Expert Gutter in Omaha.

Omaha has the distinction this fall OF
claiming the residence Of one man who
is designer of mems clothing. He creates
styles that are adopted and used by tailors
throughout the country, The person in
question is A. II. Proud. whose services
have been secured by the Dresher Tailor
ing company of this city. Mr. Proud's serv-
ices with the Dresher company will in
clude that of designer of hobby garments
as well as being head cutter Of this large
tailoring establishment. No tailor has ever
paid the salary, outside of New York or
Chicago, that Mr.. Dresher pays Mr.. Proud
The new cutter is a Frenchman by BIRTH
having learned the profession in Paris.
For years he has been identified with
Brooks Bros. of New York City, which
firm sends out most of the leading cutters
of the country.
Several new designs in mems clothes have
already been drafted by Mr.. Proud since
coming to Omaha and accepted by The
American Gentleman" which regulates the
style on mems garments; he is the regular
designer for this journal
1t was Mr.. Proud who first designed that
extremely popular adjunct to mans dress
the braided vests.
It has been the custom of army officers
to send for their uniforms TO Brooks Bros.
in New York. where Mr. Proud cut and
superintendent their making, but now the
Fort Crook officers are having their clothes
made by Mr.. Proud at Dresher's. He can
cut uniforms as we'll as civilian clothes, and
is one of the best cutters in the country
for riding breeches.
Mr.. Dresher is carrying the largest stock
of domestic and imported goods Of any
tailor in Omaha and selling them at a price
and giving workmanship that should be
appreciated by every man in Omaha.
Through his ability to buy at the right
price and sell accordingly, he has done
more to keep Omaha men well dressed
than any three tailors combined. His ma
terial and workmanship is the best and
he will refine any suit in which the lin
ings may not give satisfaction. or if a suit
that he turns out docs not please the Gus
toner in every way he will gladly let him
select different pattern and make up an
other suit.

Emeralds have advanced more during
the last few years than any other stone,

as in gold, fine emeralds and diamonds,

To-day pearls are perhaps more in de-
