Vhen George Brandeis came from C .cago to Omaha six years ago he owned no stock in J. L. Brandeis Sons. He became manager of the business under a contract made with Arthur D. Brandeis, then president of the company. The contract was for 10 years, and will expire Jan uary 1, 1923. Since the death of Arthur D. Brandeis, all of the J. L. Brandeis & Sons' stock has been held by George Brandeis, E. John Brandeis and John L. .Kennedy, as trustees of his estate, and by E. John Bran deis individually. L'nder the management' of George Brandeis, the business has grown beyond expectation, and E. John Brandeis and John L. Kennedy, as trustees and directors, have felt that his management should continue. To that end' they have induced George Brandeis to purchase from E. John Brandeis a substantial interest in the business. The trustees could not sell the trust stock to one of their number, and for that reason E. John Brandeis parted with a large block of the stock which he inherited from his uncle, Emil Brandeis. Prior to this time the life of George Brandeis was insured for $1,000,000, one-half being carried for the benefit of E. John Brandeis, and 1 Brief City News Have Rpt Print It Beacon Press.

He will be active along all lines for the building of a bigger and better Omaha.
