clothing samples from clothing
representatives and make a busi
ness out of selling them.
That’s the idea behind Sa mple
Outlet, a shop full of sample gar
ments, jewelry and accessories
that sales reps from manufactur
ers show to clothing stores. And
Marilyn White, part owner of the
Sample Outlet, says as far as she
knows, the idea — and the shop
— are unique to Lincoln.
White says most of the cloth
ing at the Sample Outlet is me
dium sized — sizes eight to ten.
Although there is some “college
type" clothing, White says, most
of the garments are for working
women from 25 to 40 years of
age.
The clothing is priced about
40 to 60 percent less than retail,
White say.^, and ranges from
casual sweats to party dresses.

Antiques, restaurants to move in
By Cindy Wostrel
Staff Reporter
Three more buildings in the
Haymarket will be turning pages in
their individual histories inis win
ter when three new' businesses move
in, according to the Historic Hay
market district’s program assistant.
Sally Ogiesby said the buildings
will house two new restaurants
and an antique store that is moving
from another building in the Hay
market.
Lazio’s, a restaurant serving a
variety of food; La Paloma, a Mexi
can restaurant, and Conner’s Archi
tectural Antiques will move into
the Haymarket buildings next year.
La Paloma’s building, built in
1881, is the oldest building in the
Haymarket district and the oldest
commercial building in Lincoln,
according to owner Art Jimenez.
The former Beatrice Creamery
building, at 7th and P streets, has
been renamed The Creamery. The
new owners will renovate the inte
rior to make way for an antique
store and possibly office space,
said Sid Conner, a partner in the
project.
Nine to 12 buildings in the dis
trict remain empty or underused,
Oglesby said, and are “ripe'' for
expansion.
The building that Lazio’s is
moving into in February is about 60
years old and was once a ware
house, said partner Scott Boles.
A brewery will be installed in
Lazio’s and will cost more than
$100,000, Boles said. About 120
U.S. restaurants have in-house
breweries, he said, about half of
which are in California. He said the
idea began there about 12 years
ago.
The process allows for fresher
beer without additives or preserva
tives, he said.
“It doesn’t gel better with age,”
he said.
Lazio’s will feature a casual set
ting with exposed brick walls and
wood floors, he said. It also will
have food grilled over a fire of
hickory wood, he said.
Everything from steak to chicken
to soup will be offered, he said. A
typical lunch might cost about $5
and a dinner that includes every
thing would be about $10 to $12,
he said.
The Haymarket location of La
Paloma, 8th and Q streets, is unique
and complementary to its planned
casual Southwestern setting, Jimenez
said.
He said the restaurant, sched
uled to open in January, should
case pressure on the other l,a Pa
loma in the Havelock area and fill
the void left when Arturo’s left the
I laymarket district.
During the summer, Jimenez
plans to offer a sidewalk cafe, which
would be the first one in Lincoln,
he said.
The food probably will range
from 99 cents to $6.50 for a five-to
six-course meal, he said.
La Paloma, which means dove
in English, will have a bar and
serve individually made margari
tas, Jimenez said, it aiso win u a
“margarita pies,” which taste like
cheesecake but are a little sweeter,
he said.
The restaurants are, “both filling
niches that need filling,” Oglesby
said.
The Haymarket district’s offer
ings now range from seafood to
Indian food to sandwiches and
soup. And they range from casual
to fine dining.
And an antique store already in
the district is changing Haymarket
locations in order to expand its
facilities.
Conner’s Architectural Antiques
and Always Christmas Shop will
move from its 247 N. 8 St. to T he
Creamery, 701 P St., next summer.
Conner said he and Cheryl
Conner bought the building to al
low expansion of its current facili
ties and to have more nearby park
ing spaces.
He said renovations will proba
bly cost about $200,000 to $240,000.
The changes include new light
fixtures, a staircase, tin ceilings and
oak flooring, all in keeping with
the early 1900s time period. The
first two floors were built in 1894,
he said, and the top two floors
were added about 1907.
The Conners like the Haymarket
district, where Conner’s Architec
tural Antiques has been located for
three and a half years, he said.
"It’s very conducive to the types
of things we like to sell," he said. ‘It
puls people in the mood for buy
ing antiques."

“People will come in with a
certain kind of decor and will want
their floral arrangements” to reflect
that era, Phelps said.
For example, Phelps said, fruits
were a popular part of colonial
Christmas decorations, and dried
arrangements go well with country
or Victorian styles
During the summer, Phelps said
she recreated the Victorian era for
several weddings in the area. She
said this look has really taken off in
the past three to four years.
1 ne Victorian look includes a lot
of lace and many kinds of flowers
used together, Phelps said. Mauve,
pink, white, dark green and some
deep blue colors are characteristic
of Victorian-style decor, she said.
Phelps’ shop is spending its third
Christmas in the Haymarket, she
said, and she gets about three or
four orders for Christmas arrange
ments each day.
“We also sell a lot of Christmas
presents,” she said.
