HON. FRANK OLIVER.
There are a number or aoie prac
titioners in the legal profession of
Savannah. There is none, however,
who stands higher in the confidence
of our people than does Hon. Frank
Oliver, who stands pre-eminent In tne
profession in the city and State. It
is decidedly appropriate that we place
his name foremost on the list. **is
entire career of usefulness in public
life has been marked by brilliant ser
vice, by conspicuous ability and un
questioned integrity. His record has
been marked and active and success
ful service, in all of which he reflected
honor and credit upon the legal pro
fession.
Hon. Frank Oliver is a lawyer of
the broad gauged variety; the kind
that he has always adhered strictly to
confidence on the part of the people.
In his practice, it is worthy, of note
that has always adhered strictly to
the rules of fair play, and uu conse
quently ingratiated himself into the
esteem and confidence of the people
as a hole, including especially the
thousands ot wage-earners who con
stitute the bulk of the population.
Labor’s official organ is pleased to ex
tend to him hearty greetings and as
surance of continued esteem anl con
fidence.
THE 0. K. OUTFITTERS.
Among the many worthy concerns in
Savannah engaged in the general
clothing business, none are more
worthy of special mention in tu.s eui
tion than The O. K. Outfitters, whose
place of business is where your dol
lar does double duty, and where you
will find everything to supply your
needs at the most reasonable prices to
be found in the city. This firm carries
in stock complete lines of everything
handled by an up-to-date clotning
store. The business is under the man
agement of an able and experienced
man, who looks closely after the buy
ing and is always on the alert for
special bargains to offer customers.
We are pleased to state that this
firm has always shown a kindly feel
ing for the laboring man, and we take
pleasure in speaking a word of praise
for this store, as we feel that our peo
ple cannot do better than to trade whu
The 0. K. Outfitters at 115 Whitaker
street. They are known as Georgia’s
greatest credit clothing center for men
and women. ‘
HON. WM. R. LEAKEN
Collector of Customs.
Organized labor believes thoroughly
in according all due credit to our
Federal and State officials who by
able and efficient service, especially
deserve the esteem and confidence of
the public. It is our purpose in this
edition to point out a number of men,
high up in public life who have more
than made good. Conspicuous among
them is Hon. Wm. R. Leaken, Col
lector of Customs. We have followed
bis career in office as assistant United
Stntes attorney and special assistant
to Attorney General with critical at
tention and we have never failed to
find him other than the consistent
friend of the working people in every
emergency that has arisen during his
entire public career. We are pleased
to state that his administration of the
Custom House has from the start been
most highly commendable. We feel
that he honors the position he boldw
and should receive the hearty appro
bation of all good citizens who have
the welfare and best interests of the
public at heart. President Taft made
no mistake in the appointment of
Williamß.Leaken to theCollectorshlp
of the Port of Savannah.
PEOPLES SAVINGS AND LOAN
COMPANY.
22 Congress Street, West.
This stable institution wheels in line
with its usual Christmas present of
three dollars per share to its stock
holders, as a semi-annual dividend.
This can be expected as surely as
Christmas and the Fourth of July
come around.
This company not only makes its
dividend of six dollars per share an
nually, but keeps on adding to its
Reserve Fund, which now exceeds
twenty-five thousand dollars. This
on a capital of 9120,000.00 is a fine
showing. This means that if the busi
ness of the company should be wound
up, for every one hundred dollars paid
in on each share the stockholders
would receive one hundred and twenty
five dollars.
The affairs of this company are ex
amined into minutely twice a year by
the State Bank Examiners, and the
statement is made that there is not a
doubtful debt on their books, which is
very flattering to the Directors, and
must be very satisfactory to the stock
holders.
This company has been an important
factor in building up the city and in
assisting persons to get homes.
It bandies Savannah money and will
not make a loan outside of Chatham
county.
Every borrower is an advertiser of
the business-like methods, and fair
treatment they receive.
