Salesmanship Wins
Army Recruits Here
Omaha boasts one of the most ef
ficient army recruiting stations in
the country. And that pertains both
to quality and number of men re
cruited, according to Capt. Ivan Cur
tis, chief officer of the station in the
Army building. Fifteenth and Dodge
streets.
1' delates for the army must pass
a series of strict examinations. ‘‘They
• sound in all respects,” said
Captain Curtis, as he glanced at the
men in uniform standing at the other
end of the office. Prospective dough
boys between the ages of 8 and 21
must gain tlie consent of both their
father and mother, or their guard
ian, in enlisting.
Captain Curtis ascribed the suc
cess of the recruiting station lurgely
to the recruiting officers on the
streets. "We send out only our very
best men," he said. "They are not
only the highest type of soldier. They
must be salesmen, and good ones at
that. Just as good as any profes
sional shoe or clothing salesman,"
he added.

Will Not Lint—Stains Wash Out Easily
Rosemary-Basco linenized tablecloths, hreakfast cloths, table tops and na'phins. A finish that has proven a success. One
that does not wash out when laundered. Gives up dirt and stains when laundered, and retains a satin damask finish, free from lint.
The finishing process is a secret with the manufacturer, that we do not attempt to explain. We do know, however, that re
sults are all that we claim them to he. We would not present these new Rosemary-Basco linenized table cloths and napkins unless
they wore all that they are represented to be. We have given them a thorough test, having had one of these table cloths used and
laundered 14 times. We have this tdble cloth on display in the department now for your inspection.
