HANDLES BIG EDITORIAL JOB

Hugh Chisholm gave a dinner re-
Gently to the American contributors
to the Encyclopedia Britannica.
There are 1900 contributors to this
stupendous work in England and
America They have written 10000 ar
ticles. comprising 100000 words.
Editing all this is an enormous under
taking and even the proof reading Is
n stupendous job
The issuing Of the encyclopedia is
the greatest undertaking In modern
literature. Even the binding OF It may
create n panic in the market for fine
leather. The binding OF 1000 copies
requires 1900 skins. What makes
tho task OF producing the work more
serious is the fact that It is brought
out in 2s volumes simultaneously.
whereas the last previous edition was
published one volume at a time and
took IA years TO complete.

CHOSEN SENATOR FROM MAINE

No climate in the country has been
regarded as less encouraging to the
growth of Democratic timber than
that of the Pine Tree state. but since
the thaw Of last September the mete-
geological conditions have been al
tered.
It was admitted by some political
Jeremiahs that Democratic COVER
nor might slip through the breach in
the Republican lines and intrench
himself at Augusta. but the most en-.
thusiastio visionary hardly dreamed
of a Democratic legislature or a DEM
ocratic senator. Not since 1856. when
Hannibal Hamlin crossed the Kenne-

sent to the national capital from
Maine. and not for thirty years had
any New England state elected a Dem

This rod works on a ball-bearing appa-

Back of the floor cases also are stationed

articles are kept free from dust. These
mahogany boxes are so neatly arranged
that 1t Is a simple task to display q

Each shape and size of collars has a sep

THE CLOTHING BUSINESS IN OMAHA
its Light on Few Erroneous Conceptions of Situation

omaha's rapid progress demands an ad-
vancement OF business principles and
policies in keeping with its growth.
This is especially true Of the mems
ready-to-wear clothing situation in Omaha
today.
Ten years ago a ready-made garment
was a joke to the ordinary good dresser
but today the marvellous results attained
in clothes manufacture has placed what
we once termed "hand-mc- down clothes
on an equal with the finest hand-tailored
garment Of the merchant tailors. and in
cludes a touch Of snap and vigor he can
never hope to produce. The brainiest de-
signers and cutters known are sought out
and employed by these mOdeIa go-ahead.
progressive makers, who demand" results
that are perfection" The great fault 10
overcome was lit and shape retention,
which today has been perfected 20 tho
point where alterations are rarely neces'
sary.
Depend on House Honor.
In choosing his clothes the average man
does not pay any attention TO quality; it's
either hard or a soft finished material
color or pattern ne wants. The quality Is
left entirely TO the honor Of the house
that sells him the clothes, providing they
have any reputation whatever, and he has
confidence. Otherwise he would have gone
elsewhere.
And It's confidence that outlines the
business policy OF this store. We desire TO
build our success upon your satisfaction
not az your expense.
This is going 70 be store OF better
things, not only better merchandise. but
