"W adveitlned five new homes on
Lothrop street In last Sunday's Uee," de
clared Byron Hastings, "and by Friday
we had sold four of them. Ttiat ia a
ptctty good result from an sxl."
These, new cottages were built between
Fourteenth and Sixteenth, and sold at
from IJ.200 to .300.
George & oll a good many

holm bought on" mi th northwest corner
of Fifty-first ami ni brother another Iti

Swedish Baptlat church will erect a par
sonage, and bought from George & Co.,
a lot on Burt atreet west of Thirtieth- W.
K. McFarland bought a lot at 5140 Capi
tol avenue.
The temperature does make a difference
in sales." said a prominent dealer. "In
two fool days of the week Just over we
hud mure Inquiries and closed up more
pending contracts than in the six hot days
pieC'dlns;. When the mercury soars people
lose energy and get through, only what
they actually have to. Although it was a
dull week fur everybody sales were enough
to pay expenses In the case of every dealer
who does anything at all at any lie."
llaxtlngs & lleydcn have Just completed
platting a iil0 acre tract of ground in the
San Juuiiuin alley, Kern county, Cali
fornia. It lius been platted into ten acre
ti acts 'between Los Angeles and San Fran
ciwco, within two and a half miles of the
main lines of the Sante Fe and Southern
Pacific railroads, and within eleven miles
of Bakt r.-f.ch., a town of about U.00O
population. Ti.i fi.;n has already sold
out over forty ten ncie tiacts, mostly to
pcupio In Omaha. Alfalfa, potatoes, all
kinds of vegetables and fruits of all kinds,
apricots, peaches, pears, plums, grapes,
strawberries, English walnuts, peanuts and
the finest kind of oranges and lemons can
bo grown.
The tract Is called Omaha tract 'o. 1.
Henry Johnson, secretary of the Emerson
Manufacturing company has bought
through George & Co., the Whitney resi
dence on Izard street paying about $3,000
for It.
The week was notable for the one thous
andth building permit being issued for the
year and for final disposition of the site
f the Woodmen of the World building.
While the action of the fraternity disap
pointed a good many real estate men
somewhat, who hoped to sell a choice site
to the order, yet It was generally felt that
'he Woodmen could have done far worse
than they determined.
The statement of the clearings through
the banks of Omaha and South Omalu
are most Interesting, for they show Omaha
to be the leading city of the country In
the matter of actual gain in business us
reflected by the bank clearings for the
month of July.
For the week just closed Omaha shows
a gain of S3.8 per cent, which Is the largest
per cent of gain of any of the larger com
mercial centers except Detroit, which
seems to have had a spurt for one week
and i-hong a gain of 72 6 per cent. But the
gain of the Omaha banks is steady ai.J
consistent, and week after wee); the word
has gone forth over the lanr. that Omaha
Is making faster strides forward than
any other large city. In the total business
through the banka Omaha leads such large
centers as New Orleana, Louisville, Mil
waukee. Fort Worth, Lo Angeles, St.
Paul. Seattle. Denver, Buffalo and In
dianapolis. Day by day during the month of July
the bank clearings have kept up their
gait and no day during the month fell
abort of the corresponding day in 1908.
The totals for July, lDflo, are $59,274. 770.1X,
and for July, l'job, 46.186,59.04, a gain of
tf,0S8,174.11 for the month.
A comparison of the figures day by day
for the twenty-six banking days in July
follows:

There la no doubt but what the practical
arrangement of a home Bhould always be
In first consideration when planning It, and I
whenever there Is a conflict between a
practical requirement and the appearance,
either outside or Inside of a home, the
practicability of an arrangement should be
considered first. It rarely happens, how
ever, that anything has to be sacrificed
In the way of beauty or attractiveness in
order to meet practical requirements. For
example. If a dining room Is small, making
It necessary to provide a large bay window
on one side In order to provide necessary
room in It, this same bay window will at
the same time give a pleasing view In
several directions, admitting considerable
Can Your Advertising Agent
Outsell All the Rest?
This is the vital question.
Advertising agents are bad, better or best,
according to their selling ability.
Nothing else matters at all.
Advertising has only one purpose. It is
done solely to sell the goods.
If ad can be written to sell a tenth more
than yours, you are wasting a tenth of your
money. You are losing a tenth of your sales.
Suppose you could hire the best salesman
you know at the price of a tyro. Which man
would you take?
In advertising, you can do exactly that.
High-class agents, whether good or poor, all
charge the same commission.
Ads that sell the utmos. cost no more to
insert than ads that sell nothing at alL
Getting the best is not a question of price,
but of shrewdness.
Your degree of success depends entirely on
your selection of salesmen-in-print.
We solicit business solely on the basis of
results.
We might talk ageter this agency is 36
years old.
We might talk size, for we have outgrown
all rivals.
We might talk buying power, influence,
knowledge of mediums a dozen such matters
of course.
But what do they all matter when compared
with results?
Our only claim is that we outsell all others.
We have proved it to hundreds. We can prove
it to you.
This fact is so certain so invariably true
that we handle advertising without any contract
whatever. We rely solely on results to keep it.
That is why our Copy Chief is paid $1,000
per week. That is why tch of our brilliant
men holds the place he holds.
Working together as they do they can
sell more goods per dollar spent than any other
men in existence.
Suppose these claims are facts. And sup
pose they apply to you.
Suppose these men, at the same expense,
could bring twice the results you are getting.
How much would it mean ?
There is a way to find out easily, quickly
and certainly.
It can be done without any commitment on
your part, and without disturbing your present
agency connections.
The answer will be clear and final. It may
be worth thousands of dollars to you. And it
may be worth millions. That depends on the
article advertised.
If you are interested, ask us to explain the
way.

