Latest Models in Clothing Are Sought by Bijyers Market Week Displays Prove Attractive—Merchants Re port Confidence in the Trade Future. Girls! Walt 'tUl you see ’em! The day when ntodes of clothing distinguished the metropolitan and small town resident has become a period remembered by the select few. It has been made a matter of more or less ancient history'. There was ft time, when the rural community merchant, coming to Omaha for his buying would select garments and goods which bore the unmisfnkable stamp of "small town." That time has gone, perhaps never to return. When the merchant or merchants from your home town get back, there will be a fll sorts of pretty things come out of his hag o' tricks. Honestly, the styles they are se lecting would be enough to turn any Omaha girl’s eyes to the conven tional green with envy. There nro charming sport suits, notty afternoon frocks, delicate party gowns, servic able hiking costumes. Buying Reported Heavy. Besides these, there are shimmer , ing, dainty other things, not appar ent to the passerby, the latest thing In hose, you know, those flesh colored ones, and others too, for that mat ter—In fart, everything the feminine heart desire* for physical adornment. Th(*s" selections are not being made by buyers from ail parts of Nebraska, own, Kansas, Colorado. Soutn Dakota and Wyoming, in Omaha,for Mer chants' Market week, simply to Vie doing something, according to Roy T. Byrne & Hammer Dry Goods com pany. ’ • ‘I understand that this is the larg est crowd we have ever had for Mar ket week," Mr. Byrne said. "Mer ckants in general are making com plete plans for their spring business at. this time, and while they have keen conservative In buying, the pur chases are sufficiently vailed to In dicate the growing confidence in the business situation ir^ this vicinity. Educational Features Popular. "The educational features of Mer- , chants' Market week seem to have struck a popular chord. Plans al ready are being made to enlarge on this feature for next year." "Of course, we who are In a min ing community," remarked Gust Stur holm. Rock Springs, \Vyo„ "haven't felt the depression which was notice able some time ago. We operate there on a payroll, and are not de pendent on crops. The miners are buying liberally, and I'm getting a fairly complete line of stock for three stores. This is the first time in the 25 years I have been doing business with Omaha firms that I have at tended Market week. But, believe me, I’m coming back.” E. W. McDermott. Mlnatare, Neb., also Is planning a good season. "The $l-a-ton bonus which the sugar beet plant will pay raisers this month will amount to something like 5550,OftO. The farmers feel optimistic and many are increasing their acre age. Their cattle and hogs have been shipped, money Is coming In and is being spent on improvements. Merchant* Know Conditions. "I am anticipating my sales farther In advance than I have for the last three years. When a merchant does that, you may be sure he Is certain of his ground.” g* "Conditions look very good: collec tions are better as a whole, and be sides that, we live in a good dairying country.” declared E. W. Hallgrcin, Newman Grove. Neb. ”The popula tion Is made up largely of northern European peoples which account for the dairying. Tm getting a larger hill of goods than I have in the past three years.” ' Byrne * Hammer company have a daily style show of 12 models arrayed In all the latest dresses, gowns, coats, cloaks and other accounterments. The processiqn Is front 2 to 4 every after noon. There will he a final showing this afternoon. A demonstration of window trimming and general store display 1 Isgven every afternoon. Grocers See Customer*. Dry good houses are not tha only ones being visited by out state mer chants this week. Wholesale grocers are receiving their share of attention. E. E. Kdnberly, head of the fancy groceries department of Paxton and Gallagher company, stated that many of the customers of the house had come In to place orders. “We didn’t expect to he swamped with demands for goods,” he said. "Our salesmen cover the edtlre ter ritory at least once each week. At those times, the orders are given. But we like to have persons to whom we sell, romo In and see what we look like.” Visits Are Enjoyed. "There have been more people at tending Market weep conie in and sec us this year than ever before,” de clared .T- F. Ferguson, department head. "We like to hav* them. It's a good thing for the buyer end seller to get a chance to e»e what the other fellow looks ilk*. I've renewed many old acquaintances this week. “It's a shame, though, that the merchants don't come In to this Market week 100 per cent. They could, Just s* well ss not.” • He declared that he failed to find a pessimist In the number of people to whom he had talked.
