Omaha Trade Area '
Enlarged by Auto
Thatlhe automobile is rapidly Widen
ing Omaha's trade territory and Is help
ing to bring much more business here,
is 'asserted by W. E. Haynes, formerly
of Omaha and now a successful general
merchant of Flats, McPheraon county.
He bought an auto last summer, and
since then has made many more busi
ness trips to Omaha and bought more
goods here than he did before he got the
gasoline wagon. .
Forty miles from a railroad sounds a
long way from no-where, but that Is
Haynes' location, up In the sandhill
country. Before he pastured his driving
ponies and began using a car to get
around in, he didn't get to Omaha more
than once or twice a year. But now,
with his car, he frequently runs in to
Njrth Platte and hops a fast train to
Omaha. He has do.ie go several times
already this winter.
He comes In that way, or In to lid
weather and with good roads, even
motors all the way, almost 400 miles,
whenever an interesting trade conven
tion occurs here, or his wife and little
daughter want to visit Mrs. Haynes
parents, Mr. and Mrs. G. B. bake, 2817
'North fwenty-fouAh street Haynes
even comes to Omaha sometimes Just
to place a wholesale order. Instead of
putting up with the delays of doing
business by mall.
All these things, in addition to Indi
cating the rising prosperity of the sand
hill country, go to show that the auto
mobile Is a trade stimulator for Omaha.

AFFAIRS ATJOUTH OMAHA
Anti-Annexationitts Are Trying to
Brat Bill by Routing Interest
la State.
COUNCIL AFTER SAIARY LIFT
It now seem assured that tho consoli
dation bill will pass tn senate and ths
antls are beginning to think of a srheme
to beat the measure In tho house. Sat
urday a an a busy day for one or two
of the politicians, who see The necessity
of laying new Hues to beat the measure.
The Stock Yards and Interests over there
were frantically arpcalcd to yesterday
as Vere a number of banker.
One of the plans proposed Is to have
patrons of the yards urged to carrv back
word to the country folk that the con
solidation bill Is a terrible "framcup."
H was even suggeate.i that petitions
would be sent out to different parts of
the state to be signed and then sent to
the representatives of the different dis
tricts. x
Also it is proposed to get Ihq South
Omaha banks to puil financial strings
on country banks against the nil. On
tho packer a new argument Is being
sprung. It Is now urged that If tonsoll
datlon takes place and the lust of office
seeking be taken from the laboring peo
ple of the city, these people having
nothing else to worry about, will Im
mediately begin to organize labor unions,
which, of course, cause strikes. Tills last
argument is. prepared especially fot the
consumption of packing honw managers,
who always get their wisdom fro.n South
Omaha politicians and dnpesters, as Is
well known.
After "alary Raise.
And then on the top of all this comes
the news that the Sorth Omaha city
council wants to have Its salary raised
from 810 bones per year to l.&M) ainioicons
a year that Is to say, eacli coMncilmsn
will get $1,800 a year for his services If
II. R. No. 2t, Introduced by Nichols of
Msdlson, passes. The mayor will get an
increase, also. So great was the roar
made over this bill even by antl-annexa-tlonlsts,
that the "other side" Is being
accused of framing the bill to discredit
the anils. As It happens. Representative
Nichols knows, who gave him the bill
and as It also happens South Omaha antla
are known to have linen directly leading
to Madison. The passage of tho bill In
the senate has become so assured that
many of the local business men have
grown bold enough :o come out openly
and assert themselves In favor of the
bill. Some of these men openly refused
to accompany the "protesters" last TIiust
day. At that time the rebels wero prom
ised discipline later.
Now even officials are beginning to see
the light. "Will the bill have an
emergency clause on it." asked one man
yesterday. "When will a man have to
file in order to get into the commissioner
race, asked v another "administration
man." .

nized me, and said:
"Certainly; w will be
glad to d6 the work for
you." 1
I next went to tho cloth
ing store where I buy all my
haberdashery. I have had
an account there for ten
years. I always call for a
certain clerk who waits on
me. He is a good salesman.
I was interrupted by a floor
"walkor at the front door who
wished to know what I
wanted., I hate floor-walkers.
They seldom know cus
tomers and their job is to
keep the sales force disor
ganized. I never noticed
him. I ran the gauntlet of
clerks and asked for my
salesman. They said: -
"He is in tho basement
tnkini; an inventory of col
lars." Here was a real salesman
taken from behind the
counter and relegated to the
cellar to count collars!
I next went to the leading
look store. It is not in a

BRANDEIS BUYERS CO EAST
Led by George Brandeis, Will Buy
' Good i in Greater Quantities
Than Ever Before.
MANAGEMENT IS OPTIMISTIC
Under the leadership of George Bran
dels, general manager, with Instructions
to buy even In greater qunitltlea than
for any previous season, eleven buyers
from the Brandeis stores will leave In a
speclsl car this evening for New York
ond the eastern markets. Within a few
days another division of Brandeis buyers
will leave on the same mission and lth
the same Instructions. The entire corps
likely will remain in New York until
shoot March I'. While In New York tho
Omaha buyers will make their headquar
ters st the J. L. Brandeis 4k Sons offices,
13SI Broadway.
Optimism rules the management of the
Brandeis stores, who confidentially expect
the year 191S to be not only tho greatest
year in the history of the stores, but In
the history of Omaha. Nebraska and the
whole mlddln west. Proof of this confi
dence is expressed in the most substantial
manner the order by Arthur Brandeis
and Oeorge Brandeis, "Buy more goods
(and If possible), better goods and more
fashionable goqi'.s than you ever have
bought before."
Nineteen fourteen was a great year for
us, said (leorge Brandeis. "We have
every reason to anticipate a still greater
191". So certain ere we that Omaha's
volume of business will be materially li
Classed In this new year that every buyer
before leaving for the markets lias In
structions to out-do all his past best ef
forts. We believe we are quite conversant
with the conditions In Omaha and
throughout this section of the middle
west, and we have every reason to feel
that we now are embarked upon a new
year that will set records In this terri
tory never before attained."

who leave tonight and will follow soon

Good coal means as much to a furnace as good food does

case. So give your furnace a chance to show what it y

oU Can't Brush Or
Wash Out Dandruff
The only sure way to get rid of dand
ruff Is to dissolve it. then you destroy it
tnthcly. To do this, get about four
ounces of ordinary liquid arvon: apply It
nt night when retiring: use enough to
moisten the scalp and rub it in gently
with the finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning most
If not all of your dandruff will lie gone,
and three or four more applications will
completely dissolve and entirely destroy
every single sign nml trnre of It, no mat
ter how much dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, thrt all itching and
digging of the sonlp will stop at once, and
your hair will bo fluffy, lustrous, glossy,
silky and soft, and look and feel a hun

You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store. It Is inexpensive and never fails
to do the work.-Advertisement.