The Peoples Savings and Loan Com
pany hold the remarkable record of
not having made a loss on any loan
made by them since the president, C.
H. Dorsett, has occupied that office,
which covers a period of seventeen
years.
Another remarkable fact connected
with its history, one that all lenders
on real estate will appreciate, is that
they have but one piece of real estate
on their books, which was foreclosed
upon. This with one small piece pur
chased as an investment by the former
administration, both pieces represent
ing about $7,000.00, is the entire real
estate holdings.
No other company lending on real
estate, in this city, can show such a
record.
This company operates a savings
department, which has a large patron-
The Labor Herald
age among the working people of the
city.
Their deposits are subject to check
at any time, and interest is paid on
same four times a year, at the rate of
four per cent, per annum.
Where a specific amount is deposit
ed for a given time, five per cent, per
annum is paid.
This company is doing a great work
among the people of this city in en
couraging them to save, ana in help
ing them to get homes on easy terms.
THE HILTON & DODGE LUMBER
COMPANY.
Savannah is especially proud of
another great enterprise that adds ma
terially to her prestige and prominence
as a manufacturing center, possessing
in her midst one of the largest lumber
concerns in the entire South. This
great concern is one of the largest and
one of the fairest employers of labor
in this section of the country. In
handling an output of ninety million
feet per year they give employment to
1,200 men.
The Hilton & Dodge Lumber Com
pauy is a credit to Savannah and is
deserving of a foremost position in
any estimate of the strength of thecity
in a commercial and industrial way.
The management is of that broad
gauged character that knows how to
conduct an immense business in a
most practical and harmonious fash
ion. In all the history of itscareerof
usefulness this company has shown a
disposition to be fair and reasonable
in its attitude toward labor, and has
by able and efficient management built
up a business with a national reputa
tion, The company is held in high
esteem and confidence, not only by
their own large force of employes, to
whom is accorded fair wages and con
siderate treatment, but also by the
thousands of wage earners in this sec
tion, who look upon The Hilton &
Dodge Lumber Company as one of
the most public-spirited and well
managed business institutions in Sav
annah. They operate six mills con
tinuously. They are located in Sav
annah, Belfast, Brunswick, Darien
and Satilla, Ga. The company is
known for its emidently fair and con
servative attitude in all matters per
taining to labor, and is a credit to
the City of Savannah.
ADAMS & HULL.
In reviewing the many worthy enter
prises that have lent valuable assist
ance to the upbuilding of Savannah,
we are forcibly reminded of the wide
awake real estate business conducted
by Adams & Hull.
This firm is thoroughly imbued with
Savannah spirit, and knows the real
estate situation from A to Z.
Oftentimes we wish to place our sav
ings in a piece of real estate and in
doing so it behoves us to consult with
those wh i have made a business of
dandling real know all the
in and outs of the business.
The object of this notice is to call
attention to the above firm, whose
knowledge and reliability stand high
in Savannah. Their broad-minded
and public-spirited manner of dealing
brought to this firm a business
that is second to none in the city, and
clever, straighsforward dealings have
made the firm exceedingly popular
among all classes of people. This
concern has always shown a friendly
feeling for the working mao, and have
proven themselves friends of all con
servative labor movements.
This firm does a general real estate
business in the Provident building at
10 Drayton St. They are also auction
eers and make loans at the lowest
rates of interest. The firm consists of
W. J, B. Adams and R. M. Hull.
HARDEN & ROURK
Among the substantial enterprises
in Savannah is the firm of Harden &
Rourk. Thia well known and reliable
hay, grain and feed concern has been
serving the people of this section for
some time and are better equipped to
day than ever before.
On short notice they are prepared to
handle anything in their line anywhere.
With large and commodious quarters,
118 Bay Street, West, and a perfect
system of handling all orders placed
with them, makes this a most desirable
firm to patronize.
The firm of Harden & Rourk is one
of Savannah’s best known business
concerns, and by their able and busi
ness-like manner have made many
friends among all classes. This firm
has always shown a friendly feeling
for the working man, and its attitude
toward conservative labor movements
has been all that could be desired.
