BOOSTS OMAHA IN NEW YORK
Presence Of Array of Omaha Buyers
Acts No a Standing
Advertisement.

Some Of the most effective advertising
that Omaha receives Ia done by the in
vasion OF the east by the army Of mer-
chandise buyers from this city. Every
buyer who goes to New York to purchase
goods is a live advertiser for Omaha
Every big purchase that is made becomes
valuable publicity and It Is advertising that
does not cost Omaha a cent.
AT present sixteen buyers from Brandeis'
Stores are in New York making purchases
OF spring merchandise, and there Is not a
month in the year that several OF Bran
deis' buyers are not in the field. These
men are actually better known In New
York than In Omaha. New York manu-
facturers recognize these buyers as a power
In the market and the effect of numbers
brings concessions from manufacturers and
importers that are refused to most retail
houses throughout the United States.
The time has passed when western buyers
went into the east to catch the atmosphere
OF styles for each season after the new
arrivals were being worn on the streets
and In the theaters and cafes. A dozen
years ago the western buyer gauged his
purchases by what New Workers. were wear
Ing. Now he ships the new seasons mer-
chandise to Omaha before the average New
York woman knows what the styles will be.
A great advantage that Brandeis buyers
have is the New York office of the Bran
deis Stores, which occupies one entire floor
of a Broadway building. This office is the
headquarters of the Brandeis resident New
York buyers. as we'll as the buyers from
Omaha.
buyers are at present In daily
consultation with the head of Brandeis'
Paris office. who comes to New York twice
a year with his corps of foreign buyers.
The various designers. tailors and manu-
facturers who make the major portion of
women's apparel for Brandeis' Stores are
instructed on points of style by this Euro
pean representative. This Is done to insure
individuality and to avoid featuring any
style not strictly correct. This feature OF
bringing European and American buyers
together is said by Brandeis' firm to be one
OF the most successful departures from the
old order OF things ever introduced. The
presence OF the European style experts on
the field has the effect OF chasing Bran
deis with the style creators instead Of the
style followers. Many OF New York's fore
most designers OF styles in women's APP
parel are eager to exchange ideas with
Brandeis' representatives instead OF refus-
ing to divulge their favorite creations until
placed on the open market. All this is of
real advantage to Omaha women.
An Omaha buyer is a booster every min
ute of the day and on every trip he finds
that Omeha is being accorded more and
more recognition as a good town to live
In and a good town with which to CONDUCT
business.

Everyone who uses government stamped
envelopes Is aiding the Postoffice depart

ment stamped envelopes be used. there are
no stamps to fall off in the mall. II your

In backing up Mr.. Lawshe's observation.
Postmaster Thomas said: The advantage
in using stamped envelopes in place of ad-
hesive stamps are many. Adhesive stamps
may be easily lost, misappropriated, or
may become useless through sticking to-
gether. The time consumed in sfnxing
stamps 10 also an item to consider. A
stamp may drop off In the mail. BY using
stamped envelopes ali these difficulties are
overcome. II misdirected the stamped en-

SOUTH OMAHA, Feb. ALTO the Editor
OF The Bee: The gathering Of a moi last
night after the killing OF a South Omaha
policeman has a bearing on a certain con-
dition in our country which is becoming
very serious, viz, the decay OF our court
system. II there were no sentences COM
muted, or IL there were no ~retrials, would
a mob ever congregate to take justice in
its own hands3 Is not mob rule a positive
backslide? Our mobs are not composed OF
rowdies, either The honest, upright, mid
die class predominant in these so-called
mobsi men who think. men who form the
backbone Of the nation" 1t must be this
sort of men, for rowdies have neither the
courage nor mind to get up in arms on such
an occasion.
Now, IL such men rise on the instant to
deal summarily, what Is the cause for such
action by such men? The answer lie, that
the sentences Of the courts are not exc
cuted often enough. Men know that in the
majority of cases the murderer is not pun
ished. Is II not time that a remedy be
sought? Should the governor be allowed
the pardoning and Communication power7
Should more than one retrial ever be al
lowed? Why do not our legal lights who
represent us in the legislature frame a
remedial measured? Or, II such a law can
not be passed under the present constitu-
ton, let us have a constitution that will
allow immediate punishment for crimes
where the evidence is as clear as In the
killing OF Patrolman Ed Lowery.

piled with water from a fine stream head
