At the semi-centennial of the state of Ne
braska draws near, It people can panne
for moment and, looking bark over past
year, view the progress made since first
It became a state. In prairie has given
way to rich farms, Its sand hills and sage
brush supply a good portion of the meat
of the world and the old-time frontier town
has passed Into the thriving city. And
with the mighty strides of the state ha
kept pace Its chief center. Omaha. Keep
ing well to the forefront In the Industries
of the land It is rapidly advancing to that
stage when It shall be truly the gates of
the west. But not alone In commerce Is
the city advancing; it Is a!fo becoming
Known as the educational centef of the
western empire. The north, south and west
have for soma time recognized Omaha as
the school of the west and now the east
Is getting to know It. Besides Its high
schools and colleges which have gained re
nown, Omaha Is becoming famous for Its
business colleges. Fnrpasslng the other
western cities In the number of Institutions
and the methods of education It has drawn
pupils from every western state and oc
casionally from the .eastern ones.
The oldest among these Institutions In
the city Is the Omaha Commercial college,
which was started in 18M. Opening with
forty pupils it now has l.ino persons at
tending annually. Mr. Rohrbough, one of
tha pioneers in the movement, speaking1
cf the growth of the school and the effect
it has on tha city, said:
' Pays City Well.
"BInce tha opening of tho school twenty
years ago, I have reckoned that the city
has benefited from It to the extent of over
H.W0.000. I take that each pupil from out
of tha town during the six months' course
circulates 1120, this to Include tuition fees,
etc. About half of our pupils are from
outside of the city and I attribute this
fact to advertising in the press. It Is nec
essary to let the publio know you have
something to give them before they will
Inquire for It and there Is no better way
of letting the public know a thing than
through the medium of the advertisement
columns. I have found that The Bee Is
i read by a very large class of intelligent
' people people who are Interested In educa
tionand a continuous advertising In the
, 'want ad' column of The Bee has proven
' one of my best movements."
The mere fact of the Omaha Commercial
college having 1,100 students speaks for the
excellence of the Institution. Bexldes the
regular business course, there Is a tele
graph department, an orchestra, a brass
band and athletic teams of no mean re
pute. It is in every sense a college. Added
to these advantages Mr. Mosher, one of the
taff, has compiled a shorthand system
named after him, which is said by critics
to be superior to any. This system Is
taught In the college. Taking the standard
. of the school from the results of the teach
ing Imparted, one has but to visit any of
tho largo commercial houses In the city and
It will be found that among the ablest
are tha graduates of the Omaha Com-
. nierclal college.
AaTertlsin- BIsT Help.
Among the best known and equipped in
stitution" of Its kind, not only in Omaha,
but In the entire west. Is that established
and maintained by H. B. Boyles. Constant
and Judicious advertising, systematic busi
ness method and fne faculty of giving
rehie received in every instance has caused
' the fama of Boyle's Business college to be
come spread broadcast and the institution
' Itself to- be considered as one of the sub-
1 manual and best of the many gooa Busi
ness preparatories of the United States.
But few of the business colleges are wider
in their scope and. none more carefully con-
' ducted with the view of the greatest bene
fit to their attendant. The growth of this
, Institution baa been little short of phe
. ' nomenaL. In 1837 Mr. Boy Lee Tented a room
la tha Be building and Invested a few
dollars In the want ad. column of the pa
per. Tho results were, as usual. Instan
taneous and satisfactory, and tha same
operation repeated dally and weekly In In
creasing measure, together with the first
claas system of the school adopted from
the vary start, very quickly made the roonT
first engaged Inadequate to tha demand for
apace. Another was added, and another,
and atill others, until all the vacant rooms
that the Bee building had were drafted Into
use, and mora were needed. Then It was
that Mr. Boyles rented practically an entire
floor of the New York Life building and
transferred bis school to that location.

changes made that converted the space
Into an Ideal location. Here the institution
has since been, with an ever Increasing
business and acope and with an ever lb
r tracing patronage by Its ue of the adver
tising columns of The Bee. And now even
these quarters are outgrown. With char
acteristlc progresslveneaa Mr. Boyles ha
not hesitated to arrange for the erection
of a building of his own that, belts; planned
for the purpose which H will erve. will
be one of the most complete and best
adapted business colleges ever built. It Is
to be located at the corner of Eighteenth
and Harney streets, and while a descrip
tion of It would be Impossible In the space
afforded In these columns, an Idea may be
gained of what it will be from the fact
that the entire basement will be divided
Into two complete gymnasiums, with all
kinds of baths and Improved apparatus for
the use of the students. One hundred type
writers, each In its separate cabinet, la
another Item that will convey some Idea
as to the magnitude of the Institution. The
ceilings of the rooms will be fourteen feet
high and all other sanitary precautions
will be looked out for on the same gener
ojs scale. The average dally attendance
of Mr. Boyles' college Is at present more
than 300 pupils and the possibilities that are
still open to him are practically unlimited.
