VISITORS FROri OMAHA
The Commercial Club Spend an Hour in Our Midst
and are Driven about the City/
As Our Reporter Views It
The live commercial club of
Omaha , consisting of the princes
of that commercial center , vis
ited Falls City last Friday
norning , remaining one hour
in our midst. The past
visits of this enterprising club
to our little city have been ex
ceedingly pleasant to us and
this was still on the advance
and in keeping with their splen
did record.
Promptly , per schedule , the
Trade Boosters excursion train
arrived over the C. B. it Q.
tracks at 10:02 : a. m. , in their
own train. And they had the
entire train make-up , including
observatory car , Pullmans and
a baggage car for "commisary' '
also to keep cool m.
Mayor Barrett add a large
number of the business men met
them at the station with hacks
and carriages and escorted the
visitors up town.
Arriving upon Main street ,
each business representative
sought the retail merchant in
their line , and proceeded to
make himself known. It is not
the intention or aim of the club
to solicit orders on their Trade
Boosters' excursions , but merely
to extend acquaintances and
make new friends , and these
trips have been quite successful
in the matter of extending the
acquaintance of the wholesale
merchants of Omaha and ce
menting their business ties with
the retail merchant. Such a
spirit of interest is one of the
most commendable features of
these excursions.
Huster's excellent band ac
companied the 185 tourists , and
their concerts were greeted
w i t h enthusiastic applause.
That wee German melody was
a winner.
The day was a beauty , the
spirits of the party high , and
altogether it Jwas a pleasing
mixture of business and fun.
The progress of the boomers
in their way around town was
marked by the din and uproar
of hundreds of little brass cow
bells labelled "Ak-Sar-Ben Bells
ring for Omaha , the market
town. Commercial club excur
sion , " and these being given
out to the people , formed a
noisy but eagerly sought souve
nir. Your carnivals are not in
it for excitement , when com
pared to the interest awakened
by one of these visits.
nirs , neat and nobby articles
were distributed with a lavish
hand by the visitors , the re
ceivers of these being fortunate
indeed. To remember all would
tax our brain a trille too heuv-
ily , but those we received were
so good that we cannot refrain
from mentioning them. Among
the first to whom we received
an introduction , was J. C. Dahl-
man , mayor of Omaha , one of
the most thoroughly honest ,
conscientious men it has ever
been our pleasure to meet.
Straightforward in policy lie
has won the praise and com
mendation of that vast business
center of which he is chief exe
cutive. He and Mayor Barrett
will tie for honors in political
life.
Then there was genial T. W.
McCullough , managing editor
of the Omaha Bee. This publi
cation has just completed its
j thirty-fifth year , and with the
above named gentleman on its
roll , will have even a more suc
cessful future than past. Mr.
McCullough is a gentleman to
the dot , and no one can question
his ability in managing impor
tant affairs. We are indebted
to him in particular for many
favors received by us last Fri
day from the club. Here's to
you , T. W !
The Hon. G. M. Hitchcock ,
proprietor of the World Herald
has a reputation in the newspaper -
paper circle , worthy of emula
tion by all. Hoping of perfect
satifaction from all of our read
ers , we would do well to remem
ber first , last and always the
essentials which the World-
Herald employs on their road to
success.
The "Cleaned them out in
great shape" postal given us bj
C. II. Bradley , -representing
Swift & Co. , was certainly a
"hummer1' exemplifying thai
firm's many reliahle resources
In connection with their postal
souvenir , was a neat little cellu
loid data card.
Indeed that little paper
weight was "not so slow" when
so ably represented by Floyt
M. Smith , secretary and treasurer -
urer of the M. E. Smith & Co.
Dry Goods , also Joseph Kelley ,
sales manager. We have seen
others more swift than the tur.
tie , but none more sure or swift
in advance than the above com-
pany.
M. A. Pillsbury , of the United
States Supply Co. , gave us a
pointer in the way of a neat
gun metal stick pin.
All hail ! to the jolly King of
Ak-sar-ben , 1) . ,1. O'Brien , pres
ident of the .1. D. O'Brien Candy
Co. .May your reign be as tri
umphant as your own individu
ality is regal. We are not
advocates of a monarchial form
of government but \ve do know
that with such a King as .1. D.
O'Brien , not one could be found
but whom would deem it a pleas
ure to be numbered among his
sulnects.
Frank W. Judson , secretary
uul manager of the Midland
Glass i < c Paint Co. , needs no
other eulogy than that he
should be in the first ranks of
Omaha's Knights.
Nearly a quarter of a century
igo we met K. B. Wallace , of
.he Hotel Reporter. He was
'resh from Monmouth college
ind we were somewhat fresher
.han we are feeling these days.
