Voiland Assures Cothiers 1923 Is Prosperous Year National Association Presi dent Says Need Is to Re store Government to Economical Basis. ‘ The greatest need of this country today is to get rid of tile ‘snake doc tors' in congress and Inject more busi ness methods into the government’s program.” was one of the declara tions of Fred Voiland, president of the National Association of Retail Cloth iers, in addressing the Nebraska branch of that organization at Hotel Fontenelle Wednesday afternoon. “The politicians hate the budget and will get rid of It if they can. Its establishment was the first sign of sanity that congress ever displayed, but Dawes lasted just a year. What we need to do is take up the fight from there and carry it on. "Americans have no cause for gloom, much less the American busi ness man. Statistics tell us that as a country we are underhoused by at least $2,000,000,000 worth of buildings and homes, that we are underciothed by a half-billion and that the rail roads must spend at least a billion to place themselves in a position of economic value. This means employ ment, and employment means con sumption. Sees Prosperity Ahead. "The retail clothier can lie assurred that 1923 will be a prosperous year. Every barometer of trade points to that.” Mr. Voiland said that whereas 10 years ago the French invasion of the Ruhr would have caused a financial panic in this country, it actually failed to cause a ripple. "The reason for this,” he declared, "is because this country is financially, commercially and morally sound. Our country is strong, and the reason it is strong today is because it will not tolerate another war, in this country or any w here else.” Mr. Voiland touched upon the ef fects that co-operative and chain j stores are having on the retailer and said: So long as the American re tailer Is able to justify his existence by the giving of service and leader ship that are finally written into dtl- I zenship his plate is secure. There need be no fear of displacement by chain stores or any other form of dis tribution because the retail trade, when saturated with service and lead ership. is, after all, the highest form of co-operation.” Win Women’s Trade. Advice. Mr. Voiland told the clothiers that by neglecting the women's trade they are losing a lot of business. He said the American woman is the shrewd est buyer on earth and that she has a memory that cannot be beat. ’’She may be fickle in her heart affairs,” he said, “but she is not fickle when it comes to buying.” He declared that women are going more and more 1 in for things that men wear, and that the clothier who falls to cater to them properly is losing a big oppor tunity. Auto Revolutionizes Trade. C. C. Parlin of the Curtis publica tions, Philadelphia, told the clothiers that, the automobile has revolution ized merchandizing in small towns, that the country store no longer ran carry what It thinks the farmer wants, but that which the farmer | knows he wants. He said that 83 per cent of the farmers in tills country own automobiles and that for this reason they are independent of the store upon which formerly they had to depend. Attend Catfish Dinner. The clothiers and their wives and daughters were the guests last night of Omaha manufacturers and whole- ■ salers at a catfish dinner and enter- I tainment In the Burgess-Nrsh tea room. Addresses today will lie delivered by Thomas C. Byrne, president of the Byrne-Hammer Dry Goods company, and John A. Swanson, president of the Nebraska Clothing company. Election of officers will he held and tonight the delegates will be enter tained at Hotel Fontenelle with a vaudeville show and boxing match.
