Red Trunk.
Beginning Monday morning of
this week the Goodman Straus
Clothing Co., became a thing of
the past and the old Red Trunk
opened up with new owners in
charge.
Meis Brothers, Alex and Jesse,
the new owners need no introduc
tion to Hamiltonians. A little less
than three years ago they came to
Hamilton s managers of the Good
man Straus Co., of Hamilton and
Portsmouth. Mr. Jesse Meis as
the active member soon became
very popular and by his fair busi
ness dealings made a host of
friends and especially among the
workingmen.
Toe Meis Brothers soon saw tne
possibilities for a real working
man's store in this city and when
the opportunity came, bought nit
the two stores at Portsmouth and
Hamilton.
Their motto is: A friend of he
Workin^man. Nothing too Good
for our Customers, and Nothing
too much for Us to do for Our Pa
trons.
They will handle only merchan
dise of the best quality. The prices
to be always the lowest. Ourtesy
will be extended to all.
Meis Brothers will cater especial
ly to the working man. They will
handle goods bearing the union la
bel in all lines possible to be had.
The store in the future will be
known as Meis Bros.. &
Trunk.

In
Union
Made
The uniform for the ieriod between
1802 and the war of 1S12 reflects the
style adopted by European armies for
the time. The three cornered cocked hn
of the revolution had been abandoned,
and the officers wore cbui»eaux brab,
while the enlisted men of the infantry
and artillery wore round leather hats
with bearskin crests,
picturesque effect.
During the war of lM- several types
oi
uniform were worn by the American
forces. There was little left to remind
one of the Revolutionary war. Instead
at
the long cutaway, enlisted men wore
•ingle breasted, close buttoned coats,
with the skirts fashioned after the ci
vilian dress coat of the day. Facings
disappeared, and the collars became
enormously high, rising to the tip of
the ear. Hats were high, some infan
try wearing headpieces much like those
worn by the cabmen of the days Just
preceding the taxicab.
Coats of the infantry and artillery
were uniformly blue and were modified
somewhat in shape by an order issued
in 1813, the long tails being found in
convenient in tje field and in fighting
through wooded country and under
brush. The word "coatee" was coined
for the new garment, and the only
trimming consisted of tape on the col
lar. The high hat was changed to the
bell crowned leather shako, and worst
ed or leather pompoms replaced feath
ers.
Distinction between dress and field
uniforms began to be made about the
time of the war of 1812. The full dress
consisted of the hussar jacket, and the
skirt had a double plait In each fold.
The collar and sleeves were worked
with silver braid. The trousers were
white cassiniere or buckskin for pa
rade and dark blue for service.
Knee breeches sometimes were worn
oil social occasion, with yellow knee
buckles instead of strings, yellow buc
kles in the shoes and a chapeau bras
Instead of a cap. The waistcoats were
of white cloth in winter and of Jean or
nankeen in the summer.
When the Mexican war began a dis
tinctive campaign uniform was adopt
ed. The flat, soft forage cap carro into
prominence, and the frock coat was
worn by officers. Men and officers
alike discarded cross belts, but wore one
body belt and a waist belt. The artil
lery wore jackets, which did not entire
ly disappear from the service until
after the war between the states.
The influence of the French victories
In Italy was reflected in the zouave
dress that was fashionable when the
war of the sixties began, and the dark
blue blouse and sky blue trousers of
our own service of that time fixed for
years the fashion of state troops from
one end of the country to the other.
After that war it was some time be
fore the trappings which had been
abandoned for field work were re
stored.
In the eighties the uniform was much
as it was during the Spanish-American
war, except that men and officers wore
helmets much like those of the London
bobby of today, instead of the slouch
felt eamuaiirn hflts ost-d in Cuba Th®

There is little in the businesslike,
simple uniform of the American sol
dier reminiscent of the colorful, bi
carre garb of the early army of the
United States.
From the time of the Revolutionary
war or soon thereafter the tendency
was steadily toward simplicity, but it
was not until after the war with Spain
that khaki was adopted and the easily
visible blue trousers and shirt dis
carded.
Today the American soldier's uniform
is designed for comfort, serviceability,
protection from both weather and dis
covery by the enemy—la short, for ef
ficient service. What some of the pic
turesque old uniforms were devised for
is more than one can say unless It was
for their picturesqueness.
Washington's armies, when they had
uniforms, wore the familiar "Conti
nentals" of bluff and blue or gray, but
regiments from different states had for
the most, purt uniforms of their own.
The majority wore whatever clothes
would protect, them without regard for
uniformity. One part of the American
troops who received the surrender of
Cornwallis at. Yorktown were in uni
form, but the most -r them still wore
rags of homespun.
V
ooats were (lark blue snort rrocK coats
and the trousers light blue. Stripes on
cne trousers denoted the branch of the
service, and in the case of the officers
plumes on the helmets wore used..
In the Spanish-American war the uni
form consisted of a dark blue coat
(shorter than the frock coat), blue flan
nel shirt and light blue trousers.
Stripes on the trousers denoted the
•errice--'white for infantry, yellow for
cavalry and red for artillery.
It was not until after the Spanish
war that khaki and olive drab came
Into vogue, although the marines and
few Infantry units tested it In the
war with Spain. The light blue trous
ers and dark blue coats are still worn
In garrison for semidress uniforms,
but in the field olive drab is the color.—

Plans for the organization of a league

offset activities of the loyalty leagues
recently formed in various parts of Ari

Arizona State Federation of Labor. A
committee, was appointed with power
to act in the formation of a league In
opposition to the loyalty leagues which
the federation characterized an organi

the laboring man. The convention pre
viously had passed resolutions expell
