Retail Dealers Association VIII
Work for an Improvement.
The Retail Dealers association Is taking
up the agitation in favor of Omaha mer-
chants showing more loyalty to the city in
which they live. and at the meeting next
Tuesday night this matter will be one Of
the principal subjects considered. In talk
ing Of the need Of work on this line A.
Hospe, jr., said: There Is too much OF a
tendency on the part of many business men
to attribute all their commercial troubles
to a poor business. l know Of men who,
when they needed no goods In a certain line,
instead of openly saying to the travelling
man that such was the case, would take on
a respondent air and declare that they could
not sell them IL they had them and for that
reason would order no more. The travelling
man only comes In contact with the business
man, and after he meets a few who give
him this kind of a reception he Is not to
be blamed IL he goes away and circulates
| the report that the city Is dead in a commer-
cial Sense. What we need among our busi-
ness men Is a little more charity for con-
ditions, which will cause them to speak well
of their city and not attribute every i'll to
the lack of advantages for business. The
retailers will try to instill this doctrine
through. a vigorous campaign In behalf Of
| loyalty to the city and it's interests"
Mr.. Hospe also said that there were other
| important matters to come up at the meet
ing next Tuesday evening, in which every
| retailer in the city will be interested. He
| said another visit will be made to Chicago
in a few days to call upon the commission
| No. 4 to endeavor to secure another reduc-
ton in insurance rates as promised by the
| commission some time ago.
