Why this store dominates
the clothing field in Omaha
What store is first remembered when clothing is mentioned? Is it this or some of the
older ones? Why is King Swanson Co's name foremost in everybody's mind? Let us answer.
It is the store that dared to upset traditional methods and establish a new era in clothes sell
ing. It was unafraid to stand for better things.
It installed beautiful and comfortable equipment for its patrons. It formulated a store
service that took the town by storm and gathered imitators by the score. It established a
method of buying that results in substantial savings in real money for every person who
trades here. In short it labors incessantly to be a store that serves the people's interests
rather than a store whose interests are served by the people. Its success is the reward that
awaits everyone who discovers a new way to do an old thing.

ANOTHER CLAIMANT FOR ESTATE
Wife of Alleaed Heir to Trcnmseb
Property Appears.
TECl'MSEH, Neb., Sept. 17. (Special)
Another claimant for the estate of John
Wilson and wife, said to be valued at
about $."50,000, has made her appearance
In Tecumseh. John Wilson and wife had
a son who ran away from home In his
youth, many years ago. He was his
father's namesake and for years the nged
couple sought him. A trip was made to
Scotland for this purpose, ard upon the
advice of a spiritualist, another was made
to Alaska. At the latter place Mr. and
Mrs. Wilson thought they found some
trace of the son, though they did not find
him personally.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Wilson died In Te
cumseh within the past few years and
without having accomplished the one great
desire of their lives, again to see thr-lr
son. Mrs. Wilson was the last to depart
this life and her demise occurred about
four years ago. The Wilsons left their
estate to their son, in case he should
claim It within five years. Since the
death of these old people there have been
a number of claimants of the money
but
none has "made good." A
