Liberal Newspaper , /
Advertising.
Monday was a notable day In mer
chandising history of Omaha. A stock
reducing sale at Burgess-Nash com
pany’s store and an annual progress
sale at the Brnndels store offer the
explanation. These sales will be con
tinued throughout the week, and the
Burgess-Nash sale may be extended.
A trip through the Brandela store
Monday afternoon offered evidence
of unusual activity In all departments.
Karl Louis, general manager, stated
that this year’s progress sale was be
ing started satisfactorily.
"Last year’s progress sale broke all
records for receipts In this store," Mr.
Louis said, “and it looks like this sale
will exceed last year'B. He explained
that full assortments of fall merchan
dise are Included In this sale, which
Is being held In all departments of
this great establishment.
A similar scene greeted the visitor
at. Burgess-Nash company's store
where all departments were busy
serving the hosts of eager buyers.
Tills condition applied to all depart
ments.
P. Redmond, manager, moved
through the throng, from floor to
fleor, and viewed the busy scene.
?*This just demonstrates that the
people of Omaha want this store to
stay," Mr. Redmond said. "We are
raising $1,000,000 by reducing the
stock, and our advertisements In the
Sunday newspapers certainly brought
results. I am unable to state how
lopg it will be necessary to continue
this sale to raise the required amount,
but If this large attendance Is main
tained, we will soon accomplish our
objective."
Mr. Redmond stated that his store
has an organization of nearly 1,000
cleyks serving the people during the
stock-reducing sale.
Mr. Louis, at the Brandels store,
also referred to the results obtained

Two Visiting Federation Celebrities
^fjgjfrli iHtMlil
Two celebrlt.es In women’s club
circles were honor guests at a lunch
eon given by the Omaha Woman’s
club Rt the Y. W. C. A. Monday, Mrs.
W. McNabb Miller of St. Louis, gen
eral federation chairman of public
welfare, and Mrs. Francis Whitley of
Webster City. Ia., past chairman of
conservation for the federation.
Mrs. Horace J. Holmes, head of the
conservation committee for the local
club, presided. Among the guests at
the speakers’ table were Mrs. Phillip
Potter, president of the Omaha
Woman's club; Mrs. James Dahlman,
wife of Mayor Dahlman; Mrs. C. E.
Johannes, Mrs. C. L. Hemple and
Mrs. F. H. Cole, past presidents of
the club; Mrs. James E. Bedner,
president of the Omaha College club;
Mrs. L. B. Webster, president of the
North Side Woman’s club; Mrs. L. M.
Lord, Dr. Jennie Callfas, and Mrs.
Blanche Poe, who led the singing.
Mrs. Miller, in forecasting the
work of her department for the
biennium Just begun, eaid:
"As reorganized, the public wel
fare department includes child wel
fare, public health, problems of In
dustry and problems of delinquencies.
"Justice for the first American,
the Indian, is one of the big jobs the
federation has given Itself.”
Mrs. Whitley spoke freely on con
servation, a subject which Is swing

\M.rs.Francis 6 'IDmtJey^
ing into Its proper place of impor
tance in her opinion.
"Years ago when Roosevelt called
a conference of governors to consider
the subject of conservation of our
natural resources, he was widely
criticized for taking up a ‘fad,’ the
speaker said. Such a view of this
Important subject sounds like a joke
to us now.
n "Millions of acres in our country
have been depreciated by ruthless
treatment. Land has been made un
fit for agriculture or even cattle. In
Michigan stand 13,000,000 acres of
idle land cut over or burnt over, un
fit for use.
"Eighty-five per cent of our run
ning waters have been polluted by
municipal filth or industrial was**
Hoover himself told me," continued
Mrs. Wh tley, "that in 10 years there
will be no oyster beds on the Atlantic
coast unless something is done.
"I thought It was a Joke until I
saw with my own eyes that It was
not, when I heard that mothers had
to take along a Jar of gasoline for
scrubbing their children after they
had been in bathing in waters along
the Jersey coast.”
These visiting women were on
their way to Grand Island where the
state federated clubs open the r an
nual convention Tuesday morning.
Fifty Omaha women left Monday
night to attend.
