    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.

COUGH IS YOUR
DANGER SIGNAL
Chronic coughs and persistent colds
lead to serious lung trouble. You can
stop them now with Creomulsion. an
emulsified creosote that is pleasant to
take. Creomulsion is a new medical
discovery with twofold action; it
soothes and heals the inflamed mem
branes and kills the germ.
Of all known drugs, creosote is
recognized by the medical fraternity
as the greatest healing agency for the
treatment of chronic coughs and colds
and other forms of throat and lung
troubles. Creomulsion contains, in nd
diiion to creosote, other healing ele
ments which soot lie and heal the in
flamed membranes and stop the irri
tation and inflammation, while the
creosote goes on to the stomach, is
absorbed itito the blood, attacks the
seat of the trouble and destroys the
germs that lead to consumption.
Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfac
tory in the treatment of chronic
coughs and colds, bronchial asthma,
catarrhal bronchitis and other forms
of throat and lung diseases, and is
excellent for building up the system
after cold or the flu. Money refunded
it any cough or cold, no matter,of
how long standing, is not relieved
after taking according to directions.
Ask your druggist. Creomulsion Co.,