Said Mr. Boyles: "Frankly, I must say
that a very large proportion of not only
our first, but our continued and ever In
creasing success Is due to the use of the
advertising columns of The Bee, and more
particularly to the use of the little 'want'
ads. that are so small, but that are so
far-reaching and fun of results.
Biggest Single Advertiser.
"My start as an advertiser," continued
Mr. Boyles, "was a little want ad. In the
columns of The Bee. I am still using
want ads. and am probably the largest
single user of want ad. space In The Bee.
I regard The Bee want ad. page as the
most Important piece of machinery In the
work of building up Boyles' college. It
brought me results from the start. An in
crease of space and everlasting keeping
'at It' has britught us ever Increasing re
turns. J regard Tho Bee's the best want
ad. medium In this part of the west and I
am always willing to tell others how what
ever success I have gained has been
achieved." i
Another Institution of the sama order
which has sprang Into strong prominence
during the last few" years Is tho Nebraska
Business and Shorthand college. Like its
sister schools a good part of the students
are from other states. This college is run
exactly as If it were a business house.
From the time the student enters the doors
to the time he leaves ho is considered as
an employe of a large commercial house.
He has various duties to perform, books
to keep, letters to write , exactly as he
would be required to do In a counting
house. The school has a model bank and
college currency. When tha student reaches
a pertain stage he Is allowed a certain
amount of this currency, which he has to
answer for. The Idea of having a model
bank, run like any other bank in the city,
has proved an excellent one, and there Is
always a constant demand from banks in
the city and state for the pupils who have
taken the course. During the first years
of Its Inclplency the Institution did little
advertising, trusting to the conservative
Idea, that an educational Institution should
be known by Its work. But before long the
management found, out that to gain favor
with the public It was necessary to let ths
public know what It had to offer. "Dif
ferent, mediums of advertisement were
tried." said Prof. Ong, the head of the
school, "but so far as we have been able to
Judge the public press has brought better
returns for the money expended than any
other medium."
And Papa, Harried Home,
The classified want ads of The Bee are
probably read by a greater number than
any other page of tho paper. We have
used these columns of The Bee for several
years and our business has more than
doubled In that time. What success we
have attained wo believe can largely be
attributed to the continuous use of this
medium. We know Tho Beo reaches a very
large class of Intelligent readers. The sub
scribers are select and the returns are so
satisfactory that we shall continue to use
Its columns In the future more than ever.
Perhaps a more direct way of showing
that a Bee want ad draws trade is the
following example. J. C. Huteson & Co.,
opticians, some months ago got out the
"Patent Slip Not" rimless eyeglasses and
put In the following advertisement In the
want ad column of The Bee:
PAPA Hurry home. Msmma wsnt you to
get me a pair of Huteson' "Patent Slip
Not" rimless eyeglasses. They're Just too
swell, can c snaxe on. zia s. lfitn. t ainto.
t U-764 FU
These eyeglasses were advertised In The
Bee and the next day no less than a dozen
persons Inquired at the store for them.
The same advertisement was continued for
several weeks In The Bee before It ap
peared in any other paper, and It continued
to bring from ten to fifteen people to the
store a day, besides considerable corre
spondence. This so Impressed the Arm that
since then an advertisement among the

and Mr. Huteson says he considers The Bee
the best medium for advertising.
DUtaare All Competitors.
Arrong the Industries that Omaha may
well be proud of. Is the Omaha Plating com
pany. Prior to the time of their com
mencement In 1898, there were Ave other
concerns of the same order In the city.
Today It is the only exclusive plating com
pany that exists, and this, the manager,
Mr. Slavin, says is due chiefly to adver
tising. The company has a well-equipped
plant, large vats and has gained a reputa
tion for fine work which Is testified to by
the amount of orders they receive. The
firm promises good work In Its advertise
ment and Mr. Slavin sees that the promise
Is made good.
AH that modern science and skill can
do, Is done. Before an article is plated it
has to go through repeated washings In
chemicals. Then when all the superfluous
matter Is washed away It Is put Into the
vats. If the article was put Into the vats
before being properly cleansed the plating
would chip off after a few weeks' wear.
Speaking of the success of the company,
Mr. Slavin said:
"Don't fool the public. From the first
day that I opened this business I told the
people In my advertising what I could 'do
for them and I did It. I advertised In the
'want ad' columns of The Bee and thus
reached the class of people I wanted. My
competitors did not advertise and I am the
only one left In the field now. I am a con
stant advertiser In The Bee; that shows
that I am getting good returns for my In
vestment."
