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.”

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. The Profit-Sharing Preferred Shares are being sold to
our employees, customers and friends, and since our success depends upon them, we
could not afford to sell them anything in which we did not have the utmost confidence.
