24 THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: PUN HAY, MARCH 30, 1002. BIRTH OF OMAHA'S BUSINESS Genesis- of the Jobbing Trade of the Gate Citj Briefly Told. tARLY TRIUMPH OF THE "ONE-LINERS' tCTOlatloa of Merchandising Throaaa , tha Oeaeral Store (p to the Pres ent Era of Wholesale and i Retail Emporlams. Vl tld-tme merchants look upon the devel opment of tbe "department store" Idea pith intereat. aa It is a complete reversal kf the experience which they gained In bus iness but few years ago, for the first stores io open In tbe country were "department it ores" In all but name and sits. One of these old-time merchants, who has retired Jrom that line of business, said during the peek: "The flret atores to be opened In Omaha ere placea where everything demanded by pan, except those things which were the immediate product of the soil, could be urchased. We carried not only dry goods nd groceries, but hardware, furniture and lothlng. This lasted for ten years or such i matter, and then the single line stores lame. It was then proven to the satlsfac II on of all concerned that the man or firm Irhtch gave undivided attention to one line C merchandise could buy cheaper and sell wer than the general merchant and ell of the general stores gradually dropped line Ifter line until they carried but one. The levelopment began generally by dropping (urnlture, then hardware went, then the kroceries, then the clothing, after that the boots and shoes, and dry goods alone re gained; some of the houses carried a line. pt millinery for a while, but It speedily rave away to tbe one-line house. Now the sne-Hne houses are organizing for self protection from destruction at the hands if the department store. Another genera tion has dlacovered what we could not find tut, and that la bow to combine lines of merchandise upon a cheaper basis than lould be done by the merchants carrying but one line." Omaha Pioneer Stores. There is a question aa to what' firm Opened tbe first store of any else In the pity of Omaha, the houses of Tootle & Jack Ion and Megeath Bros, & Co. having been astablished about the same time. The first If theav houses bad for lta senior partner kllton Tootle, a man who was interested M that time and in later years in a Burn er of atores along the Missouri river, hav- g had one at St. Joseph, one at Sioux City, one at Omaha and two at Council Bluffs. The Junior partner 'resided in this Mty for some time and conducted the local business. Tbe second firm waa composed of James Ind Samuel Megeath and a Mr. Richards of Baltimore, Md. It was conducted on Far ham atreet for several years and afterward iassed Into the hands of Megeath, Whitney ft Co., by whom it was discontinued after leveral rears. Tbe general store of Tootle ft Jackson developed into a wholesale bouse. Upon tbe retirement of Mr. Jackson be waa suc ceeded by William O. Maul, now vice presi dent of the Commercial National bank, and the title waa changed to Tootle ft Maul. A few years later William Koch was ad mitted to the firm and It "-as known as Tootle, Maul ft Co. They retired from the retail trade and entered tbe wholesale field, kit lines other than dry goods having been dropped after Mr. Maul entered the firm. Upon the death of Milton Tootle the hold ings of Tootle ft Maul passed Into the hands of Thomas Kllpatrlck and the firm of Kll-patrlck-Koch Dry Goods company was formed, which continued for many years. Mr. Koch now travels for the Williams Shoe Company and Mr. Kllpatrlck Is at the head of the retail dry goods house of that name. Oldest Coattaaoos House. This house Is probably the oldest con tinuous house In the city, although It has passed through several handa, but having two men Interested In It as principal owners since its foundation. It Is the direct suc cessor of the house of Rose ft Crutkshank, Which was opened in Omaha in 1866. The silent partner, but heaviest holder in that house was N. B. Falconer. The house con tinued in the name of the men who first opened It for some time, when as a result of financial difficulties It was succeeded by the firm of A. Crulkshank ft Co., of which Mr. Falconer was a recognized member. This firm continued for about ten years when it was succeeded by N. B. Falconer personally, who several years later aold to Thomas Kllpatrlck ft Co. Ons of the first merchants of the city waa the late J. J. Brown, who, with his brother, R. A. Brown, opened a store carry ing a general stock near Fourteenth and Douglas streets. The firm of Brown Bros. Was dissolved after a few years and R. A. Brown entered business on his own ac count near the quarters of the old Ann. J. J. Brown continued the original store for a time and then went Into the wholesale trade. The store of R. A. Brown remained In the retail trade until he retired from business. Loyal Is. Smith's Boom. One of the great sensations of the Omaha dry goods trade was the advent of. Loyal L. Smith, who began business In this city about 1883. He opened with a flourish of trumpets and a cutting of prices which astonished all dealers and customers Goods could be bought at the house of Smith tor less thaa they coat the dealer In New York. The desire for trade was so great In tha mind of the manager of that store that he drew upon tbe entire state. Special trains were run from surrounding towns, bringing to Omaha free of charge ths persons who were to purchase goods from the emporium which had sprung up as Jonah's gourd. Business men stood sghaat at the temerity of tbe young "Na poleon of the yardstick," but the Inevitable ' crash came whea It was found that, backed by good credit, Mr. Smith bad avoided the necessity for paying for any of the goods. His sales, aside from rent and clerk hire, were all profit for the time. Talk of prosecution resulted In uothlng, for It waa a case of "first catch your man," and tha enterprising Mr. Smith refused to be caught. The sequel of this Omaha experi ence was told several years later. Mr. Smith went to that 111-deflned territory known aa "tbe eaat." Nothing was heard of him for many years and bis skyrocket career had passed Into tradition and Its history to tha loss account on the ledgers of ths wholesale houses, when Mr. Smith suddenly came to life and paid every cred itor In full. He Is now a millionaire of New York and la considered one of the most conservative and at the same time fearless of the men who operate on "ths Street." mo Others that Are Goaa. One of the houaea which before this time lid a large business In ths city was that If Stevens ft V.'llcox. They maintained an establishment on Farnain street for several fears and suspended business after a sea Ion of "bard times." Tha first exclusive grocery house in the city wss that of John McCormick ft Co. which occupied quarters on Farnam atreet. .This bouse wss the forerunner of a whole sale grocery house, one of tbe first to do tmslnesa In ths city. Ths wholesale trade of the city was caused by ths development el the country to the west snd was to all Intents and pur poses a combination trade, each of the houses at first doing a retail as well aa a wholesale business. As tbe demands from the Interior towns Increased and tbe ra II rosds reached Omaha, where goods were transferred and sent to the west by wagon or to tbe north by ateamboat, the bouses which bad developed the largest trade In wholesale lines dropped the retail business and devoted their entire time to Jobbing. In this way most of the wholesale houses along tbe river in every line were started and today they dominate the trade of the west. Try the Chicago laundry. 'Phone 208. Horses clipped.
