those who luivo tried it and derived bon-
ollt from it , iint as I hero is none so
grossly misumlorstocnl by those who

their Impressions hapha/'ird.
Credit Isusold nseomni9rc < jnnd with

fall to pieces. What the People's Mam
moth IiHtallnionl lloaso does Is nothing
inoro or loss tbiin to o.xtnnd the methods
In vogue in the great business world at
liiriro to private and domestic life.
Political economists uro still far [ mm
being in accord as to what are the limi
tations of the power of credilund remain
much tit sou as to ft comprehension of
the methods by which it accomplishes
its wondeis but there can bo very little
doubt that , the system , as applied to the
furnishing of homes , has boon attended
with the most gratifying results and has
carried happiness and comfort to thous
ands whcn'thoy otherwise would h.ivo .
been denied or deferred.
In the natural history of exchange
barter came lirst and then s lie with out
monov as a medium and then credit.
Nations iiavo bcoti established or. and
arcst'll ' conducted through it ; wars have
been proHoi'ulou1 by it ; few churches or
public eiitcrprlsL's'huvo boon carried out
without it , and. indeed , it may bo said
to enter essentially into the conduct of
most of the wcrUf's everyday ulTnirs.
The fr.riiiL'r whose grain is rimming or
the merchant whoso consignment is on
the sou or rail would bo in n bad way if
ho was invariably obliged to wait until
the product bad actually ontorcd into
other hands before he could consider it
as iv p.irt of his possessions. The nation
al banks arc conducted on a credit sys
tem , and why should not the principle
boextended to the purchase of the average -
ago man or family in establishing mid
adorning their homo ? Credit multiplies
both ( ho producing mid consuming HOW-
or of society , for by facilitating exchange
it neeoloratcH and increases It. The very
word answers for the thing it Indicates.
It supposeHconfidence. Confiding in the
good will and honor nnd intelligence of
ttho purchaser , the Boiler has , as u last
resort , the law to protect his rights.
For yo'trs the People's Mammoth In
stallment House have been the pioneers
in Iho erelil business in Omaha , and in
deed in this country.
The principles they actontod yours ago
have been carried out over since by Iho
llrm , with such modifications as the
limes and increasing class of patronage
required , .lust as it is said poets and
hotel-keepers are born , not made , .so Mr.
U. Kosonlhnl , the lioad of the linn and
general manager , has peculiar uduptu-
tioijs for the business in which ho is so
MioeossfUl. Customer : ) always see him.
Kvoiy move and every detail in his
great establishment ho is thoroughly
familiar with , llu knows the bales that
are made , the payments , and within and

personal attention to all transactions
which is so necessary in the successful
conduct of such extensive operations.
For the heads of ills dllTcrdnt depart

Several of thorn have already ucoiovcd
success in other largo establishments.
No linn is inoro liberal in its treatment
of its employes than the People's Mam

men having boon with them since they

The People's Mammoth Installment
House is 0110 that has the confidence of
the people , and It continues to preserve
it by adhering to the cardinal points of
"Good poods , honest prices , lair dealing
and easy terms. " A child can bo sent
with un order and bo as honestly dealt
with as the most oxporloneod adult pur
chaser , and-people wlrti have tried vari
ous establishments and credit houses say
that they can purchase at from twenty-
live to forty par cent cheaper from the
People's Mammoth Installment House
than they can elsewhere.
Everybody \ welcome the workingman -
man , the mechanic and the dork , as well
ns the prosperous householder. It is , in
deed , the great cosinopolitin credit
houo of the day. There can bo no doubt
that the wonderful success of the llrm
as evidenced in this great Improvement ,
is duo to Iho open and straightforward
basis upon which the business is con
ducted. There are no concealments , no
misrop-o-icnt-itions , but everything is
open and above board.
The sl/.o of the purchase is not lim
ited. II the purchaser can bo trusted a
liltlo tlie.v can ho trusted more. The
terms are always made to suit , so that it
's nnssib'o for any hone t-nilndcd and in-
ontioncd purchaser to go to the 1'oo-
jilu's Mammoth Installment tlouso and
; el what they need and there tire few
hings Iliat cannot bo found under that
wonderful roof. Deserving customers
ire always treated leniently and consid
erately , and as to the purchasers them
selves , satisfaction is always guaranteed ,

