! progressive business methods
Omaha daily bee., 1911-04-16

This is the story of how little one-room
clothing store has grown with each sue
ceeding year until today It is the largest
clothing establishment in this city devoted
to ready-to-we apparel for men, women
and children.
Back in 1886 when Omaha was but
prophecy Of it's present size, Messrs. Nor
ris Levy, NJ. S:rasburger and Herman Cohn
established on the corner of Fourteenth
and Douglas streets mems clothing and
furnishing store under the name of the
Nebraska Clothing company, occupying but
one room on the ground floor of a very
modest sized building. There were at this
time but very few clothing stores in the
city-in none of which had the policy of
"one-p rice-to-all' been introduced.
The proprietors of the Nebraska" re-
allied at once that the only successful
way TO conduct a clothing store and the
only way in which they could hope to
retain the patronage OF their customers
year after year, made this "one-price to-
an policy one Of the principles OF their
store.
Another of the almost unheard of ideas
in those days was the fact that instead of
the Nebraska" store sents it's buyers to
the greatest wooden mills Of the country
and bought the fabrics for their garments
after personal examination and test OF
the quality of each fabric. This, of course,
resulted in giving the "Nebrs ska" store
not only the benefit of a considerable saw.
ing in price of their fabrics, but also in
sured a standard of quality that could be
maintained in no other way
AS may be imagined such progressive
ideas as these. although today admitted to
be the only satisfactory methods, were at
that time the source of much amusement
to the other clothing stores of the country
However, the amusement of the "Nebras-
kas" competitors shortly changed to con-
sternation by reason of the fact that the
"Nebraskas" methods enabled them to
sell garments of better quality for less
money than their competitors were forced
to ask
AS may be imagined the success of a store
founded on such sound principles and such
progressive ideas as these, was almost
instantaneous. Hardly more than year
from the opening of the store, the proprie.
tors were compelled to add more space tc
accommodate their volume Of trade.
At the beginning of the third year OF
this firms business, there had been sc
many requests received from out-of-towr
people that 1t was deemed to be not only
a matter of policy, but one of absolute
necessity to establish a separate depart

ment to care for the wants and needs Of
out-of-town customers.
This department was accordingly estab-
lished, catalogues issued, and to say that
it met with almost the same degree Of sue
cess would be rather undertaking than
overstatlng the real facts of the case
Practically every article of ready to wear
apparel for men, women and children is
Illustrated and described in this big book
Tons and tons of these catalogues are sent
out each spring and fall to customers re-
siding in all parts of the United States
Practically every state in the union is
represented on the mailing list of this
company.
By constantly adding new space to their
original store room on Fourteenth and
Douglas, the Nebraska" store was able
to care for It's patrons for nearly ten years.
1t was then seen that before any great
length of time, new building must be
secured. Consequently their present four
story brick structure on the corner of
Farnam and Fifteenth streets was erected.
This building covers ground space OF
Il by 1872 feet and is the largest building
in Omaha devoted exclusively to ready
to-wear garments for men, women and
children. There are approximately $4,000
square feet of floor space in this store.
In accordance with the progressive spirit
of this firm the store building has been
lately remodeled at a cost of nearly So, 900
AT the first OF the present year 1t was
| decided to remodel this store throughout
install new fixtures and make such other
| Improvements as would insure its being
the most modern clothing store in the west
! To this end no expense nor trouble which
would contribute to this result has been
! spared. Shortly after this plan was de
! cided upon Mr.. Philip Schwartz. secretary
of the company, and Mr.. +. II. Dillingham;
! window decorator were sent on an ex-
tended tour of the east to learn the newest
ideas in store decoration both inside and
| out.
The majority of the largest eastern cities
were visited and the leading stores of each
city were inspected in search Of the very
newest and most modern arrangements
fixtures, etc. Upon mis- return Mr. Gilling-
! ham designed the show windows, which
were so beautifully decorated and opened
| to the public last week. Many of the new
fixtures both for the windows and the in
terror Of the store. were designed by Mr.
Gillingham, some of them being made IL
the store under his supervision.
The interior OF the first floor has beer
fitted with new green weathered oak dis
play counters OF the latest pattern. As II
the past, the first floor will be devoted
mainly to a showing of mems, women's

paid S3,0O0,OD to the Southern Pacific for
the privilege of doing business on that line,
and, in addition, pays the same railroad 20
per cent OF ell gross receipts. That the
express companies are able to make this
double payment for their transportation
and still distribute extra dividends of 300
per cent, is, to say the least, an astounding
situation.
In 1892 J. ]. HIN organized the Great
Northern Express company to operate over
the railroad of the same name. II started

with a capital OF stock Of $4,000. although
as late as June 30, 1909, it had but su,-
1881 in property, real estate, fixtures ana
equipment Nevertheless, since 1892 1t has
paid dividends Of SO, 10000 its present div!-
dend is at the rate OF 60 per cent; II has
accumulated cash and other assets Of
Sl,4SS,Ss1, and all OF these dividends and
accumulations have arisen from earnings
remaining after payment of from 10 to Sc
per cent Of its gross receipts TO the rail-
roads.

understood before that; nothing was re-
ceived by the Pacific Express company for
the issue Of this s6OOO,OOO of stock? Do
these railroad companies own the stock?
Ayes, sir.
Q.-These twelve stockholders are the
railroads The railroads get these per
cent dividends on the stock?
Ayes, sir.
Before another State Railroad commits
sion an officer Of the company stated that,
so far as he knew and so far as the
records show, no cash was received for
the 100000 stock.
Whatever legal view we may take of
this curious stock issue, there is no room
for doubling that IT has Served ais a de-
vice for the extortion of money from the
shipping public, for express charges are
made high enough to more than pay div
idends on the stock
PacIfIc's Dividends
Starting in business with no capital ex-
cept such as may have been temporarily
loaned to it by the railroads in control the
Pacific Express company has paid dividends
OF IS. 900 in twenty years and in addition
has been paying to the railroads, which
owned all its stock, about 80 per cent of its
gross receipts of more than 100000 a
year. A large block of stock recently
changed hands at $500 a share, and yet we
have seen how it was issued without con-
sideration in cash or property. Indeed, II
is said the company operated for eight
years before the stock was issued at all.
We have seen how Wells, Fargo & Co.

No Cash for stock.

II has frequently been asserted by mer-
chains and shippers that the stock Issues
OF the express companies are merely a de-
vice TO make possible the exaction OF un-
reasonable charges. Perhaps the most di.
rect case in point is that OF the Pacific
Express company, organized in 1879 TO do
business OF the Union Pacific and Gould
railroads, Before the Indiana Railroad
commission, John 4. Brewster. auditor of
the company, recently testified that there
were twelve stockholders and 100000 of