The official organ of labor takes pride
in calling the attention of the host of
wage-earners to this reliable concern.
They are sole distributors of Corno
horse and mule feed-and also make a
specialty of H. & R. prepared cow feed.
H. S. MEINHARD <fc BRO.
Among Savannah concerns doing a
large busiuess no hesitancy is felt in
pointing out H. S. Meinbard & Bro.,
as being among the most reliable pro
gressive and popular in the South.
It is officered by gentlemen of high
standing in the business life of Geur
From the date of its inception thia
firm has maintained a large force oi
traveling salesmen on the road in this
section, and their constant increase in
volume of business is a criterion that
the goods carried by the firm, together
with themethods of business employed,
is such as to meet with approval from
the trade.

its onward march of commercial pro
gress as extensive manufacturers of
clothing having been established a
□umber of years. Through all these
years the firm has kept pace constant
ly with tt>e growth of Savannah, and

most reliable and trustworthy enter
prises. The firm is composed of Henry
S- and Irving F. Meinbard. They

brand of clothing.
MENDEL REAL ESTATE AND
INVESTMENT CO.
No concern in Savannah is more
deserving of creditable mention in
this issue tha* the Mendel Real Estate
and Investment Co.
The reputation of this splendid con
cern has not sprung up in a day, but
it is the natural and legitimate out
come of patience and perseverance,
steadily devoted to the accomplish
ment of a business object, wherein
service and reliable dealings count
for so much. The gentleman at the
head of this meritorious enterprise is a
leader in Savannah business circles
and is a man ofmostsubstantial worth;
is broad-minded and public-spirited,
and to his enterprising business abil
ity, strict integrity and courteous
treatment of the trade can much of the
splendid success of the company be
attributed. We have no hesitancy in

PRINTERS’ MORTUARY BENEFIT
TO BE VOTED ON NEXT FEBRU
YAR
The International Typographical
Union next February will take a
special referendum vote on the prop
osition of establishing a mortuary
of the international. As outlined at
the convention the plan provides for
the following payments.
“On the death of each member in
good standing a death benefit shall
be paid to the designated beneficiary
in amount as follows: For a mem
bership of one year or less, $75; for
a continuous membership of more than
one year and not more than five
years, $125; for a continuous member
ship of more than five years, $175;
for a continuous membership of more
than ten years and not more than fif
teen years, $275; for a continuous
membership of more than fifteen
years, $400.”
The plan provies for the payment
of death claims begining in June,
1910, providing the proposition carries
when the referendum vote is taken.
The committee on death benefits had
also considered the matter of a benefit
of $1,009, but decided against that
plan.
Before taking the referendum vote
there will be a careful consideration
of the proposition both at the various
local unions throughout the country
and also by means of discussions in
the official journal of the international.
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, pro
tested to President Taft in the name
of organized labor against the nom
ination of Circuit Judge Horace H.
Lurton, of Tennessee, to be a Justice
of the United States Supreme Court.
The objection is based upon certain
railroad decisions rendered by Judge
Lurton.
It is reported that "drummers” are
t; be employed in the census office in
Washington to do the figuring so that
no mistakes will occur. They should
send for that postmaster in Kentucky
who had never heard of Chicago, 111.
But on second thought that would
not do; he probably doesn’t know
where Washington Is, either.—Bloom
ington Record.
The library left by the late Amas
J. Cummings has been forwarded to
the Union Printers’ Home by his
widow. This was done in conform
ance to a request made by the de
ceased printer, editor and Congress
man. The books will prove a source
oi great benefit and enjoyment to
the residents of the institution, form
ing a link in the memories of the
past. Mr. Cummings’ autograph is
in each and every book, and was
written during his last illness, in an
ticipation of their being sent to the
home. This addition to the library
shelves is especially welcome at this
time, and will be a valuable acqui
sition when the new structure is com
pleted.—Typographical Journal.