uyA price , the goods olTcred in every do-
Kirtment are as low as the same in
my cash house , and lower than can bo
obtained in other inst-ilhnctit establish-
nonts. if you doubt it , make the com
parison and see for yaur = olf. All In all ,
.hough known as a credit house , and
riving such , liberal terms , the People's
Mammoth Installment llouso has placed
tsclf on a par with any cash house in
Omaha ,
It is out of the question to Imagine
my economic movement independent of
Iho mainspring of credit , when , ox-
. 'bango ecii-os to aim merely at thosutis.-
'actionof the immediate wants of two con
tracting parties , credit becomes indis-
ptfisable. A farmer's s-on inherits a
niece of land that , if cleared , will atTord
lilm the means of suppo t ; a clerk pos
sessed of activity , intelligence and
knowledge ofhiHlnosri which would make
him a successful merchant , wishes to
open a "tore ; a merchant bkilled in his
I rail o and assured of a ready stile for his
handiwork' , wishes to start a shop. It
is clear that if Iho farmer's sou must
yaj 'cash for the agricultural imple
ment * ami seeds ho needs , the clerk for
the metelmniliso lie is to sell , and the
mechanic for the raw nritorlnl ho is to
use in his work , the elTorts of each to
advance \\ill bo impo siblo. It is credit
alone that enables them to overcome the
dilliculty.
That i'j ' what an institution ' and sys
tem like that of tho'People's Mammoth
Installment House does for tho-working-
man , the clerk , the mechanic and the
iiiau or woman who labor in any capac
ity , as well as for those possessed of
available means. All laboring people
practically have to wait u wool : for their
wage , aflwit is no uncommon thing for
professional and other men to have to
wail a month , or months , for their earn
ings. Often there are things they need
thin"- , that are absolutely essential to
their comfort nnd welfare , and ; t system
that enables them to proJiiro what they
desire , and pay for it according to their
convenience , not only contributes to the
individual Happiness of themselves , but
is nn clr-iimit Uselfin sustaining the ac
tivity of trade.
It is to credit alone , it das been well
sa'il ' by one of the mo-it eminent authori
ties'that ' wo are indebted for that inter
mediate ngi'ttt which plays so important
a part in the transaction of business ;
without credit this go-between is mostly
impossible. The mfllor , whoso whole for
tune consols of two wheelswhich grind
hi- , grain , the fall of iho water which
grinds hih grain , the fall of the water
wh eh covers them , would not bo able ,
with tno best intentions in the world , to
piy the farmer for grain which ho is to
make into Hour until ho himself has gold
his Hour ami received piy therefor from
the baker , who had delivered it as bread
to his customers. The merchant who
engages in deliver to his customers cloth
or linen made inonio remote manufac
tory cannot give the manufacturer its
equivalent until ho himself lias sold the
merchandise ; that is , unless , as bo often
happens with the People's Mammoth
Installment House , who have the capital
and can do so and take advantage of the
discount.
Tnero are cases where credit is n su
preme necessity because , in the econo
mic movement of society , everything is
conducted like the links of a chain.
The farmer who cannot got the pay for
his grain until tliroo months after ho
has delivered it , cannot buy for cash the
cattle ho needs meantime.

system , and why should it not bo ox-
tcnilod to the workingmun and the honso-
holder and the mother of the family. If
the credit system is liberal then it will
often run more smoothly in the larger
and more complicated channels.
Thus credit gives birth to botli Indus
try and trade which could not oxibt
without It , mid at tlmos it prevents their
stoppage or getting bluggiuh.
Hani ; notes , discounts , oven the bill
of exchange Itself , uro not necessarily
constituent elements of the credit sya-
tern. During thb Middle ARCS credit
transactions of great Importance and
long time were made without the inter
vention of any of those mentis or the
slightest tn.co of wilting , and oven
today the Russian prouucois and mer
chants contract credit obligations for
twelve month's time without giving the
least evidence of thn debt , for the ncces-
ary reason that as a rule they can neither
read nor \\rito.
The service thus rendered to the
economy of a nation by credit is great
enough" warrant the gratitude of
modern society in which it has acquired
n development hitherto unknown. It is
the only thing known that Keeps up wcr-
petnal motion The economic machin
ery of society seems to .stand still , to
slacken its motion or to accelerate its
speed in proportion as credit disappears
or grow ? fcoolo or revives. The activity
if production and consumption of wealth
hi any country or city is greater , inoro
I'cnornl , more fruitful , Justus csoait is
inoro or loss developed. Few things
under more service to the material rnd
intellectual , it mlgfit almost bo said the

