The "
Historical, Enterprising and Important Business Center of
Omaha-Block Comprises Large Firms Doing Business
Throughout the United States and Foreign Parts
fffjERE is where pioneer names still linger on Omaha's business roster, Many of the early day merchants
hamtfl of the city havo gone, and not even a memory of them remains with the busy people, save now and then some "old timer" may recall the merchants who were
vmmi in business on Lower Farnam street twenty or more years ago. The men who are still in business down there are well known, though; they are progressive,
energetic and wide awake, thoroughly able to grasp new ideas and keep fully abreast of modern methods of doing business. And for this reason they have survived
the changes of time, the expansion of the city that has followed with its growth, and have kept alive the currents of trade in the older retail section. In the
"1300 Block" will be found substantial, enterprising and Btrictly modern business men, names that have been known in Omaha since the town first had business
men to represent it.
