THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, JUNE 8, 191:
rJC
Sometimes, when I look
over this stock, I say to
myself:
"What's the use of
ANY man paying
over $15, $20
or $25 for a
suit of
clothes?"
A V3a
Straw Hat
means a departure
from the ordinary
humdrum sort.
See the
lines
now!
And I view the suits from the standpoint of a
clothier who KNOWS his business; I go DEEPER
than mere "front:" I examine the make up; the
linings; the detail work; the texture of the fabric;
the general "get up," before I say; "It's a rare
value."
You men who wear suits costing as much as $50
or $65, have none the best of it; only the satisfaction
of having paid a stiff price for. your clothes; (if
that's any satisfaction.)

One of the largest business deals which

doors until Tuesday, will be known as the
Orkin Bros, company, with the following
officers: Max Orkin president; J. Ia
Orkin, secretary; M. E Orkin, treasurer;
A.", g. Levitt, vice president. J K Orkin
will leave Omaha and take charge of the
New York office, his businuss being to do
all' the buying for the new company.
All the clerks and hfad of departments
who were with The Bennet company will
ie retained by the new concern, for the
present, at least. '
The store will be closed until Tuesday,
June li. In the Intervening tlm an Inven
tory of the stock -M The Bennett com-.
pany will be taken
J. L. Orkin, who has been negotiating
the purchase of The Bennett company for
some time. Interested his brother, Max
Orkin of Sioux Cfty and A. S. Levitt, a
half brother, both of the firm of Orkin
& Levitt, wholesale dry goods dealers In
Sioux City, in the. undertaking. The pros
pects appealed to these; brothers and they
entered into the deal. ' The wholesale
house at Sioux City, will be closed out, as
will the Sixteenth street store of Orkin
Bros., in Omaha. The entire stock of both
these . Companies will be moved Into the
new department store.
Start of Omaha Company.
J. L. Orkin came to Omaha with his
brother, P.' H. Orkin, six and one-half
years ago. They bought out the O. K.
Scofleld Sult company, which at that
time was doing- a small business. As
soon as the Orkin brothers took hold of
the business they changed its policy and
four years ago they were doing an exten
sive business which- needed room. A little
over two years ago they moved to their
new location at 318-320 South Sixteenth
street, which lias grown until how It Is
one of the largest exclusive women's
cloak and suit stores in the country.
The business continued to grow until
the firm could not handle the enormous
business In the small space which It
occupied. It was then that J. I Orklni
who founded the firm of Orkin Bros., In
Omaha and who has been the ' mdvlng
spirit since, began to look for more
space. For some time he looked In vain
aud ' finally opened negotiations with
The Bennett company for the purchase
of the entire stock, all departments. In
cluding millinery. After some time the
deal was put through and It Involved
close on to Jl, 000,000.
Brother Join In.
Max Orkla and A. S. Levitt were
persuaded to join in the deal and as a
result formed a very strong company of
hustlers.. 'The., wholesale . business of
Sioux City will soon be closed out and
nd all; their forces will, be concentrated
Into . the large new department "store,
if. Bi Orkin, who' has been In Omaha for
wme time, will move to New York, and
reside there to be the New York representative.
In speaking of the deal, J. L. Orkin
said,' "The new department store will' be
opened with an entirely new policy. The
Orkin policy will prevail at all times.
This policy has been the foundation of
out great success In the business world
In Omaha. The store will be one for all
elapses. For the rich and the poor.
and for the middle classes. We will handle
medium priced goods and of medium qual
ity as well as goods of the very best
grade and quality. Everything will sell
at fair prices and we assure our cus
tomers absolute square and honest deal
ing."
About the Firm.
The Bennett building, which is taken
by the new firm on a lease for thirty
years, was the first of the new depart
ment store buildings to be erected on
South Sixteenth street. It was occupied
by the W. R. Bennett company in tin
spring of 1902, this company being suc
ceeded about eight years ago by th
present Bennett company. The Orkins
came to Omaha about six and one-half
years ago, buying out O. K. ScTio'field.
and building up an extensive trade. In
women's wear. A second store was
opened on South Sixteenth street a little
over two years ago. '

wrecked his station at Ninth street nearly
five months ago; The Union Pacific re
fused to pay him for the time he was In

the shanty in the street might be held
liable. He was instructed by the council