Want Ads Talk.
The Columbia Phonograph company of
1621 Farnam street, sole sales agents for
the American Oraphophone company of
Bridgeport, Conn., the largest manufac
turers of talking machines and records In
the world, are the only manufacturers of
this class of goods, having their own
branch in Omaha. This branch is in charge
of Mr. L. K. Lee, manager, who Is as
sisted by Mr. C. L. Jones and a corps of ;
well-trained sales people. They have
pushed the talking machine business until
It has assumed immense : roportions,
Omaha standing well up In a list of nearly
forty branch offices. "Advertising," said
Mr. Lee, "has played no small part in the
success that we have gained in Omaha.
We feel, of course, that we have the only !
graphophones on the market and In our
advertising we endeavor to Impress this
on the public. Wo started our want adver
tising by offering our XP rocorda In The
'Bee Want Ad' column, and from sales
that w were able to trace directly to this
advertising we were convinced that this
was a paying Investment. Since then w
have been continuous users of The 'Bee
Want Ad' columns."
Schmoller at Muellr., the leading piano
house In Omaha, Is one of the largest
handlers and manufacturers of pianos west
of Chicago. The heads of this successful
business frankly admit a very large part
of their business has come to them through
advertising. "Ot course," they say, "after
thelads bring us the people, we have to
supply them with such a quality cf goods
and at. such terms that they are pleased
and continue to do business with us. But
the ads bring them."
This house was established less than ten
years ago,, but owing to thebuslness fore,
thought and discretion of the proprietors,
It has grown from a very small venture
Into a concern which occupies two build
ings In Omaha and-has branches in Coun
cil Bluffs, Sioux City and Lincoln, and Is
now arranging for a new building here.
At first they handled pianos and sold
them largely on the installment plan, but
wHh they years they have broadened out.
They absorbed the Mueller Piano and Or
gan company. About three years ago they
added manufacturing to their sales busi
ness. This branch of their concern ha
grown perhaps more rapidly than the older
established one. They use one building now
for this work and "Schmoller & Mueller'
pianos and organs are to be found in very
many homes In this city and in western
Iowa and the whole of this state. They are
also the sole agents for the Stelnway
pianos. They hope to complete arrange'
ments for a five-story building this sum
mer on their present site and the vacant
lot next esst of It, which will give them
three sales floors and two fo manufao
turing.
Know Advertising! Pays.
"When we began our little business," said
Mr. Schmoiler. "we believed the people of
this part of the United States were as
musical as those of any part of the coun
try, or, in fact, the world. We saw that
to reach our future customers we must aa
vertlse. We did. .You would be surprised
at the money we have spent for advertise
ments. And what la more, we know it has
oaid and has been ths chief leverage to
ward our success. And right here let me
say this: The display ad Is not the whole
thing by any mvuis. While the Dig aa
vertlsement that catches tha eye is a neces
sity and no one would want to do without
It, yet the ad In The Bee's miscellaneous
want columns' is a winner. We have ad
vertised in The .Bee for years in the want
ad columns and have proved that It has
been a good Investment The want ad is
small and does not catch the eye like the
big display, but It does its work and does
It weU, Just tba same. Many people read
the want ad pages and for all sorts of rea
sons. Some because they have an adver
tisement there themselves, some becaus
they can find a bargain there and many be
cause the want ad page, with Its great
variety, Is one of the most Interesting parts
of the paper. If written right a little wsnt
ad In The Bee will prove Itself a big money
maker, even for a Arm which Is selling
pianos. At least we have figures to show
that many a sale has come from our want
advertising In The Bee."
The Nebraska Cycle company Is another
live business firm that uses the want ad
columns of Th Bee extensively. Mr. George
Mlckel, when Interviewed, stated that ha
credited his success to a combination of
hard work and advertising. "Starting In
18M. I had only one small room, where I

this store, and 'we have branches In both
South Omaha and Council Bluffs.' While I
started with bicycles. I now handle sewtng
machines, phonographs and typewriters as
well, and I have recently taken the ex
clusive sgency for the Wheeler A Wilson
sewtng machine. The fact cannot b denied
that I carry the largest stock of phono
graph and records west of Chicago I
have found that the use of want ads. In

a large class of readers and Is a verv valu

DAILY BEE: SUNDAY, MAY 22, 1901.
W. R. Drummond. manager of the com
pany, "we are compelled to rach ail classes
of people the very wealthy and the more
economical. I believe . t'hnt the want nd
page of The Bee Is read by everybody.
Therefore, when I run a display advertise
ment, to which I wish to direct special at
tention, I Invariably ask for position fol
lowing the 'want ads. My advertising In
the want ad columns of The Bee has yielded
profits so far out of proportion to the small
Investment that I often wonder that more
business houses do not use the want ad
columns. In addition to their display ad
vertising, for the purpose of disposing of
their low-pricid goods."
