I Start* Today “SCARAMOUCHE" Men Who Are Making Omaha jcTdlcUtem. I Whenever a speaker starts out to eulogize the newsboys, he Is sure to refer to them sometimes In the course of his speech as "little merchants." Now and again one of them grows up to be a big merchant. I>essons In salesmanship, gained In the exciting occupation of "hustlin’ the papes,” come In handy in the real game of business life. A. Goldstein started that way. Born in St. Paul in 1980. he came to Omaha with his pa rents in 1S98. and attended the public schools. Out of school hours he sold papers on Par nam street, and on the day of Cleve land's election. 1992. he sold enough of The Omaha Hee extra edition to net, him $25. Of course, such an energetic youth could not be kept at that sort of work, and he took on s job with Otto Seifert In his drug store. From there he went to Fair bury, to Nebraska City and to Clay Center, gathering experience and — ... . » knowledge of the retail merchandis ing game. Ills first venture as an owner was st Centerville. Ia., where h« opened a retell store In 1903, which he still owms. Omaha still had a hold on him, and four years ago he came oack to open the “Silk Shop." A year later he took over "Vogue," and hist year he and his associates formed the firm and opened the business of Gold Stein-Chapman company. Very re cently the firm celebrated Its first anniversary', with an increase of more than 100 per cent In the »um ber of departments represented in their line. Mr. Goldstein is married and has two children. He is « member of several secret orders, of the Athletic Club, the Adseli league, the Cham ber of Commerce and the Highland Country Club. His hobby, as may be understood from his rise, is work. He loves to watch Omaha grow.
