The National Association of Stationers
and Manufacturers Monday night proved
to be the most willing candidates, the
most pleased spectators, the most ' en
thusiastic audience and, withal, the Uvest
band of visitors his majesty, King Ak-3ar-Ben
XVII; has had this year.
Nearly 300 went in the six special car
from the headquarters at the Rome hotel
to the den where they were UBhered in
to the patriotic tunes of the big band
and the loud applause of the 1,500 knight
already assembled there.
t For the first time of the season, one tn
the audience became so enthused wlttj
the show he could not keep his seafsau'l
had to join in the affair himself. He wax
none other than Charles A. Stevens of
Chicago's big stationery firm of Stevens
4 Maloney.
i This man, short in etature and loag in
smiles, could not resist the ogling dam
(Is in the grand mufti's harem and, as
sisted by shoves from fellow stationers,
'he mounted the platform and danced thu
Ibea ; the what's name with the filmy
lad S. P. Conover and Jack Brennan
Ut this demonstration of unexpurgatel
terpsichorean art the stationers and man
ufacturers waxed wild, or something
kkln to that, and the Hon. Stevens was
proclaimed a hero.
j This was the height of tie audience's
enthusiasm, but throughout the show
their appreciation and delight ran close
to that with the result that the actors
ach were accorded a glad band so many
times that encores became too numerous
to Be supplied.
j The St. Louis delegation seemed most
in evidence because of their lusty lungs
and harmonious vocal chords. It cam
to light that their band entered the city
iwlth many printed" books of "spasms."

i,
IOh! Paddy dear, and did you hear
The news that's going around,
Blnce Champ Clark fat.ed to get the Job
; They're going to kill the hound.
Chorua:
Oh! yes some of us are Irish,
And the balance are Low Dutch,
But we didn't choose our parents,
So it doesn't matter much.
It you only treat us kindly,
You will find us all alike,
As long as some have money sure
The rest can make a strike.
Oscar Didnt Have Violin.
i The only thing missing from the circus
last night was Oscar Lleben's rendition
of the "Beautiful Lady." Oscar forgot
his violin, leaving It at home, and he
maintained that there wasn't another
etradlvarkis in the city on which he
could feel safe In the production of the
piece.
The large array of speakers, however,
made up for the omission. F. I. Elllclt,
acting as chairman, refused to call upon
ail in the assortment which, had been
gleaned from the visitors.'-There' were
only a half dozen he Introduced for talks
and. each of them was limited to two
minutes.
i Twotmlnutes, though, was enough for
each to express his appreciation, of ' the
big .show in short, pithy remarks.
'Fletcher Gibbs, who is known as the
,father of the National Association of
Stationers and Manufacturers, declared
.the show the "most unique and pleasura
ble entertainment" the association mem
bers had had during the existence of the
'organization. Samuel Ward of Boston
testified It was a thousand times better
'than eating Boston baked beans, while
President Millington Lock wood occupied
hit two minutes in declaring his visit In
(Omaha had been nothing else than a suc
cession of surprises. "Even your
weather," said he, 'Is great." Similar
compliments were expressed by Ralph
Wilson and C. A. StevensJof Chicago and
R. D. Patterson of St Louis.
.'The Persistent and Judicious Use of
j Newspaper Advertising Is the Road to
Business Success.
The Nat'onal Association of Stationers
and Manufacturers, assembled in eighth
annual convention at: the Rome hotel,
has demonstrated' that its members are
the most expeditious convention holders
In the world. The first business sessions
of the organization bosun Tuesday
morning and were continued Tuesday
afternoon with some of the fastest and
cleanest work Omaha has seen in the
way of convention bustness'meetings.
President Millington Lock wood called
the convention to order at 10 o'clock yes
terday mornlnng and without any further
ado the invocation was pronounced.
Mayor Dahlman gave his address ot
welcome axid everybody's report was in,
from that of the president to that of the
auditor, in time which would seem to
have been beaten only by the man who
said "Jack Robinson."
Something unheard of In convention
fashion was the total absence of those
who object to anything and everything
and the delegates who desired all matters
to be referred to committees for con
siderable incubation and final verbose re
ports. The National Stationers and Manufac
turers have shown they can do things
and do them well and in a hurry.
Remarkable ab it may seem, there was
not an objection to the president's ap
pointments to the nominating committee.
President Lockwood read off these
names: Harry W. Rogers of New York !
City, chairman; W. E. Milllgan of San
Antonio, Tex., W. E. Smith and C. A.
Stevens of Chicago, Charles E. Moyer of
Omaha, H. J. Williams of Buffalo,
George A. Savoy of Holyoke, Mass.
Every man seemed to have been raised
just to be a member of that committee
if the pleasure of the convention may
count for anything.
And then there was the report of th
executive committee. It did not have
much to report other than that two meet
ings had been held and they had been
principally occupied In the acceptance of
new members and the ousting of those
who had neglected to pay dues. Five of
these latter, the report read, had been
reinstated.
Ralph S. Bauer, chairman of the pro
grain committee, was called upon to read
the address of Charles H. Marshall of
Philadelphia, the largest manufacturer of
stationery supplies in the United States.
Marshall was scheduled to be in Omaha
to deliver, the address entitled, "Adver
tising a Retail Business." Word came
that he was unable to be here and his
paper was turned over to be read.'
This large stationery advertiser advised:.-
"Use of newspapers for a quick
introduction. Do not look upon money
spent in' advertising as a gamble. The
honest exploitation of goods in good advertising-
mediums' means the greatest
success in the business world."
Many other such thoughts expressed
eplgrammatically were Included In the
paper, with wnicn the convention was so
pleatse'd that a ' motfort -was -unanimously
adopted that it be placed in the minutes
of the assembly.
The first business session of the eighth
annual convention of the National Asso
ciation of Statloers and Manufacturers
was held yesterday morning in the as
sembly hall of f he Hotel Rome.
The 110 delegates, who thus far have
registered' at the hotel, were present to
gether with a large representation of the
Omaha Stationers' association.
Mayor; Dahlman, , George E.. Haver
stlck, president; of the commercial club,
and.; Charles E. Moyer,' president of the
Omaha assoc atiori,,' delivered ' addresses
welcoming' the . national body. .. .Millington
Lockwood, president of the national as
sociation, expressed the appreciation of
the visitors for the entertainment af

JAMES H. EINSTEIN.
One of the most prominent statlonefs
attending the Stationers convention Is
Mr. James H. Einstein, president and
manager of the Tower Manufacturing and
Novelty company of New York, the
largest stationery concern In the world,
1912 camping ground,
i-i i t
r knowing me aaaresses were the re
pons or tne president, secretary, treas'
urer and auditor and the reports of vari
ous committees on routine matters, which
were discussed by the general assembly,
These reports brought out the fact that
the national' association has experienced
a wonderful growth, both In membership
and finances. There are now 622 mem'
bers, an increase of Hixty-seven over last
year. According to the treasurer's report
me association alter paying an now out
standing debts will have a balance of
2,27S.50.
A motion was made that the national
associaten join the Chamber of Commerce
of the United States of America that the
members may be represented better In
congress. The motion whs referred to
the committee on resolutions after con
siderable argument and will be reported
on by that committee later.
The meeting adjourned at 12:30 o'clock
that a photograph of the delegates might
be taken and the noon luncheon served.
The guests ate in the Vineyard of tht
hotel.
The place of the convention of 1913 will
be a subject of much discussion In all
probability. Springfield, Mass., Phila
delphla and San Francisco are trying to
secure it and there is one man from
Dallas, Tex., now placing the bid of that
city for the 1914 national assembly.
