Welcome to All

VISITORS
While in Omaha. Come
Out and Have a Talk
With Me
Breryone la welcome to come out
nd talk over my work wltli me.
Visitor are always welcome. Ask
your friends for their renewal and
bring- it alone with your own.
Here la my condition my back
has been broken thirteen years,
body dead from waist down; no
functional control. Yet friendless,
uuable even to sit erect, doomed to
perish through the gradual Increase
of wounds, I must literally support
myself. No lnTalld could do the
work necessary to esrn $60 a month
to provide hoard, fuel, laundry and
treatment and pay a woman for my
rare. Nevertheless If the publte will
lve the same Interest to enable me
to equal the business of the last two
years to earn the third JJ.OOO for
the I. P. A. during the year ending
September SO, 1915, commissions
will enable me to pay nurse and help
and the Curtis Pund of $5,000,
which becomes the property of the
Invalids' Pension association. But
If I fall, the $5,000 must be forfeited
to two other charities, as legally pro
vided, and a score of helpless suf
ferers will be deprived of their only
Income, and I will perish, for no one
would credit my need. I received
.7.000 orders last year, representing
11,000 names. To earn the $7,000
- for the I. P. A. this season I must
liave 10,000 orders. Everybody takes
tty publication. I must have -your
kelp and Influence. I duplicate any
printed offer. Your order or re
newal contributes 50 cents or more
toward the support of a score of
helpless sufferers who receive $S
or $10 a month each, there being
bo expense for salaries, fuel or rent.
Burely. you will . not withhold It!
Remember, by giving me your sub
scription or renewal, you are helping
many Invalids. Dont delay do
it now.

REAL ESTATE MAN PIONEER
Omaha I la Far Better Conditio
Than Almoat Aay Other City
of tha ( oantrr and
till Growing.
BT Ti. R. BRKfSO.V.
The real eatate man of the United
States has been to the public and to the
development of th country what the
drummer boy Is to the army.
Were it not for the real eatate man the
entire wrat and all that th weat holda
would tlll be almost unexplored or un
developed. To him belongs the crown of
advancement. The real eatate man Is al
ways first In the upbuilding of a city. Ho
Invests hla money, plana, devolops and
enthuaea the public with the thought of
making money and having a home! until
he aotually develops and populates one
city, one location after another.
There la no place in tho United States
where the real estate man has not been
the forerunner of proaperlty and up
building of communities. It la a profes
sion all of Its own. It 1s a buslncsa that
takea nerve, enthusiasm arid Integrity to
make It a success.
Bnalneaa of Importance.
In this busy life everybody Is constantly
pursuing their own buslnr.sa with such in
terest that they do not give much thought
to anything else. It. therefore, takes
someone to do this, and tho reul estate
business Is of as great an Importance
and pcrhupa more so, than any other
business witli the exception, perhaps, of
that class of people who produce the
commodities and the things that wo eat.
Take for Instance, our own experience.
W have for twelve years been developers
and aubdlvlderB. We have laid out one
addition after another; been criticised
by all classes because of the fact that we
were going out on the edge and develop
ing tracts of land when everybody
thought that there could not possibly be
any Increase In tho value of the tracts
that w were aelllng; and let ua ay here
that there Is not one addition that we
have placed on the market In the last
twelve years that the original purchaser
of lota or tracta of land In these aub
dlvlslona cannot today take a handsome
profit on the original Investment Rvery
city grows In cycle and we simply have
taken advantage of our knowledge of the
business and there has been absolutely
no risk ao far as we are concerned; and
It has only been a matter of educating
the people to buying.
Property la Improved.
A year ago we platted lt'O acrea of land
one mile from the car. one mile from Hen
son; laid It out Into acre and two-acre
tracta. Teople wondored and were sur
prised that such an undertaking could be
carried on to success and today this 100
acres has been developed from a crude
plcc of farm land to one of the highest
aore subdivisions adjacent to Omaha.
Tree have been planted, road hav been
put in and home dot the tract her and
there. People are living ther and con
tented. It la only fifteen minute' walk
to th car and only thirty minute' rid
downtown. The entire tract haa been
sold. We believed that Omaha needed a
subdivision of this kind; we believed that
the people of Omaha would be glad to
live on a tract of land.
It has been an entire success, not only
from our standpoint, but from the stand
point of the purchaser. Everyone I
satisfied and some of them have been
offered, even at this early date, an ad
vance on th original purchase prloa.
Good Car Facilities.
Th next time that you take a trip
away from Omaha Investigate the value
of land almilarly located In the city you
visit with the placo you are living In and
find out how far from the car and other
convenience the average home 1 In the
city that you are in. See If Omaha has
not better accommodations from street
car companies; better servic In every
way than you can find In any city where
the land I the same a It Is In Omaha.
In traveling from one city to another
you find that the cities have grown ab
normally; that there haa been a tre
mendoua rise in value; that there Is an
overdeveloped condition In the downtown
...... .i . .....
, , resiuence districts have
been built up quickly without thought of
the future and you find a stagnant con
dition. It is not an uncommon thing and can
b found in almost any city, with tha
possible exception of four or five. In th
United States Omaha Is one of them.
Our business men ar slow to enlarge
their stores. They are alow to Increase
their expenditures. They ar satisfied
with the reasonable profit at the end of
each ye.ir. In other words, they ar con
servative, and a they are conservative
In their buslnesa. ao they are In their
homea, and that one factor haa don mora
toward keeping Omaha from being
boomed; and baa assured all th pur
chaaera of real eatat In Omaha of an
advance In value, and there ar only rar
caaea where you hear a man say. "I
bought some property five year ago and
I lost money on It " You tear Invariably
of some on taking a profit, but not a
loss.
City of Good Home.
In riding through the Weat Farnam dis
trict, Dundee and Kounti Place, around
Miller park, It occurred to me that no
wher In th I'nited Plate hav I ever
aeen better homea, and I believ that
Oiuaha can boast of niur beautiful homes

