12 A THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: MAY . 26, 1918. ORKIN BROS. OPEN1 JEW STORE MONDAY One of Most Attractive Cloth ing Quarters in Wc:'.; All Departments Are Nearly Completed. Orkin Brothers will move into their new store in the Conant hote building, Sixteenth and Harney . streets, after waiting: several weeks in order that it would be in as com pitted condition as possible. Havinsr agreed to vacate the old store at 1519-21 Douglas by May 25 J. L. Orkin stated there was but one thing he could do, and that was to move and to ask the indulgence of the public for the incompleted con- ; dition of their new store. Several departments of the new store will not be ready for occupancy -: lor a snort time, but as soon as tney .'are completed and the stock placed a grand opening will be held, to which the public will be invited. In arrangement, finish and lighting, Orkin Brothers new store is all that r rould be desired, ' Nothing has been left undone that would tend to make this store the best of its kind in the tniddlewest. Floor Arrangements. The first floor, which is finished in walnut, is to be given over to - the display of blouses, silk undergar ments, etc.; All so arranged in cases that they are' free from the dust of the street at all times.' Yet shoppers will be able to see at a glance the enormous stock of high class mer chandise. : . . The second floor, reached by an electric elevator as well as stairway, is finished .in mahogany. The Six teenth street side of this floor is de voted to the sale of ladies and misses' coats, suits and dresses. Here, too. the ladies will find the choosing of a gown or street dress made ex tremely easy from the large and care fully selected stock with plenty of daylight daylight all around the big floor. The second floor back on the Har ney street side is to be devoted to the millinery department,, as well as the fitting and work rooms, which is in an uncompleted condition owing to V the non-arrival of many fixtures, as well as the carpets. However, the delay is expected to be of short dura tion ana as soon as iney are in piace Omahans will be pleased to have a ,LUiC V .III V IV1I, UlUUIH . kll.l V. ter, and located as it is in the very heart of the downtown shopping dis- - trist. ' , - ' . ' ; iiewkrugTpark affords delight to lame crowd The formal opening of New Krug park Saturday , night attracted sev sra! thousand people and was a great success. Every woman who attended was given a beautiful rose. The "Giant Coaster," with its mile long rtde and its striking view of the country for miles around, proved the most alluring attraction, the dancing pavilion, which accmodates more than 1,000 couples and was almost crowd ded with merry dancers. "Danceland" was formally opened .with an - exhibition dance, but, the real' feature of the evening was the spscial dance orchestra, brought to Omaha for the season at the park. Delays in the receiph of machinery prevented the erection of the "Cap tive Aeroplanes", in time for the open ing, but this, attraction, the newest and most thrilling in Omaha, will be in operation , within a very few j days. The park will be open this after noon, tonight and every afternoon and night for the season. ' One of the new features is the use of tickets instead of money , at all concessions. ' Tickets are sold at small booths throughout'thc grounds. This plan reduces the number of em playees according to C S. Rose, man ager of the park, and enables the em ployment of more young women, ! Special attentioin wilt be paid dur ing the season to picnic parties and one of the features of the park will be the community kitchens at which the picnickers may make their cof fee or do their cooking, as well as if it home. JULIUS ORKIN'S RED CROSS GIFTS SELL FOR $1,300 Contributions to the Red Cross war fund were slackening up m an almost noticeable manner Saturday during the last few hours of the drive 1 here was no doubt about it. So two busy Red Cross workers Miss Mary Coll and Mrs. Margaret Judson, who had labored during the entire week, de cided to "liven things up a bit. Both called on Julius Orkin, head of the Julius Orkin store, 1510 Doug las street, and '"fessed up" that they wanted still more contributions. Mr. Orkin proposed a scheme. Soon every clerk in the store was busy selecting articles of women's wear ing apparel and placing them in one huge pile. Approximately $500 worth of ladies' and misses' dresses, coats, shirtwaists, etc. were gathered together. "Here take these, auction them off and keep the proceeds," Mr. Orkin said to the Red Cross women. The women immediately called up W. A. Tyrrel, well known auctioneer, and at 6 o'clock, in front of the Em press theater the big donation of clothing was auctioned to ready buy ers. The sale netted $1,300 for the Red Cross fund.
