‘The Auctioneer’ Still Sells Relics in Old Boston Shop

By HAROLD MATSON, XEA Service Writer. r_ IOSTON, July 10.—He came I O to t * l * s country with ambi--1 tion, knowledge of six languages and two glass bottle knickknacks. The kniekknacks brought him fame and rich's. David Abram Jacobs, immop taUzed by David Warfield in his famous play, “The Auctioneer," has continued his unobtrusive way despite the fame and despite the riches. But he still 3ells gate-leg tables, samovars, brass candlesticks, miniature ships blown in glass bottles, Windsor chairs, gewgaws galore to those who want—and those include notables from all parts of the country. '* Henry Ford just stepped in to buy a round-top table. He paid sll for it. Jacobs gave him a receipt. Ford went out. If a crowd hadn’t gathered outside Jacobs would not have known. It was the same way when David Warfield came in some time ago. He came again and again. And then one day Jacobs received fare to New York and tickets for "The Auctioneer.” Jacobs went and saw himself characterized on the stage selling brass candlesticks, and he went seven times more. But he returned to his shop “just making a living.” “I don’t care for money,” he tells you, but one could hardly say that Jacobs passed up any opportunities to make money. In fact, he has proved that his “junk shop" is pretty much of a mint. With his two bettle antiques, brought over from Poland, ns started his career as an antique dealer In 1897. The two antiques he sold for $5 each. “Ach, this is a good countree,'’ he thought, “to make money so easily.” Then he bought 400 cig arettes for $1 and sold them for $4.

BRYAN STARTED AS PROPRIETOR BF CIGAR STORE Vice Presidential Nominee Has Good Record in Public Service. By United Pres a LINCOLN, Neb., July 10. —From a little side street cigar store to the threshold of the vice presidency—spans the rise of Governor Charles TV. Bryan of Nebraska. * In between those points has been ! a struggle against “trust prices ' j culminating on his war on coal, gravj el and gasoline prices while Govern!or of the State of Nebraska. t “ - Forced Prices Down As mayor of Lincoln and Govern- | or of Nebraska he has forced lower prices in coal, gas, gravel and gasoline—always with the club of municipal or State sale held high over the head of the victim. Charles W. Bryan was born at Saiem, 111., Feb. 10, 1867. He attended the University of Chicago. While still in his early twenties he journeyed into the West to Nebraska to join his brother, William Jennings Bryan. Practically his first venture into business made him proprietor of a side street cigar store in Omaha, i Soon after he became a traveling salesman for a food extract company in Lincoln. Private Secretary Then came the year of his brother’s first run for the presidency in 1898. Charles Bryan became his brother’s private secretary. Again in the 1900 presidential I campaign of W. J. Bryan his younger brother was private secretary. But more than that Charles | had risen to the post of confidential advisor and political strategist. | Once again defeat turned back the ; Bryans and this time resulted in the inception In 1901 of the “Commoner,” edited by W. J. Bryan and managed by Charles W. Bryan. For seven years the Bryan organ occupied the attention of both brothers. Then for the third time

DAVID ABRAM JACOBS "Ach, this is a good country beyond a doubt!” So Jacobs bought and sold and bought and sold and bought and sold until he became famous for his bargaining. , Yet the shop remained the same—they call It a “junk shop” along Cambridge St. In the meantime Jacobs’ two eons have completed college courses, he has bought valuable property in Boston, he owns a mansion, he owns a big car— And he wears his same old black derby and sits in a dark corner of his shop, waiting for the Fords and the Warfields and the Morris Gests to come for his wares.

{he Commoner entered the presidential lists. Third Time For the third time brother Charley took up his post behind the scenes. By this time a small, black leather-covered pocket note book—still up to date and accurate —had reached a workable stage. In it were listed all of the prominent Democrats of the country. At a glance “Brother Charley” could tell ; whether they were “for or against" , us. Adversity for the third time de- | scended on the house of Bryan, and William Jennings was defeated f:>>the presidency. But the Commoner continued to be published and the management sooTi rested on Charles’ shoulers. Elected Mayor In 1915 Charles Bryan was elected mayor of Lincoln. His campaign was waged against high Ice, coal, gas and market prices. Soon after election he threatened to open a municipal gas plant—gas prices dropped. Then he agitated municipal | Ice production—lce prices dropped ■ and so followed coal. His popularity became State-wide and sweptj.hfm into the iiovemrrta office in 1922. From the early-title of “Brother Charley” he graduated to "Governor Charley.” His term has been filled wdth successful warfare waged against gravel, coal, and gasoline. MYSTERY_C_LOAKS FIRES Two Garages Bum—Police Suspect Incendarism. Firemen and police are investigating origin of two fires thought to have been incendiary. Dr. M. D. Battier. 2112 Boulevard PI., reported an attempt had been made to fire his garage Wednesday. Discovery of a quantity of excelsinr and removal of the cap from the gasoline tank on an automobile led police to believe a firebug had been at work. Damage of SSOO to an automobile owned by Mis* Esther Dalton In a garage at 432 Erie St. was caused early today by a fire of unknown origin. Nominal loss was suffered by Tony Voy, 433 S. Alabama St., when the blaze spread to a shed in the rear of his home. NEW CHAPEL FOR CHURCH Fairfield Presbyterian* to Build $12,000 Extension.
