Omaha's Oldest
Jeweler Retires
After Many Years
Albert E. Edholm Announces
Closing Out Sale After 30
Years as Owner of
i Oavii Store'.
Albert -E. Edliotm, Omaha's oldest
.'cweler, is retiring from business.
Mr. Edholm has been in the
jewelry business in Omaha since he
whs 10 years old. havnij; worked hi
stores owned by two of his brothers
until he established his own store in
i 1800. , ' - '
The announcement of his closing
out sale was made yesterday. He
has made no plans for the future
Unlike most jewelers Mr. Edholm,
in learning his trade specialized
more in the careV,of jewelry than in
the art of watchmaking, and to this
hejtttributes much of his success.
v Worked as Errand Boy.
. He worked as an errand boy in the
store of his brother, Nelson J.
Edholm, then located at Fifteenth
and Dodge streets, and known as
Edholjn and Ericks6nand later as
Edholm and Akin. When his
brother's concern failed he deter
mined to open a srtore of his own.
After some difficulty he secured a
location in a one-story brick build
ing on Sixteenth street, directly, op
posite the postoffice, which at that
time had. not bfcen constructed... . :
He succeeded in borrowing $1,620
011 a l:on" he h:id built tor Ins
mother. This capital was diminished
when he- fulfilled the lifelong dream
of his mother to retuwi to her home
in Europe. It was further dimin
ished when Mr. Edholm took upon
himself a. w;ife, so that when his new
location was ready for occupancy he
had less than $1,000 with which to
purchase his stock.
Impressed by Shoes.
'T began to, think I'd have 'to open
without any stock," . declared Mr,
Edholm. "for the most of the large
eastern jewelers seemed unwilling to
sell to me. I learned, ' however,
there was a representative of a large
jewelry establishment of the east in
town, so. I put on my patent leather
shoesTytheywere remnants of my
wedding and went to see him. I
don't know whether the shoes im
pressed him. but anyway he agreed
tto give me- $3,000 worth of lewelry'
if 1 would pay him all the capital
I haB minus my first month's rent.
t "When the shipment finally ar
rived I found it was much smaller
than he had agreed to send, and I
spent many days spreading jf: out
over the store to. keep the, place
from looking barren. My wife and
I lived in the back of the store- and
I had a work bench back j there
where. I did reoairint. .
First Sale 10 Cents.
VI had a mirror so fixed that I
could see when a customer entered.
When one entered I hurried into
I my coat, washed mv hands, and
then went forth, praying for a sale.
Mv- first sale was a '10-cent cellu
le J
1USC. - 1
.Mr. Edholm moved t6 his pres
ent location at Sixteenth and Har
ney: streets, -in 1905. His store is
known rom coa?t to coast.
v He arrived at his decision to close
out only after morths of considera
tion. High rentals and the general
uncertain economic conditioa of the
country influenced, him in his .deci
sion, he says. . N- .. . ;r

Help the Children.
By J. J. MUNDY.
You say that you will be so glad
when your boy or your girl reaches
the stage where it will not be neces
sary for you to watch every little
move and word which they use to
express themselves.
Do you really think that time will
ever come?
Isn't it your duty to watch care
fully that the wrong thing docs not
creep in unawares?
By getting acquainted with your
boy's associates and your girl's
friends .ycti do so much along the
line of urflerstanding what is going
on in your child's heart,
Without making it too plain and
disagreeable, if you, have good sense,
you can direct, the thought and aims
and ambitions of your children, and
you ought to be glad to help with
your greater experience.
You. know of many things you
longed for as a child, and now is the
time to provide tlje advantages so
that your child cannot suffer in the
same way. ' -
. Don't become so engrossed in
your business or your home cares
and-duties that you cannot enter
into the heart of hearts of jyour
little folk and count it your dearest
privilege that you do have to sit
down every day and bore in a few
fundamentals. It will pav in the
end. and who wiJl do it if j-ou do
not? - .

Besides, few if a minimum of my

it gives them sometliing to cogitate.
Of course, it is sometimes annoy

It is my ambition to be linguistic

Johnnie Green punched a few nail

because he thought that if" he. lived
in such a place, he would want

Allow Me
Introduce
My name is Val Rommey. ' Everywhere I;
go I leave a trail of excitement behind me like
a sputtering- fuse of a firecracker. 4 It is true
that occasionally there is an explosion. For
example, the day that. I tried to drag a 25-.
pound laborer out of his seat in a street car
and gotsa. black eye and a, smashed hat for'
' my trouble.. . I go merrily along doing exactly
as 1 1 please, and manage to keep out of jail
by a small margin.
- I went to-the opera one night, feeling par
ticularly effervescent.. There wift a back 'in
front of me. A very remarkable and beautiful
back, and thought, "Party next to the pretty
back is probably her father; I wonder what her
face is like. I have had some awful disappoint
ments." And then I noticed her. shoulders were
twitching. I twitched in sympathy, for there
suddenly came to me a vivid memory, of a fash
ionable yachting party during which I had been
attatked by a most excruciating itch between
my shoulder bWdes just o-utf reach. It was
evident that the owner of the beautiful back
was fn similar distress. I fidgeted in my seat.
The impulse was overpowering. I could not
resist it any longer. I reached out with my
gloved hand and scratched this fascinating
back. Oh, boy! that's where the trouble started.
I can't spoil the story by telling you what
happened, jlftit take my advice if you want a
good hearty laugh see v
