which we had spent years in building up. The de-
cison to change such well established business
quired very strong reasons. Particularly when it
Is realized that the officers of Bradley, Merriam &
Smith have always enjoyed reputation as keen,
progressive and successful business men,
The first of two powerful reasons for our radical
decision was the fact that Eastern Mail Ordev
Houses were actually able to sell direct to the farm
ers the same implements we sold at about the same
prices we were compelled to ask of dealers This
was hard competition to fight. You remember the
old saying:"H you can't fight them, join them"
The second reason was the discovery that at that
time more than $50 ,OOO, 100000 was being sent out
of the territory of Omaha every year. this money
going to eastern mail order houses for the purchase
OF things we eat, wear and use. The sum of $780,
O00,000.0 90 was big enough then 1t has increased
to $50,O00000Q0 this last year, and is constantly
growing. -
That isa tremendous business. We are going
after the lions share of it.

No Watered or Promotion Stock

There is watered or promotion stock nor
will there be any. No stock will be given or sold
to any officer, director or individual at less than
you pay.
Regular dividends are payable the first day of
January, April, July and October of each year. Ex-
ira dividends are payable in January of each year.
The orders are ready and waiting for US In this
territory and the increased capital will enable us to
do, in two three years, what would take fifteen or
twenty years to do through any normal growth.

making, with bigger profits yet to come mail us to-

more catalogs, for catalogs statesmen and our
display counters The business can bring in is in
direct proportion to the number of catalogs we
place in the hands of prospective buyers.
Another reason why we need more capital is to
enable us to buy in larger quantities and to carry
larger stock of many and varied lines of mer-
chandse which are being demanded daily by
customers.
To. give you idea of how big the demand for
our merchandise has become, and how necessary it
is to have larger working capital, our volume of
sales for the week ending Saturday, October l.,
1919 was 312 times large for the correspond
ing week in 1918. This is increase Of 252ao.

kind of goods that our customers in this territory
want. For these reasons we. in Omaha, are in a
position to this territory better than any other
mail order house.
We are very FORTUNATE in having an organiza-

Remember that this company has passed
through the experimental stage, and we are firmly
established in the mail order business. The past four
years have been devoted to putting the business on
sound financial basis and creating the good will not
only of the customers, but of hundreds of bankers
and business throughout the whole western
territory.
The very existence of this investment opportu-
nifty is due to the wonderful progress we have made.

Strong Advantages Over Competitors

We are able to buy as cheaply as Eastern mail
order houses We are able to quote prices in our
catalogs which, on the whole, are the same or even
less than quoted in catalogs of Eastern mail order
houses.
In addition, the people in this territory save
large amount of freight charges by buying from us,
as it is customary in the mail order business for the
purchaser to pay the freight. Cost of freight is
siderably lower from Omaha to points in this terri
tory than from Chicago or New York.

The opportunity to invest in the stock of any Of
the above mentioned companies is past but similar

and with the increased business made possible by
this expansion the possibilities are even better for
the future.
The Securities Commission at Des Moines and
the Bureau of Securities at Lincoln both approved
the sale of this security and commented favorably
on the financial statements which this company pre-
sented. The book value of the stock (not including

The aero-auuatic "duck race" the pros

the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
TO a protest in which all admirers of
ducks joined, took place here this
afternoon in front Of the Hotel Clifton
William A. Riley, proprietor of the
hotel and originator of the project,
escaped arrest, but not wholly by
virtue Of the false mustachc he had
assumed as a disguise early in the day.
With much pomp and ceremony, a
duck of high degree was brought last
night from EastPort' the social centre
of duckdon. The duck was on cx-
hbition this morning at dog show
at the hotel. Besides the duck there
were nine dogs entered in the show
and nine blue ribbons we're awarded.
The duck didn't get a blue ribbon,
but it got lots of sympathy, .particu
larly from women guests who were
Mortified at is impending fate.
The part the duck was to play was
the double role Of projectile and
quarry. 1t was to be dropped into
Great South Bay from Lieutenant Will
lam Walton's scaplanc. Then the
champion swimmers or the south SnOre
were to start from the beach. The

duck was to win A great deal de-

Throngs gathered on the shore,
among them the women who had shed
tears over the duck earlier in the day.
Jerry Howard, an agent Of the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ami
mails, was prominently on hand with an
assistant. Mr.. Riley also was on hand,
completely disguised and somewhat en-
barrassed by false mustache of the
sheriff type. He had been wearing the
mustache ever since Jerry Howard ap-
peared.
The duck, not at all abashed by the
attention directed to it nor apparently
shaken by Jerry's admonition to the
aviator:
Remember now, descend to twenty
feet before you drop that duck" was
carefully placed in the seaplane and
Lieutenant Walton started.
He scared to height of at least
500 feet and then the watchers saw
something white Autter down from the
plane. There were gasps and little
