than double that of a year ago, ac
cording to W. L. Mohr, treasurer and
general manager, who attributes
this to the improved conditions and
the increased interest of the members.
The attendance was not appreciably
larger than at the gathering last Oc
tober. Merchants from the rural
communities were more confident of
the outlook and those from the in
dustrial centers reported a continu
ance of a good volume of employ
ment. He estimates that about 75
per cent of the business placed last
week was for spring goods and 25
per cent for immediate delivery.
Sales of men's furnishings comprised
about 30 per cent of the sales, and
clothing 70 per cent.
Mr. Mohr estimates that fully
$750,000 business was booked last
week. His claim is that the total
business secured in Chicago and at
the Kansas City gathering during the
week of Oct. 22 and at Minneapolis
the week of Oct. 29, together with
the orders resulting from the mer
chandise bulletin to be issued after
the conventions will total $2,000,000.
It is said that there were 50 to 60
members present at the Chicago
event, and that from 170 to 200 will
be the total attendance of merchants
at the three conventions.
According to Mr. Mohr, the mer
chants present said that with seas
onable weather, they anticipate bet
ter fall business than a year ago and
fully as good a holiday season. He
believes that the condition of the
average retailer of men's apparel has
shown an improvement of 10 to 15
per cent over last year. Whereas 40
to 50 per cent of the merchants were
not in healthy financial condition
last year, he figures that this per
centage has fallen to 25 to 35 per
cent.
As an example of what the U. N.
C. Cooperative Chain Store System
launched at this convention may ac-
pnmnllsh Mr Mnhr rtflrlnrta that n
contracting to take a certain quan- f
tity annually, the members will se- 3
cure garters and suspenders from a M
Chicago firm which have more rub
ber and are otherwise better in qual
ity than some nationally advertised
brands, at a lower price. The plan
will be to have every member 'of the
chain send in his order every three
months so that the seller will receive
the equivalent of one biy order four
times a year. This mercl andlse will
bear the U. N. C. label, and will be
advertised through such mediums as
a distinctive sign to be shown by
each store carrying the emblem of
(the organization and the chain store
number. Mr. Mohr adds that this
same arrangement has been made
with a manufacturer of staple cloth
ing, which can be held by all the
member stores, work and dress trous
ers, overalls and other items.
Mr. Weston has occupied this of
fice for the past seven years and is
one of the most efficient men in that
position that the organization has
had and conies in intimate contact
with probably as many young men
as anyone in Omaha, every (lay in
the year. Mr. Weston is a native of
Australia and came to America to
cotnplete his educational work and

We have been asked HOW we can sell men's suits and overcoats at
As
and stand back of them with our guarantee of satisfaction. There is only one
way we can do this and that is in buying them right. Then you ask how can
we buy any cheaper than other clothiers, and the purpose of this ad is to
tell you how. Simply this we are part of a great buying organization as
indicated at the top of this ad the United National Clothers Chain Store
System, at present composed of 278 of the most wide awake clothiers in
the middle west and growing every day. This gives us a combined buying
power of over $1,000,000 each season, which means we are able to go di
rect to the manufacturer with volume orders, command a price minus all
selling expenses and middle man's profits and deliver the goods to you at
substantial savings. The high cost of merchandise today is largely in the
high cost of distribution, expensive salesmen, traveling expense, overhead
and double handling. By this U. N. C. system we eliminate all this and de
liver the goods direct from the factory to you with just one handling. Furth
ermore we are standardizing our merchandise specializing in fewer kinds
and styles, thus simply f ing the whole transaction and SAVING YOU REAL
MONEY. That is why wecan sell suits and overcoats for $25, $30 and $35
fully guaranteed and other things in proportion. Look for the U. N. C,
label it's your protection against high prices.
