Loyal L. smiths Boom.

One OF the great sensations OF the Omaha
dry goods trade was the advent Of Loyal
/. Smith, who began business in this city
about 1888. He opened with a flourish OF
trumpets and q cutting of prices which
astonished all dealers and customers.
Goods could be bought at the house of
Smith for less than they cost the dealer in
New York. The desire for trade was so
great In the mind OF. the manage OF that
store that he drew upon the entire state.
Special trains were run from surrounding
towns, bringing to Omaha free Of charge
the persons who were to purchase goods
from the emporium which had sprung up
as Jonah's gourd. Business men stood
aghAst at the temerity OF the young ma
poleon of the yardstick," but the inevitable
crash came when 1t was found that, backed
by a good credit. Mr.. Smith had avoided
the necessity for paying for any Of the
goods. His sales, aside from rent and clerk
hire. were all profit for the time. Talk of
prosecution resulted in nothing, for II was
q case Of ''hrst catch your man." and the
enterprising Mr.. smith refused to be
caught. The sequel of this Omaha expert
ence was told several years later. Mr..
smith went to that ill-dehned territory
known as "the east" Nothing was heard
OF him for many years and his skyrocket
career had passed into tradition and its
history TO the loss account on the ledEers
of the Wholesale houses, when Mr.. Smith
suddenly came to life and paid every cred
ttor In full. He is now a millionaire OF
New York and Is considered one of the
most conservative and at the same time
fearless OF the men who operate on "the
street"

at a point near their dwelling.
From a conversation with MFR.
