Christmas Greeting, 1912
DECEMBER 25th marks the 26th Christmas in this store's
calendar, and marks the first Christmas in this store for
the new owners of the Nebraska. It's an event that calls for more
than an ordinary card of greeting.
This store is the pride of the men who conduct it, just as it was for the men
who founded it a quarter century ,ago; thdinen who raised it up to one of the first
ten' clothing stores in America, and the pride of Omaha.
OUR CREED:
E BELIEVE that there is a moral obligation to the public
in the conduct of a modern business enterprise.
WE BELIEVE that modem business success can only be achieved by gain
ing tho confidence of the people and holding it.
WE BELIEVE that public confidence can only be gained by the square
deal, greater valueB and guaranteed satisfaction to all. v
WE BELIEVE that tho crown of sucess goes to tho storo thai satisfies tlfo
most people and that every transaction should add a jewel to that crown.
