Enterprise of Middle West a.
Represented By Omaha
Party.

The Brandeis buyers, who are now
abroad purchasing goods for the new
store, are pursuing a systematic plan of
exploiting Omaha and Omaha industries
in Paris.
Word has Just been received By a cor
respondent Of one of the buyers that the
party has made a formal call at the execu-
tive mansion Of the president Of France
and left a handsomely engraved souvenir
loving cup of Omaha, together with
Morocco bound book Of views Of this city
with a determination not to disregard
Americas chief representative in France,
one of the buyers obtained an audience
with the United states ambassador. Mr..
Mccormick. and assured him OF the inten-
ton of putting Omaha in closer touch
with Paris through the medium OF semi
Frances capital
The news OF this enterprise on the part
of the Omaha buyers in Paris has Just
been made known through q letter re-
ceived from E Canister, buyer for J. l.
Brandeis & Sons. Mr.. Canister informs
/ his firm that he went to the Ulysses, ac-
companied By the other buyers, August
| IS, which was announced as one of Presi-
| dent Fallieres' reception days, and asked
few minutes audience. Unfortunately
/ the president had annulled this particular
! reception period on account of its prox-
! unity to July H. the national independ-
ence day of the republic of France, but
he sent his greetings to the Omaha party
| by a secretary and expressed his appre-
| citation of the gifts of the loving cup and
the portfolio of views of Omaha buildings.
In his letter Mr.. Canister, who is a native
! of France, expressed the hope that he
would be in Paris on President Fallieres
next reception day and have the distinc-
tion Of meeting the chief executive OF
France personally.
A few days after the visit at the Ulysses
Mr.. Canister called upon Ambassador Nc
Cormick and was granted brief audi
ence.
Happy visit with Mccormick.
81 found Mr.. Mccormick very agreeable
although evidently much occupied Will
business" writes Mr. Canister. He seemed
astonished to learn that store in Omaht
would evince such unusual enterprise il
sending a party of buyers abroad, and
had some trouble in making him understand
that there were actually five of us buyers
from one Omaha house in Paris, will
another TO arrive soon. OF course he tool
the middle west so closely in touch Will
Paris, and although his remarks sount
formal and stereotyped in cold writing, n
spoke with such interest and cordiality tina
I felt much pleased to have called, even 70
a brief interview. The other men felt sorr!
that they had not called with me. The!
fancied an interview with the American
minister as difficult to obtain as an audi
ence with the president OF France. and the,
had told me that was simply wasting M
time trying. I told Mr.. Mccormick that
would send him a souvenir card tray o
Omaha. I will dispatch II tomorrow whe
get 1t from Meningitis trunk"
Reports of the movements OF the Bran
deis buyers abroad show that the party ha
