Show Your Friends About the City


Omaha may not rank one of the sight
seeing points OF the compass. but it takes
very high rank in all that goes to make up a
substantial business center and well laid out
and attractive city OF culture, homes and parks.
II is therefore city OF unusual interest to
those who enjoy the profitable occupation OF
comparative study OF American municipalities.
Our own people owe 1t to their city and their
friends visiting from abroad to make them as
fully as possible acquainted with Omaha. Just
let the facts speak for themselves. Take the
visitors over the city and It's environs, let them
see the beauty and symmetry of the homes and
grounds; how those who reside here are making
this distinctly a community of homes. there
fore good place in which to live. Show them
the numerous picturesque parks and play
grounds, the massive school buildings, imposing
church edifices and hospitals, so that, impressed
as anyone must be with the superior CONNER
oial and Industrial stability of the city, he will
also for himself that We are likewise en-
gagged in building up an all-rounded municipal
ity not going in solely for business. The fact
is. that the stranger who really comes TO see
and know Omaha from such contact invariably
goes away singing her praises. And the volume
of the song depends very largely on the active
interest Of our own people, who have this sort
of opportunity.

Munich is the one town in the world
where you can do as you please. There
are other towns where you can be gay
and unrestrained. where you can be
artistic and have temperament,
where you can be practical and indus
trious, where you can be visionary and
transcendental. where you can be GER
tain and scientific, where you can be
laborer, society gosling or anarchist,
but there is only one Munich, where
you can be all of these and still be
able to pass through the streets and
not draw a crowd. Munich is the only
town in the world where you absolute
ly can do anything and everything
without living in constant dread of mo-
toriety.
Munich does not even demand of you
that you be consistent. You may be
everything at once and rest assured
that many other denizens of Munich
have tried this course and that the
wild anarchy of your chaotic person
ality will be appreciated. In a word.
you may be as strange. cratic and or

If you live in Munich, you will be

these things the better.
There are wonderful breweries in
Munich. The serious-minded young
American often finds it a matter Of
great difficulty to decide whether he

may be said that a research into this
phase of the city's life is valuable and