Address either office. They are equally equipped

will he an ornament to the exterior.
If it is necessary to obtain as large a
hoime as possible at the least expense the
most practical arrangement, n general,
!s a square house or more properly speak
ing, a house built on tho rectangular plan,
for the outside dimensions do not neces
sarily have to be equal. For a house
thirty-two feet wide or more it Is best to
place the entrance in the center with a
hall extending clear through the centei
of the house. The partitions on each side
of the hall being lined up from the base-
ment to the attic Placing the hall In the
I center leaves the most valuable parts of
I the house, the outside corners, to be used
j f or rooms, especially the front corners
Rooms located In corners are always more
desirable, lighter and more airy than rooms
placed where they can have windows only
on one side. A pleasant view Is afforded
In two directions from a corner room ard
a j;ood light is always assured, which Is
appreciated In the rooms on the north side
of tho house, for rooms so located, have
in addition to the north window either
east or nest windows as well.
In a small home It Is best to combine the
parlor, silting room and library all into one)
spacious room and openly connect this with!
the hall throiiKh a wide eased opening to'
which columns ran be added with a pleas- j
Ing effect if desired. The reception hall
and living room become practically on. j
If the dining room has a very hpad open
ing between it and the hall the effect has
the appearance of having considerable more
room in It than one would suppose from
the exterior. Suppose, on the other hand. I
the living room weie divided Into a parlor,'
Bitting room and den or small library thai
were connected w ith the reception hall by i
an ordinary door and that the dining room I
door was of ordinary slue, the effect would,
be that the home was very small, since
all parts of it would have a crowded ap-1
paranre. j
This Is the most common fault among
homes built by the average man today, tit,
thinks that the more rooms he can get Into
the house, each w ith a different name, the I
larger It will appear to his guesta or a'
! prospective buyer, when as a matter of
j fact, he has done just the thing he should
I not have done with this end In view. Rus
! kins' well known statement that simplicity
Is the terminal point of all progress finds
no better application than In the planning
Of homes. The simpler the arrangement
the more practical and more attractive.
In the planning of a living room several
Important things should 6e taken into con-
j slderation. It should be of sufficient Bize
j lo accommodate without a crowded appear
I ance all the furniture that would be placed
i In It. Two wall spaces over six feet In
width should be provided where possible.
one wail space of this width for the
piano being absolutely necessary; the other
wall space is only Indispenslble when It Is
Intended to have a davenport In the room.
Bookcases can be located on wall spaces of
most any width, but unless It is Intended
to build the bookcases Into the house. It
would be best to have wall spaces of suffi
cient width provided to accommodate the
fixtures In the possession of the family.
In the dining room there should be at
least one good wall space for the sideboard.
While a number of homes have been
erected with built-in sideboards, this fea
ture is not as popular as It was a few years
ago. A built-in sideboard is an expensive
piece of mlllwork. It Is more cumbersome
than beautiful and seldom looks as well as
a moveable piece of furniture built for this
purpose.
The reception hall should have a wall
space for the hall rack as well as a
clothes closet directly off of it in which
to hang the wraps not in every-day use,
such as raincoats, rubbers, etc.
Whether or not there should he a pantry
depends entirely upon the preference of
the lady most interested in this part of
the house. Rome consider a pantry a
convenience, while others have decided
contrary views on the subject. The writer
always considers It expedient not to argue
this point with the fair members of the
household. From a practical standpoint
there is no doubt, but what the pantrv
offers one advantage In the fact that
double doors can he obtained between the
kitchen and living part of the house when
the pantry is placed between the kitchen
and dining room, although this advantage
is often lost through the doors between
the kitchen and pantry being removed from
their hinges and being permanently stored
away to prevent a hindrance In the con
tinuous passing to and fro bitween kitchen
and pantry.
The size of the kitchen depends some
what upon the family habits. The writer
invariably found that the housewife who
wants a kitchen 'with plenty of room to
turn around In" makes her husband eat his
breakfast there In the morning. which
means thut the kitchen should he a little!
Iarj;r than would otherwise be necessary
In order to accommodate the table of suf
ficient al2e to serve meals on and at the
ame time accommodate the extra rhilrs
required. When the lady gives the instruc- i
lions to the effect that she wants the
kitchen as compact as possible 'in order ,
to nave steps," It can he taken fur gra ited
that the morning repast is served In the j
dining room. This Is one room which it Is
desirable to have windows on two sides in 1
order to give a proper circulation of all '
In the summer time and under no clrcum- J
stances. If It Is possible to avoid It. should '
the kitchen be placed on the south side
of the house, since the heat of the sun and '
the heat incidental to conking mken a !
room so located almost unbearable la ce
tain limes of th year.
A TOTAL LOSS
Money paid for rent can only be considered as a
total loss. It is true you receive temporary shelter, but
you do not receive a particle of future profit from your
investment.
MONEY SHOULD BE INVESTED SO AS
TO INSURE FUTURE BENEFIT OR PROFIT
By taking advantage of our helpful method of buy
ing or building a home you will pay the money formerly
expended for rent to us, and in return receive a clear
title to your home.
A few years are sufficient. Let us explain.
