FINDS OMAHA THE PLACE OF OPPORTUNITY Eugene McGill, Energetic Texan, Finds Business Prosperity Here, And Is Glad He Came. Like many other residents of the south, who have become very much.j dissatisfied with conditions there, less than two years ago, Eugene McGill of Forth Worth, Texas, began looking about for some northern city to which he might remove himself and family. Through The Monitor he learned of EUGENE McGILL, South Side Restaurateur. Omaha, and decided that he would take his chances here. So in Novem ber, 1918. he landed In Omaha and located on the South Side. With a capital of $180 he opened a restaurant at 2526 Q street. By attending strictly to business and catering to the needs of his patrons his business rapidly grew. So successful has he been that from the earnings of his restaurant business he has been able to purchase for cash, and a consid erable sum at that, the present build ing which he occupies at 2516 Q street. He is planning to buy other property on the South Side. He has associated with him in the business his stepson, William Davis. Mr. Mc Gill is very well satisfied in coming to Omaha which he sayB offers splen did opportunities for industrious and law-abiding citizens. He is of the type which helps to contribute to wards the building up of a substan tial citizenry. We want your patronage. Trade with Finkenstein. **♦ ♦J* « PHI DELTA ELECTS OFFICERS The annual election of officers of the Phi Delta sorority was held Wednesday evening, January 28, at the residence of the Misses Jones, 2811 Caldwell street.
