FOR EQUIPPING THE HOME
Omaha Offers Unexcelled Advantages
for Buying Household Goods.
CATER TO OUT-OF-TOWN BUYERS
Gate City Excel urn m Place far
Coantrr Merchants to Replenish
Their Stocks, aa Well a
for Shoppers.
Considering- the home, the nerve oenter
of the nation, a tt were, of national sta
bility, Omaha asaln cornea into prominence
as supplying" the needs of the hemes of an
Immense territory. In fact, a good aised
colony of households Is equipped entirely
with goods whloh bear, visibly or In
visibly, the Omaha mark. This logically
makes Omaha the nerve center for this
territory of homes.
Shoppers, therefore, look to Omaha as
headquarters and It I to Omaha the shop
pers come for supplies, that is, some few,
comparatively, for the great multitude of
Omaha's dependents are supplied through
their home merchants, who seek supplies
In Omaha.
Only the trade excursionists really appre
ciate the scope of this field Into which
Omaha household foods are nnt. Each job
ber and manufacturer reallzea, of course,
to soma extent, because, he knows the
demand for his particular goods, but he
doesn't know, exactly, the demand for his
competitor's wares and not at all does he
realize the demand for wares outaide his
own line.
The Individual shopper knows, from ob
servation, that the women of the nearby
towns of Nebraska and Iowa and In many
Instances nearby means quite a distance
In miles, the Interest overcoming the draw
back of travel like to shop In Omaha. She
has seen thorn. She has noticed these
women from other towns Inspecting the
bargains displayed by Omaha merchants.
She knows that the retailers like this out-of-town
trade, give most careful attention
and expert assistance to the visitor and
sometimes .depute one of their most skill
ful clerks to guide her through the store
and show her the gods desired. Shopping
jaunta to Omaha are part of the regular
program for a number of the women In
the surrounding territory, but tt is not
of this trade one thinks when deolarlng
that Omaha Is the household center.
While It Is true that the young house
holder and his wife, who have Just faced
the minister and pronounced the wedding
lines to his satisfaction, like to come to
Omaha and visit the household depart
ments of the stores here, it Isn't in thin
way that the great bulk of household
trade Is done. The visitor likes the sensa
tion, for instance, of visiting one of the
large carpet departments, of seeing the
splendid assortment of floor coverings. He
likes to watch the new Mrs. Newlywed's
face and see her admin rati on pictured
there. He likes, you see, to realise anew
the superlative good taste of his wife.
Sometimes even he steals a glance at the
salesman to see whether or not that hard
ened Individual appreciates just how excel
ling is this taste. And so the bridegroom
and the bride come to Omaha and joyfully
inspect Omaha's array of fine carpels. All
sorts of rugs aire spread for their Inspec
tion and there la little question but that
at length they will find the ones which just
meet both necessary condition will please
and fit the pocketbook. As In other house
hold furnishings Omaha's supply of car
pets Is selected to mee,t a wide demand,
ranging from the Ingrain to the choicest
Persian rug.. The supply includes the
latest, finest Japanese grass matting and
the cool rugs made of jute, just as it In
cludes' all grades and varieties of carpets.
The same story Is true of the other de
partments which are of absorbing interest
to the house furnisher Knens, dishes, fur
niture In most satisfying array please the
visiting purchaser. You'll find the out-of-town
shopper in all departments ot all the
retail shops, buying with a true apprecia
tion of the wares Omaha offers.
Blgr Jobbing; Trade.
This retail side of the story; however, Is
small In importance, as stated above, com
pared to the jobbers' and manufacturers'
tale of the part Omaha plays In furnishing
the homes of the surrounding territory. It
Is only worthy of mention In that it Indi
cates the personal attitude of the people
toward Omaha wares and Indicates the
reason why the merchants of the territory
do their shopping of Omaha jobbers.
The story of the dealers' shopping runs
Into large figures. Its slie Is indicated, in
some degree, to the outsider by a trip
through the wholesale district, a visit to
the wholesale establishments and a glimpse
at the quantities of wares handled there.
Possibly figures, of whloh the statistician
Is so fond and which mean so much from
the bookkeeper's point of view, will give
a more tangible Wee to the general publlo,
as well, of the part Omaha plays in equip
ping these home.
To take hardware as typtoal, slnoe hard
war deals so largely with the home's ne
cessities and does not Include the frivols
and fads, seems logical. The figures for
the hardware Jobbers In the year IMS are
$2,200,000. These represent a conservative,
unexaggerated estimate of the amount of
hardware sold through local houses. Tin
ware, and this Is a large buslnesa locally,
la not Included In this estimate.
For the wherewithal to equip the beds
of the home, Omaha jobbers and manu
facturers are also regardful, and bedding
mattresses are turned out In fin shape for
the critical trade. The extent of the manu
facturing side of the buatnets Is generally
Indicated by the figures for last year,
whloh reached 1100,000.
Not Effective, However.
One of the briefest and no doubt one
of the most sincere addresses ever de
livered on the subject of capital pun
ishment was made In Worcester Coun
ty, Mass., more than two generations
ago.
A notorious character by the name of
Charley James, standing on the gal
lows with the noose properly adjusted
was asked before the cap was drawn
over his face It he would like to say a
few words.
"Ladlee and gentlemen beg pardon,
gentlemen," he said. "Standing where)
I do, I am unalterably opposed to eap
Ital punishment." Kverybody's Magaaln

In many things, but particularly in the cleaning of a garment.
The slap dash get, out-of-the-way-quick, with many spots left
which should have been removed, and the gloss marks showing
a careless way of pressing and the deliberate, careful, pains
taking way in giving the garment a thorough cleaning, and in
the pressing to give it the appearance of newness.
This is our way. A trial will convince you that, at moderate
cost, the life of a garment can be prolonged indefinitely.