ATTRACTIVE FURNITURE.

It is a curious fact that the history of
furniture has been contemporaneous j
with the political independence and the
material prosperity of the average mini
Kxoniuchltceture does not toll the ups
and downs of mankind 'o thoroughly a-
thu objects that are idontilied wtth'his
daily life and domestic eomfurt.
No popu'ar ' error is so common a * the
ono that articles of domestic use in the
household have had n steady develop
ment tliiough the eontu.'ics ! ' and been
elaborated from the simplest forms to
those more complex and luxurious , such
as uro now found in iho great empori
ums
Not only is the story of our furniture ,
of our chaiis and tables , the story of art
itself , but it is the story of tho'human
race. It has gone up and down , ll > iclut- ;
ting with the varying fortunes and Intol-
igencf ) of nations and peoples. Skipping
the Indian and Oriental races with tlieir
sculptured utensils and rich colors and
their divnns'ind rich fabrics , art in fur
niture had alicady rcivcho.1 great devel
opment when the CjrypUan led the
world. He had his Icds of cedar sup
ported on feet carved , painted and cov
ered with the finestdiaperies as well as
chairs of turned wood , and vases mir
rors and small articles of convenience
worn in the greatest ubuml'ince.
The Cireeks , living so much in public
and holding their dwellings and women
in small esteem contributed but little to
thn development of furniture , but the
Romans can led the art of household
dec-ration to a point where fancy sonmeu
to have reached its limit. When Koine
loll all that had been accomplished in
household elegance fell with it , and for
centuries the industrial arts wore dead.
Slowly , after the Dark Ages and Char
lemagne the bench became again a
chair , the armor chest n couch , woman's
ascendancy began and the comforts and
convenience of the household began to
receive attention.

An important branch nf the furniture

in there on another nritloron Thutsdnj.
Ho was astonished to notice them un
packing pomo curtains now in material ,
a sort of knotted
cheese cloth and exquisite -
quisito in blue and brown combinations.
There wore rows of blue cilk stripes
ibovo and below and a narrow chenilo
fringe border. They were just the cur
tains ho had boon looking for. They
were by no means common. With his
prejudice against installment houses
greatly shattered , bo noverthcli'ss wont
lo several largo establishments- , expect
ing to find the same article. Failing
everywhere he came back in a few
hour. " , but
too late the curtains wore
gone , and ho left fooling like kicking
hinuelf for his proo usUnution.
The curtain display is really excellent
and the selections show t isle , ind include
many novelties and entirely neu things
not to bo found elsewhere. There is a ,
large collection of lace curl ilns , rang

mukcs up for whatever else is mis-iing
in u room. The. walls may look bare ,
the chairs' may bo old , the sofa dingy ,
and there may bo very little in iho
loom , but if the carpet is good the plaeo
lojks comfortable and furnished , with
a now carpet it only takes a few addi- ,
lions to make a room look elegant. It
makes the toilet of a room , and without ,
it all is wanting , just like a lady , olhor-
wi-o well dressed , who spoils and "gives
it all away" by wearing shabby shoes.
The color of a , carput .should always
bo chosen in keeping witli the general
design of Iho room , the wall paper , the

Kvoryono according to taste , but in
general the color for a dining room or
hall should bo darker or more''solid"
than for a parlor , while that for a bed
room should , If possible , bo lighter than
either. Whenever the carpet eovors the

Ihu entire pattern plain and unbroken.
U'hatovur tno cnrpot determined upon ,
whether rich or the lowest in price , a
