Committee Rejuvenated.
There was fighting Mood In the
committee members and tho com
mittee as a whole has taken on a
renewed life as a result of having
been beaten in its efforts to save the
-M. K, Smith Co. from being closed.
Tlie expressions of approval of the
work of Chairman Hudson was by
means of a vole of the committee.
Hudson asking that no formal action
be taken. A formal resolution was re
garded as a fitting recognition of th~
work of Mr. Cordon, however, reso
lutions that, could be spread upon the
minutes and that at the same time
could express lhe feelingof the com
mittee for the opposition to which
Mr. Gordon had directed his fight.
Thus ibis resolution points out the
work done hy Mr. Gordon and also
refers in a backhanded and nameless
manner to T. c. Byrne as 'another
bidder."
The resolution expressing the ap
predation of the committee for tho
work of Mr. Gordon is as follows:
(0* "'lhe Greater Omaha oomnik.ee
desires to express hs deep appre
ciation of the arduous, unselfish
and patriotic service that Air. Al
W. Gordon performed during the
last year in connection with the
affairs of M. E. Smith & Co.
At the request of the committee,
working in full co-operation with
it and with the full knowledge of
its members at all lime, Mr. Gor
don la cured unselfishly to restore
the company to the position It for
merly held as one of Omaha's
prominent and successful institu
tions. Tn all this, lie rendered heroic
service.
Gordon Praised.
"At tlie request of the Greater
Omaha committee, Mr. Gordon or
ganized a syndicate to purchase the
assets of M. E. Smith & Co. and to
continue it as a going concern in
Omaha. In this effort he was suc
cessful. He formed a syndicate
composed of many prominent busi
ness men of Omaha, with ample
resources at their command. The
members of this syndicate, under
.Mr. Gordon's leadership, co-operat
»d with the Greater Omaha com
mittee in the development of plans
which would have continued M. E.
'inith & Co. .Nevertheless, despite
the efforts of Mr. Gordon, his as
soeftue* and lhe committee, to pur
chase lhe company's assets, they
were sold to another bidder, who
intends to dispose of the assets and
. -lose up the company's affairs.
Gordon Makes Statement.
"l.’t-spifH this unfortunate termlna
tiolT of t'ne affairs, the Greater
Omaha committee, in a public way,
wants the people of Omulm. lo
know that Mr. Gordon has given
splendidly and unselfishly of his
time, labor and ability in a real and
patriotic eff> rt to save M. K. Smith
& f'o. and that the sincere thanks
of the pomnltten are due him.”
Tile report submitted by Mr. Gor
don, setting out the high spots in the
work of himself and syndicate mem
bers Is as follows:
On March IS. i:<24. I was ap
pointed comptroller of the M E.
Smith company. I immediately at
tempted to get in close touch with
i lie affairs of the company, investi
gating its asset? and liabilities, si
the same time considering the great
injury that would lie suffered by its
loss not only to the men and women
who had invested in the stock of
he company but to the ,-tly because
the prominent position that. Al.
E. Smith company had occupied
and its long' existence as one of
Nebraska's leading wholesale busi
ness institutions.
After reciting the inability of the in
abilities of the creditors to reorganize
the business and the Inahiiity of sev.
eral Interested eastern dry goods men
to furnish sufficient capital, Mr. Gor
don Continues:
Syndicate Formed.
I thereupon, with the full co-op
eration of the Greater Omaha com
mittee, suggested to a few' of Oma
■ - - -'■ 1 —
ha s progressive and substantial
business men that they form a syn
dicate and purchase the M. E.
Smith company and thus save it
from disaster, each one agreeing to
underwrite his propoi tinnate share
of the loss, if any. this underwrit
ing to be done without gain to any
member of this syndicate; that the>
would attempt to form a new cor
poration with men experienced in
the dry goods business as executive
heads who would be willing to in
vest their own money in a new or
ganisation. T had received enough
inquiries from outside interests to
convince me that in a very short
time we could find those who were
nngMy able to take qvaer the M. K.
Smith company and continue it as
a going concern.
Mr. Gordon then relates that he was
invited to become a member ot the
underwriting committee, that lie no
tified the courts and received their
assent to his inclusion.
Confer With Outside Men.
Immediately thereafter a meeting
of prominent business men was
called and a sufficient number of
those men agreed to underwrite and
to accept each his proportionate
share of the loss, should any de
velop l>etween the purchase price
of the M. E. Smith company and Its
resale value to a new corporation.
Later a conference was held with
the president of a large eastern dry
goods house, but most of the mem
bers of the syndicate were, out of
the city when this took place. Those
present, speaking for the syndicate,
agreed that if they were successful
purchasers of the M. E. Smith com
pany they would place their entire
stock in escrow with th$ provision
that the same could be disposed of
to this eastern dry goods house if
the proper arrangements could be
made with them, but with the fur
ther provision that whatever stock
was held by the Omaha syndicate
would he offered to the valued ein
ployes of the M. E. Smith compare
at the exact cost of purchase, thus
giving thejn an^ opportunity to pay
for it upon easy terms and to ac
quire whatever amount they desired
within a period of live years from
the date the stock was offered.
No Profit to Be Made.
The eastern president returned
home and under date of February
11 by letter indicated that, while
interested, until definite ownership
was established he could not sub
mit any concrete prpposition, but
that he was intensely interested
nd would keel) in close touch with
the syndicate so as tu be ready to
act at the proper time.
In the meantime, the president of
a wholesale dry goods house lo
cated much nearer to Omaha, a
man whose ability was recognized
and who regarded as a leader in the
dry goods business, was induced to
look over the proposition and. after
doing so. stated that he would be
glad to invest his own personal for*
tune iq the M. E. Smith company
provided the additional amount of
money necessary could be raised
either In <»r out of Omaha, and that
he believed the .NT. K. Smith com*
pany offered an exceptional oppor
tunity for building a very large
end successful wholesale dry goods
ayd manufacturing business, where
upon the original members <»f the
syndicate agreed to underwrite the
entire purchase price, which 97 per
cent of the creditors had indicated
would be acceptable to them sub
ject to court approval, they to im
mediately turn over the assets to
m new corporation at the exact co3t
to the syndicate.
Worked in Open.
There was nothing secret about
the price offered or regarding the
intentions of the men composing
the syndicate. Every act of theirs
was an open book. They had no
desire to go in the dry goods busi
ness. Their one thought was to
save the great. M. E. Smith com
pany for Omaha. W> fe^l that we
did everything within our .pow^r
■'ud everything that honorable
business men could do. We hid
>1,825,000 for the .\1. G .Smith • ot
pany assets. \Yp agreed to stand
our proportionate part of any
losses that pvight. accrue In the re
sale of the M. E. Smith company
to a new corporation. We Were
sorry we were unsuccessful in our
efforts.