The Dresher Tailoring company Is another
prosperous Omaha firm that has been built
up by a combination of "hustle," advertis
ing, good goods and fair dealing. "We
regard our success," said Mr. A. V. Dresher,
"as a result of our hard work, but we do
not fall to acknowledge the prt that our
advertising has played In building up a
tailor business which runs into bigger gross
receipts than any concern In the city as
the result of our want ad advertising. We
have been strongly Impressed that all
classes of people read the want ad pages
not only the man who Is out of work, but
the well-to-do, prosperous merchant, who
often must refer to these columns to find
what he wants, or because he finds the
page interesting. Not long go we sold a
suit to the head of one of Omaha's largest
wholesale houses which we traced directly
as a result of our want ad In The Bee.
We have made more money In proportion
to the Investment from The Bee want ads
than any money we ever spent for advertis
ing." TO FORCE EMPLOYES TO PAY
Plan on Foot for Employers to Com
pel Payment of Debts for
Xeeessltles.
The Omaha credit bureau is busy send
ing out letters to large employers of
labor in this city asking for an expression
of opinion as to whether they would be
willing to enforce their employes to pay
Just bills contracted for the necessities of
life. These letters have been sent to rail
roads. Jobbing houses, manufacturers, de
partment stores and other places where
numerous people work for weekly or
monthly wages. ' A considerable number
of replies to the first of these letters, mailed
Friday, show the business men 'are heart
ily in favor of the scheme.
The letters say the members of the coal
dealers, the meat men's and the grocers'
associations have found the credit business
growing more burdensome year by year,
have been obliged to place It on a better
basis and have formed the bureau through
which delinquont accounts can be handled
with less annoyance to both the employers
and the members of the bureau.
The bureau believed the employers as a
rule paid their men enough to enable them
to settle honest debts for coal, meat and
groceries, and the letter assumes the em
ployers wish their men to pay these bills.
As most men are paid (by the month It
seems necessary for them to have credit
and the members of the bureau are willing
to grant It If thotr Interests can be safe
guarded.
The replies to the letter were uniformly
favorable, running from those who merely
wished the bureau success, through those
who would use their moral suasion on their
employes to pay, but who would not guar
antee debts, to those who eald they would
discharge any man - who did not pay an
honest debt for sucji necessities. The idea
of the letter was merely to find out where
the large employers stood.

STRUCK WITH GROWTH OF CITY
President Wnndhnry of Omaha Wnter
Company Steps Here Enronte
Eastward.
"Omaha Is exhibiting more physical evl
dence of progress and Improvement than
ever before," said President T. C. ood
bury of the Omsha Water company, who
stopped here for two days on his way back
to New York after a western trip. "On
every hand one can see new buildings go
ing up and no district of the city seems to
be without its quota of construction. Our
business Is affected at once by new build
Ings and increased population and our rec
ords show there bss been marked advances
In these lines during the last few mnnths.
The town Is growing and I think Is en-
Joying a higher level of prosperity than
ever before."
President Woodbury had nothing new to
offer regarding the municipal appraisement
of the plant. The schedules of the water
company are still Incomplete and the en
gineers are making an Inventory of the
Florence pumping station.
FAMOl'S DANC1XO ACROI1ATS COMll
Something New In the Way of Bnll
Boora Tripping with Wallace's
Clrcn.
If It was necessary to argue in order to
convince the publto that the Great Wallace
Show Is different from other tented con
cerns in that it provides exclusive high
class attractions, no hotter evidence would
be needed than that of the presence of the
"Four Molassos."
This quartet were brought to this country
for the first time last season, coming direct
from the Grand Opera of Vienna. Their
number on the program is a constant suc
cession of marvelous actions. They are the
very personification of gracefulness, and as
they glide over the stage It Is a delightful
sight.
The "Four Molassos" comprise two Indies
and two men. They are attired In full dress
ball room costumes and their entire act Is
presented In the usual conventional style.
the only difference being In their unmatched
dancing. Their acrobatic whirlwind dan
cing combines wonderful agility with terpts
chorean ehd intricate movements, executed
with a grace that captivates as vell as
amazes the beholder.
One of the most pleasing and novel steps
Is seen when the two couples waltz back
to back Instead of face to face. The climax
Is reached when In the dance the men throw
the women around their head at arms'
length, and the women do the same to the
men. . .
All in all, the act of the Molassos Is so
much out of the ordinary that it may be
said to be one of the greatest .feature ever
carried by any circus. The ticket takers at
the rualn entrance of the Wallace Show
are often greeted at the night performance
with a salutation like this: "We were In
this afternoon, but we had to come again
to eee the Molassos."
