Omaha Trade Area ' Enlarged by Auto Thatlhe automobile is rapidly Widen ing Omaha's trade territory and Is help ing to bring much more business here, is 'asserted by W. E. Haynes, formerly of Omaha and now a successful general merchant of Flats, McPheraon county. He bought an auto last summer, and since then has made many more busi ness trips to Omaha and bought more goods here than he did before he got the gasoline wagon. . Forty miles from a railroad sounds a long way from no-where, but that Is Haynes' location, up In the sandhill country. Before he pastured his driving ponies and began using a car to get around in, he didn't get to Omaha more than once or twice a year. But now, with his car, he frequently runs in to Njrth Platte and hops a fast train to Omaha. He has do.ie go several times already this winter. He comes In that way, or In to lid weather and with good roads, even motors all the way, almost 400 miles, whenever an interesting trade conven tion occurs here, or his wife and little daughter want to visit Mrs. Haynes parents, Mr. and Mrs. G. B. bake, 2817 'North fwenty-fouAh street Haynes even comes to Omaha sometimes Just to place a wholesale order. Instead of putting up with the delays of doing business by mall. All these things, in addition to Indi cating the rising prosperity of the sand hill country, go to show that the auto mobile Is a trade stimulator for Omaha. Rammer Complaint Tarred.

MANAGEMENT IS OPTIMISTIC Under the leadership of George Bran dels, general manager, with Instructions to buy even In greater qunitltlea than for any previous season, eleven buyers from the Brandeis stores will leave In a speclsl car this evening for New York ond the eastern markets. Within a few days another division of Brandeis buyers will leave on the same mission and lth the same Instructions. The entire corps likely will remain in New York until shoot March I'. While In New York tho Omaha buyers will make their headquar ters st the J. L. Brandeis 4k Sons offices, 13SI Broadway. Optimism rules the management of the Brandeis stores, who confidentially expect the year 191S to be not only tho greatest year in the history of the stores, but In the history of Omaha. Nebraska and the whole mlddln west. Proof of this confi dence is expressed in the most substantial manner the order by Arthur Brandeis and Oeorge Brandeis, "Buy more goods (and If possible), better goods and more fashionable goqi'.s than you ever have bought before." Nineteen fourteen was a great year for us, said (leorge Brandeis. "We have every reason to anticipate a still greater 191". So certain ere we that Omaha's volume of business will be materially li Classed In this new year that every buyer before leaving for the markets lias In structions to out-do all his past best ef forts. We believe we are quite conversant with the conditions In Omaha and throughout this section of the middle west, and we have every reason to feel that we now are embarked upon a new year that will set records In this terri tory never before attained."
