The year just closing has been the greatest in our history
and in yours. The splendid co-operation that the buying
public of Omaha has given to us has not only boosted our busi
ness and given us an opportunity to grow, but it has enabled
us to hire more men, to pay larger salaries, to purchase at better
prices a greater variety and volume of the raw products of this
territory and bo more beneficial in every way to those to whom
we are indebted.

greater harmony than heretofore. Every time you buy an