numbers Is shown by the larse crowd
on the above picture, even Harry
Christie

being present on his
In proportion to Its capital than any city
I have ever visited. I do not believe that
the people of Omaha fully apprei-late how
beautiful some of Its residence districts
are, and this Is the time of year that
everybody should go and look them over.
It la worth while. Take your children out
and show them what kind of a place thoy
are living In. We can Justly be proud of
It; and should by all means be thoroughly
familiar with th beautiful spots In our
own city. n.
In concluding, I wish to aay, that If you
own property In Omaha you need not
have any fear of Its future. Alao that
never was the time more opportune than
now to buy, aa I believe that Omaha 1
etands today on the eve of a growth in
prosperity along safe and sound lines that I
will be unequalled In Its past history, be
cause during all the qulot periods In the
last two year It was calm and calm when
financial conditions over the country have
been shaking; when everyone In the east
and throughout the west have been timid ,
and afraid of the resulta, Omaha has 1
gone forward steadily. I
We are almost Independent of the en- '
tire world. The world must have what !
we produce in thla wonderful territory j
surrounding Omaha, and aa long as the I
Increase In population continue our j
values and our financial conditions must
become better, and, therefore, believe In
Omaha and yourself and success will be
yours.
Arliss Remembers
Dr. P. Findley for
Past Kindnesses
When Dr. Palmer Flndloy of Omaha'
gave up his steamship passage from Kng- j
land to America six weeks ago. In ordor :

that his courtesy to tho artist would ever I
bo rewarded with more than hla own '
plcaeant recollectlona of the Incident, j
Hut when Mr. Arliss reached Omaha his I
first Inquiry was for the doctor who had i
helped him so much. He arranged that '
Dr. Findley ahould attend the first per-!
formance of "Disraeli" with a rarty as!
special guests of the actor, and then Mr. '
Arliss held a reception for tho doctor's '
party on the stago Friday evening. j
When th curtain wa rung down on I
the last act of "Disraeli" at the Brandola
last evening tha stage became a thing of I
the past to Edmund Gorst. ono of the
players, for he will leave the company'
here and go back to England. He waa
formerly a lieutenant In the British army
and Is going to Join the colors and fight
with the allies.
CAMPBELL FINDS MANY
