THE PHILADELPHIA RETAIL LEDGER SAID: “The Burgess-Nash department store of Omaha is now mak ing what is believed to be one of thp most significant records in the history of the mercantile world—a record that is worthy of the most careful study and consideration on the part of every merchandise man in the United States.” “The store is advancing by leaps and bounds.” “These sale increases are not accidental, nor caused by any exceptional financial situation of Omaha and her trade ter ritory but by progressive merchandising principles which have been put into operation.” » « • • • * # % ARTHUR BRISBANE, GREAT EDITORIAL WRITER, SAID: “Bank reserves report the sales of department stores re markably steady and uniform. Nobody can estimate the future of department stores, well managed as profit-earning and public service enterprises, offering opportunities of solid, conservative investment. Department store business is still in its infancy—and, by the way, for intelligent, anf^ bitious young people the department store is the best busi ness college.” / . \ ** i ( FAIR'S 16,000,000 [[ ) STOCK MPPED IIP | \ Department Store Issue Is g 1 Oversubscribed; Earning* ,e t and Balance Shown; J / Kanban Flaw.

The Burgess-Nash Company in adopting its new policy of permit ting its employes, customers and friends to share in the profits of its business, is following the plan which is being carried on generally by many of the largest concerns in the world. However, it is the first Department Store to permit its employes, customers and friends to share in its profits to the extent of from 7 to 10 per cent. PREFERRED, CUMULATIVE and TAX FREE These shares, although-they have many very attractive features, are conservative, safe and profitable as an investment. The par value is $100. These shares will pay 7 per cent to the owner and in addition, after the common shares receive 7 per cent the preferred shares will continue to share in the profits up to a total of 10 per cent. A security as safe and as sound as these shares ranks at the very top of investments. Here are some of the attractive features: If you live in Nebraska you will not have to pay any city, county or state taxes on the money you invest in these shares. The dividends also are exempt from the present normal federal income tax. The shares are cumulative up to 7 per cent per share per year There fore, the company must pay the dividends in full at the rate of 7 per cent per year before one penny of dividends can be paid on the common stock. Dividends are paid on these shares before ANY dividends are paid to common shareholders. HAS ALWAYS PAID DIVIDENDS Never in its long history has the Burgess-Nash Company ever failed to pay regular divi dends on any of its securities.
