McKelvie Finds
Conditions Good
Former Governor Says State
One Veritable Garden—
Rains No Hindrance.
Information regard ng crops and
business conditions in this state is
contained in a statement prepared
by former Gov. Samuel n. McKelvie,
publisher of The Nebraska Farmer,
Lincoln.
"In some places there has been too
much ra!r for immediate needs, but
no serious damage has been done to
crops," Mr. McKelvie says. "The ef
fect of this plentiful supply of mois
ture has been almost electrical and
has turned thousands of acres of
wheat from a prospective loss to the
promise of a very satisfactory crop.
Front one end of Nebraska to the
other the state is a veritable gar
den.
Iftjs* “in spite of the late rains and the
very satisfactory outcome of the
wheat crop. I do not anticipate now
that the total yield for the state will
be over 40,000,000 bushels. This
would he about 25 per cent short of
a normal yield."
Mr. McKelvie predicts that this
year's acreage of corn will be about
IS per cent above normal. In con
cluding. the former governor says:
"No one can tell what the future
holds, hut, taking conditions as they
are today In this state, the outlook
for the farmer and business generally
is very favorable. To manufacturers
who are in a position to cultivate this
field, we make this suggestion: Agri
culture la the l^sic Industry of the
nation, and the farmer affords the
largest market in the world. These
facts undoubtedly warrant cultivat
ing the farm field year In and year
out. without undue legard to tem
porary conditions." m

Shopping at Brandeis'
IX a gathering of Omaha
women “Shopping”
was the topic of discus
sion. There were silver .
threads among the golden '
strands of the beautiful <
hair of one who said: “I 1
enjoy shopping at Bran- 1
deis for several seasons. When I go
through that big store. I always feel proud
that Omaha is able to support such a large
institution. Then I am pleased with the
convenient arrangement of goods. The
habitual courtesy shown to shoppers is
gratifying and the willingness of sales
people to give patient and expert advice
to a perplexed customer is very helpful.
Above all I am glad for the rule—estab
lished and inflexible—‘Satisfy the Cus
tomer’. I know that that is not an idle
boast on the part of the management. On
many occasions I have had the opportu
nity of testing the sincerity of that rule
and I know it to be genuine.”
This report of an actual occurrence is
very acceptable to The Brandeis Store
management. We feel that its reproduc
tion is not immodest, for it is more than a
tribute to the management—it is a de
served acknowledgement of the real ser
vice ever rendered by the faithful rank
and file of The Brandeis Store family.
