That the George Krebs store is a
popular institution with the Hamilton
public was manifested in the large
crowds that attended the opening
Thursday. I^rom the time the doors
were opened in the morning until
closed late at night, the building was
crowded with admiring visitors.
From a small beginning, a rug shop
in fact, the Krebs store has grown
to one of the biggest and finest fur
niture stores in Southern Ohio. It is
a store that the Krebs boys can well
be proud of, and the Krebs store is
one that whole Hamilton is proud of.
It is surely a credit to the city.
And the whole credit for this beau
tiful store might well be laid to
George Krebs, father of the Krebs
boys, and who passed away ten years
ago. It was his dream to build up
an immense furniture store in Hamil
ton, and it is due to the splendid
training his sons received from him
that his dream of a big store has now
been carried out.
There are no more popular nor re
spected and esteemed merchants in
the city than are Adolph Krebs, man
ager of advertising and sales Ar
nold Krebs, office manager and rug
buyer Louis Krebs, furniture buyer
«f the stoi'e. It is due to the strict
policy of honest dealing with their
customers of these young men that
the store has grown to its present
huge proportions.
The new home of the store, a three
story and basement building, gives
the Krebs Sons 30,000 square feet
of floor space. This great space is
slocked full of the finest and best
furniture, rugs, stoves and music
procurable from the world's best
markets. .These goods, together
with the splendid arrangmeents of the
immense store, called forth many ex-

Crowds, crowds, and then some more
crowds. Such was the attend
ance at the George Krebs Sons store
which threw open its doors at Third
and Court streets Thursday morning
for inspection by the public. When
the Krebs boys announced some time
back that they had purchased the
building in which the store is now
located, and that in time they would
remodel the whole building for the
exclusive use of their store, the pub
lie eagerly awaited the opening date.

However, while Thursday was open

VOTE "YES" ON
PARKLEVY
And "Save Hamilton's Parks
and Playgrounds"
Have' you ever stopped to realize
where our children would play and
find safe recreations, if it were not
for the parks and playgrounds that
are being maintained by the city of
Hamilton*? Statistics show that but
very few accidents have occurred
among children while playing on our
streets 'or public highways. This is
because they know that they can en
joy themselves to their heart's con
tent, unmolested and in comfort, on
any of the numerous playgrounds
that are located in various places in
town.
But the children are not the only
ones who take advantage of our parks
and playgrounds. Music lovers have
been offered free concerts in the parks.
Those working in shops and offices
have found welcome relaxation in the
Twilight Baseball League, which was
so popular around town this year..
In fact the advantages of Hamilton's
parks and playgrounds are so numer
ous that it seems impossible to men
tion them all.
You would think then, that Hamil
ton's parks and playgrounds are sold
to the heart and desires of each and
every one of our citizens. Perhaps
they are. But when Mr. and Mrs.
Voter go .to the polls next Tuesday
to cast their. votes for our public
officials, and other civic and county
offices and problems, they will be con
fronted with so many ballots that

they are quite apt to overlook one of
the most important issues.N To be
sure, our gas question should be set
tled once and for all time, but the
project that will mean most to Ham
ilton, and to Hamilton's future gener
ation, is the park levy. You, readers,
will have to decide the future of
Hamilton's parks and playgrounds.
If there is any opposite viewpoint
to their maintenance, it has not as yet
been heard. Capital and labor, rich
and poor, young and old, press ami
clergy, everybody asks you to "save
Hamilton's parks and playgrounds!"
This can be done in one way only:
Vote "yes" for Hamilton's park levy.
That way, and not otherwise, will
Hamilton be enabled to maintain it
beautiful parks, its much needed
playgrounds. Parents owe it to their
children. Property owners owe it to
themselves. Vote "yes" for Hamil
ton's parks and playgrounds.

BENJ. F. PRIMMER
Republican Candidate for Mayor
NOTE—The
.vf'l -A- "SSMn
•^8:
The Union Gas & Electric Co.
Against
The People of Hamilton
tric Co. that is now backing his candidacy. We secured a referendum against the sale of the city
electric plant and Mr. Koehler fought against the referendum. He did not think then that the peo
ple were competent to determine these questions themselves. We were in court with both an
injunction case and a mandamus case, and he was in court as attorney in both these cases, trying
to deprive the people of the right to vote whether they wanted to sell the electric plant or not.
We favor installing additional units to the electric plant. More money is on hand now than is
needed for that purpose. The plant made an operating profit in: 1924 of more than $160,000 and
the lirst six months of 1925 more than $92,000. The business is getting more valuable all the
time The taxpayers and renters of Hamilton should make sure to retain the city electric plant.
What were Mr. Koehler's promises worth in the past and what are they worth now? Patrick
Henry said, "I know of no way of judging of the FUTURE but by the PAST." Mr. Koehler has been
tried and weighed in the balance in the past both as City Solicitor and Mayor.
We have been working to give the people an opportunity to decide whether they want artificial
gas. However, the Union Gas & Electric Co. has been doing everything it can to deprive the peo
ple of this right. Five thousand and sixty people signed petitions to allow the people of Hamilton
to vote whether they wanted artificial gas but The Union Gas & Electric Co. in face of that has
been trying to force down our throats the Gas Leasing Ordinance. We believe the people sense
the unfair and unjust tactics and methods of this company.
We have declared in favor of honest, decent, government, free from graft. The people are
entitled to this. Let Hamilton lift its head from the clouds and fog into the sunshine of just,
honest and decent government, where she belongs.
We have on our ticket candidates that are honest and can be depended upon, and are worthy
of the confidence and support of Hamilton voters. Let us put an end to the efforts of The Union
Gas & Electric Co. trying to run the affairs of Hamilton. Let us make this decisive and emphatic.
Respectfully,

Republican Candidate for Mayor

The issue this election is The Union Gas
& Electric Co. against the people of Hamilton.
The Democratic candidate for Mayor is sup
ported by The Union Gas & Electric Co. and
he is its only hope. It wants the city's electric
and gas business, and the Democratic candi
date for Mayor is the Wooden Horse and The
Union Gas & Electric Co. is concealed within
his candidacy. To say The Union Gas & Elec
tric Co. has been UNFAIR here in its efforts
to deprive the people of Hamilton of their
property and their rights would be using the
jVilLDEST word possible.
The Democratic candidate for Mayor
savs, "Where we stand. Gas! Electricity!"
but he does not say which gas or which elec
tricity—word juggling, deceit and evasion!
He says, "The people are competent to deter
mine for themselves, and what the people
solemnly declare, we will religiously follow."
The people, by more than two-thirds vote sol
emnly declared by the $650,000 bond issue that
they desired, "to enlarge, improve, repair, and
extend the city electric plant." However, in
utter disregard of what the people had de
clared, in November, 1923. Mr. Koehler passed
legislation to sell the city electric plant he
advertised for bids and on December 24,1923,
attempted to make the city electric property
a Christmas present to The Union Gas & Elec
