ArthurD. Brandeis Becomes
Vice-President of Well
Known Firm.
COMPANY'S BUSINESS
GREW TO GREATNESS
From Little Store, Founded "A
Years Ago, II Advanced to One
Using $4,000 So. Fl.

A Western element was added TO an Old
New York business house yesterday when
Arthur d. Brandeis. president OF J. J..
Brandeis & Sons, OF Omaha. entered upon
his duties as lce-president OF stern
Brothers.
Mr. Brandels is one OF the prominent
merchants OF the West. and according
10 a bographer, is "a model OF industry,
business capacity and good judgment.
His duties in the house Of Stern Brothers
will be such as 10 make his presence In
New York essential and on that account
he has arranged TO devote all his time
TO the business in which he became an
active member yesterday, having ar
ranged before his departure from Omaha
for the management of his interests In
that city.
Aside from the great department stores
Of which he is the head, his firm OWLS
the American Hippodrome Theatre, the
American Hall, the Standard Theatre the
Courtney Building Stores and other I'M
portant property In Omaha.
In speaking of his becoming a member
of the New York business community
Mr. Brandeis said that he is not coming
to a new field and that his business had
for many years brought him in contact
with New York, and that for some years
he had maintained a residence in the city,
his daughter having married Irving g.
Stern, OF Stern Brothers.
The corporation Of Stern Brothers vas
formed about forty-four years ago oy
Isaac, Bernard and Louis Stern, when
they opened small store on the west
side of Sixth ave, few doors south OF
cd ST. Isaac and Bernard had been IN
business at Albany. and Louis Stern
gave up place with his uncle in Peters
burg. Va, to join his brothers. The
progress of the business was rapid, ana
IL was generally conceded that the sue
cess OF the house was due TO the industry
and the individual efforts of the young
men who composed the firm. In 1873 the
business had outgrown its home in Sixth
ave. which had been enlarged several
times. and the building in I'D st. was
acquired.
When Bernard Stern died. about TWEEN
ty-four years ago, the youngest orother'
BENJAMIN Stern. was admitted to part
nershlp. He retired from the business
about four years ago. With the retire
ment of Isaac Stern, IN 1910, Louis Stern
became the only member Of the original
hrm to remain in the business. His as
sociates were his sons, Melville y. ana
Irving c.. both OF whom had for several
wears held positions of Importance in the
establishment. and his brother-in-law,
Julius G.. kugelman.
The new store. in 42d st, west OF tlftn
ave, covers an area of about 5000 square
feet, with entrances also in Sixth ave.
and i3d ST. and is in the centre Of the
shopping district.
No radical changes will be made in the
conduct OF the business because of the
entrance into it's counsels of Mr.. Bran
deis, except that the management Will be
directed by board which will consist OF
Louis Stern Melville \. Stern, Irving {.
Stern. julius 6. Kugelman and Arthur D..
Brandeis.

and that Frank would go free. He indi-
Gated that the Annie Maude Carter notes