For two years we were associ
ated as employer and employee
which were most pleasantly
spent and our short visit on
this occasion , our first meeting
since that period , gave us but
in opportunity to compare the
"silver threads among the gold , "
and bid farewell with the words
of Wadsworth flitting through
our mind of "That best portion
of a good man's life , his little
nameless , unremembered acts of
kindness and of love. "
Geo. II. Gillespie , manager of
the Daily News and Chas. E.
Dullie , of the Omaha trade ex
hibit , were here in full uniform ,
which means that we know two
enterprising and live business
men.
men.F.
F. King , president of the
King-Graham Mfg. Co. , weds
no introduction to our public ,
having attained success by
thoroughly honorable business
methods.
R. II. Yale , secretary of the
Demster Mill Mfg. Co. , "blew
away" after presenting us with
a neat ribbon and windmill de
sign stick-pin.
Guy II. Pratt , representative
of the Nebraska Telephone Co. ,
is too wise to remain ( to use a
slightly worn expression ) in the
shade. It is a pleasure to num
ber him among one's acquaint
ances.
N. J. Baker , manager Baker
Bros. Engraving Co. landed
with all sails set , knowing that
he is representing a firm that
believes the road to success is
attained by giving their patrons
the best and most reliable on
the market.
L R. Bunn , of the Boyle's
business college should be proud
to be numbered at the head of
such a praise-worthy educa
tional institution. 'Nough said !
"Watch out for me ! " says .J.
F. Mawhinney , secretary and
treasurer of the Mawhinney it
Ryan Jewelry Co. , and the one
he gave us was a neat one , and
in keeping with a firm of such
widespread lame.
Clan gordan piper , J , C
Buchanan , is one of the real
live Scotchmen of Omaha , and
did himself proud as an artist.
One of the local employee at the
station inquired the kind of a
tune Mr. Buchanan was render
ing and was thereafter appreci
ative when one of the knights
answered "A car-toon. "
The Martin-Cott Hat Co. was
ably represented by J. C. Ochil-
tree , their secretary.
Louis R. Bostwick , the com
mercial photographer , took a
number of good local views
which we are sure are a valued
addition to his excellent collec
tion.
i That cap we are wearing was
given up by 11. G. Miller , of the
Gate City Hat Co. , and is "good
goods "
Geo. Rogers , of the Poregoy
it Moore Co. , passed around the
restful "weed" and did himself
: ) roud , as the good fellow he is
11 ways.
11. D. Rice in the interest of
.he Allen Bros. Co. , brought to
nind the fact that the A. B. C.
jrand is a No. 1 A class article.
F. 11. Wilhelm , of the Orchard
t Wilhelm , made us the receiver
of an elegant patent adjuster
tape measure , over which we
low keep a watchful eye , lest
someone find ifs attractions too
.empting.
If anyone can tell us a more
genial prince than W. It. Head ,
with the Lininger Implement
Co. , we "want to know. " This
Inn is a successor to the Lenin-
ger-Matcalf Co. , and needs no
commendation as they stand
erect among the largest of
Omaha's business managements.
Their souvenir deserves special
nention.
Win. L. Yetter and Geo. N.
Douglas were representatives of
the Wm. L. Yetter Wall Paper
Co. , and pasted them up right.
The Stewart Bros. Grocery
Co. was kept in prominence by
B. W. Cotton and we are sure
they could not have been more
efficiently represented.
The Marks Bros. Saddlery Co.
lad one of the neatest pins for
their badges , in the entire lot ,
consisting of a star and crescent.
The legal side made no mis
take in having S. Scale among
the trade boosters.
Byrne it Hammer Dry Goods
Co. . was here in person of Dan'l
B. Fuller. This firm now has
under construction magnificent
new quarters to be completed
December 1 , ' 0(5. (
This would not be half way
complete did we fail to mention
the favors from Harry Tostcvin ,
representing the Great Western
Type Foundry. The last three
words were accorded by location
and business and the first by
their successful career.
The three brewing companies ,
Krug , Mettz and Storx , hold
their own anywhere.
Last , but far from the least
in importance , is J. II. Taylor ,
vice president and secretary of
the F. P. Kirkendall Boot &
Shoe Co. Their useful and ele
gant souvenir , a small paper
knife , is a model of perfection ,
and in accordance to the giver's
request , upon presentation of
the same , we will "cut them all
out for him. "
With fifty-two towns on their
schedule we are glad that we
were able to enjoy an hour's
visit from these gentlemen.
In the crowd were F. W. .Jud
son , president ; J. E. George ,
secretary ; J M. Gould , secre
tary exchange ; W. L. Yetter ,

all to attend their Ak-sar-bei
