OMAHA WINDOWS
USED. TO BOOST
LIBERTY BONDS
Considerable Skill Shown in
These Displays Intended to
Help Sale of Liberty
Bonds.
The big, downtown stores are
doing a great work in boosting tiie
Fourth Liberty loan. Their window
display men have designed some
Striking ideas which are sending
their appeals to tens of thousands
daily. .Everywhere the central
thought is "Buy a" Bond."
The ''Liberty Special," a minia
ture train which makes its steam by
burning real dollars bills, to judge
hy the contents of its tender, is at
tracting great attention in one of
the Farnam street windows of the
Benson & Thome company store,
the track is laid around a repro
duction of the Statue of Liberty
and the figure of a boy dressed in
the uniform of an aviator. "Liber
ty" displays a sign hearing . the
legend, "Douglas County's (Junta
$10,541,500. Help Go Over the Top."
The young aviator holds a placard
with the words, "Buy, Buy Liberty
Bonds or Bye. Bye, Liberty!" P. X.
Riley designed this display.
Buy bonds.
E. J. Berg, wlxj is chairman of the
Liberty Loan committee on window
decoration, has placed as lhe back
ground for the Burgcss-Xash dis
play, a large painting showing "The
People and Uncle Sam Welding the
Chains to Make the World Sate."
The kaiser is the victiui i t their ef
forts. On either side arc large pic
tures of soldiers with ti.ed bay
onets, and the words, "1 end the
Way They Fight Buy Bonds to
the. Utmost'
A picture of "Liberty Enlighten
ing the World" is the background
for the Thompson-Beldcn display,
the work of Frank Fiala. An Ameri
can eagle and stacked guns are tn
the foreground. The massage of the
window is "Buy a Bond and Keep
of Generals Foch and
Ilaig and posters with the admoni
tion "Remember Belgium" and
"Pave the Way to Berlin with
Bonds" decorate the windows of
Orchard & Wilhelm. Thev were ar
ranged by J. L. Doan.
At Brandeis Stores.
The Sixteenth street windows of
the Brandeis stores are decorated
with large feminine figures fash
ioned from cardboard, bearing aloft
shieU's of red, white and blue, be
tween which are streamers with the
words, "Buy Fourth Liberty
Bends." Phil Armour was the de
signer. W. Gannon ha centered the Hay
den display around a wax figure of
Liberty, who holds in one hand a
picture of General Pershing and in
the other a staff with a small shield
bearing the words "Buy Bonds."
Pictures of our great war presidents
are hung in the background.
In front of the colors radiating
from an American eagle, in the
Browning, King jt Co., window, are
large pictures of the allied comman
ders and posters with the words,
"Hasten Victory, for Our Fighting
Men." and "Buy Fourth Liberty
Bonds." F. W. Chilians was the de
signer. Any merchant in any part of the
city who wants to donate window
space to the Liberty loan may have
the free advice of an expert window
dresser by telephoning E. J. Berg
at the Burgess-Xash company.

Corsets Are Essential
The War Industries Board of the United States
Government has said that Corsets are to be
classified as among the first civilian essentials.
A demonstration of the construction of a Nemo
corset shows that each particular model was de
signed to aid a certain type of figure, that each
particular patented feature was added to aid or
prevent some ailment it is these special features
'hat helped so much in having corsets classified as
ssential. Are you wearing a Nemo corset and
taking advantage of the great aid it can be to you?
Please remember that only an experienced Corsetiere with
a complete variety of models and sizes to select from
can fit you in the proper manner and that our stock
of Nemo Corsets is as complete today as ever before.
If you have your corset fitted here, you have the
service and advice of the most carefully trained
corsetieres in the country. Their services are free.
The government asks every woman to make her
corset last as long as possible.
