuel| The H. C. of K. W. (high cost of keeping warm), or how much is the| difference between coal prices now | and last summer, is to be determined | by the district court; at least, a plain- tiff has filed a petition with the clerk in which he asks to have the question settled. David Gerber deals in coal. He has a number of regular customers whom he supplies with the commodity taken from the bowels of the earth which has come to be regarded as in the same class with diamonds, rubies and precious stones. Ezra Sidman is also a coal man, his THE OMAHA yards being located at 519 South Thir- tenth street. Sidman is more of a wholesaler. According to Gerber's petition he contracted for 1,500 tons of coal, for future delivery, at $4.15 and $4.75 a || ton. It is al?::ged that the contract |} was made June 14. i Now Gerber claims that Sidman de- livered only 425 of the 1,500 tons or- dered. Gerber complains that he is || unable to supply his customers and as || a result should be recompensed to the amount of $4,225, many, many tons of | the black stuff that burns. The plain- tiff explains that coal of the same grade as was contracted for last sum- mer is now selling for $6 and $7 a ton.

In Return for Favors, Will Render an Exceedingly Prompt “Thanksgiving” Cleaning Service. Of course, Thanksgiving day re- wards wil Inot be thrust upon those who will not make proper efforts to deserve them. Dresher Brothers, the Dry Cleaners and Dyers, at 2211-2217 Farnam street, have been accord- ed a brimming-over success be- cause of the numerous years of study and effort they have put into the business. Just think: Dreshers’ plant has gotten to the point where 100 em- ployees are necessary (exclusive of the force at Dresher The Tailors, 1515 Farnam street). And nine automobiles are required to de- liver the clothes that are put in order for Omahans each and every working day. Then, too, Dreshers have those busy branch offices at the Bran- deis Stores, at the Burgess-Nash Co.’s, and at the Harney street of- fice directly in the rear of the Dresher plant. Add to this the thousands of packages that are re- ceived right along from all parts of America. Dreshers pay express or parcel post charges one way on any sized shipment, and for that reason have been accorded a mail order patronage second to none in the land, The Dresher plant today repre- gents an investment of $1560,000, but it has taken eighteen years of study and six years of actual prac- tice to bring this immense indus- try about. Now, then, in order to show an appreciation of this success, Dresh- ers feature the ‘“Service, Not Self,” idea. Dreshers will call for your work any time Monday and agree to have the clothes back to you, in superb condition, by Wednesday evening in ‘flenty of time for Thanksgiving day wear, Just phone Tyler 345 for a Dresh- er Auto and the Dresher workers will do the rest. As repeatedly told you, Dresh- ers will do much towards reducing the H. C. 0. L. for you (High Cost of Living). For a modest sum Dreshers will place your last sea- son's garments into a spick and span condition, plenty good enough and plenty stylish enough for this season’s wear. Run this all through 5yam‘ mind ~—Then phone Tyler 345. given as the cause for the advance. DO YOU GET UP WITH A LAME BACK? Have You Rheumatism, Kidney, Liver or Blad- | de_r Trouble?
