makes friends easily even if it
costs him a piece Of money to do
so.
In 1924, he had Omaha just
about covered, and too, from his
beginning, this raincoat business
was built at intervals while he was
not on his run on the Union Pacific
Railroad Dining car, and with the
full cooperation of his lovely wife
Mrs. Grace Davis.
Having Omaha well worked, he
branched out into the States, US
ing a rented automobile. Covering
about half Of the State, learning
that such trips would be a profit,
and more profit for himself if he
had his own car. In 1925 he pur-
chased a car of his own, and had
it figured down to a gnats hind
heel, that the price of the rented
car per month would more than
make his monthly payments on
his own car. 1t worked out as he
had planned and in twelve months
the car was his. At the end of
1925 he had his raincoat sales
planted throughout Nebraska sell
ing to both colored and white.
During this adventure, things
did not always go well with Davis,
neither did he get encouragement
at all times. Some of his best

Iowa beginning at Council Bluffs
and on into the Dakotas, and car
ring his samples to Salt Lake.
City, Utah, and Los Angeles, the
other ends of his trip when he
went out thereby selling on both
ends and in the middle.
He worked his business in this
fashion until about 1885. He open
ed a store at 242O Lake in the EIk's
building with a new line Of mer-
chandise washing machines, and
electrical appliances Of all kind.
His first big display was a double
booth in the Omaha Guides an
nual Food show at the Elk's build
ing later moving to oath Street and
still selling %raincoats. His bust
ness kept growing.
The next year he added a small
supply of wearing apparel for men,
then women and later children.
Expanding his business, the phon-
ograph records were added along
with diamonds, watches, silver
ware gifts and a complete line Of
home furnishings. The store was
given the name of 1.-THE Omaha

friends would discourage him say
ing you viii never make a success
selling rain coats, why not sell
something else. Others would say,
man, you are losing time, people
will buy raincoats from downtown
as they have always done. How
ever, there was one friend Robert
s. Simmons, who was residing in
Omaha at that time who gave him
encouragement and assistance.
Simmons first bought a r~aincoat,
he gave Davis weekly publicity
through the columns Of the Chi
cago Defender of which he was a
writer and a Distributor in ON
aha, and this made RaincOat Davis
more popular and well known. To-
day, Davis gives Simmons much
credit for his success. r. S. Sim
mons now resides in Chicago and
is Publicity Director for the Negro
American League with head quart
ers in the Windy City,"
On various occasions shipments
Of r~aincoats did not arrive on time.
Davis would get on the telephone
or jump in his car and notify each
customer that he had placed an
order, explaining why they had not
received their coats. Davis '
got discouraged, but had a determ-
nation to make a successful bust

a position to purchase two coats.
The young salesman sold two
coats for such a length of time
until he was able to purchase three.
He continued to single, double, and
triple his sales until one day he
was able to purchase a dozen coats.
Before that year was gone, you
could see on the backs of men and
women, coats purchased from Davis
as they strolled along Gath and
Lake Streets. 1t was at Christmas
time of that year that he was given
the nickname of "RaincOat" Davis.
In 1921, he put forth a double eff
fort to do better than he did in
1920. So the following year, be-
lieving in advertising he secured
a bottle of bluing for his blue paint
and a box of red shoe polish for
his red paint and with a ten cent
store sign painting brush, at
night he would paint signs until
every corner and most every place
of business in the North Side was
literally covered with "Rain Coat"
Davis's merchandise for sale.
That year he sold 500 raincoats
with a net profit of S1,575.O0. Still
determining to go further, he did
like most successful business men,
put his profits back into his bust
ness. He is a good mixer, and

AUX Bay Fisherman,
MauIed by Brownie,
CrawIs Six Miles

Olaf Heller, AUX Bay fisherman,
smiled cheerfully this morning at
st. AIMS Hospital as he lay with
his battered leg in a temporary
casing of bandages and told of his
encounter with brown bear while
hunting south of Lisianski Strait.
With his friend, John WHITTIER, on
the gasboat Emma, Heller had been
fishing in the vicinity of Port AL
thorp. The latter decided to try for
a deer, and his companion landed
him on the beach, from where Heller
climbed to timberline. He shot a
three point buck, and was dressing
him when he saw another deer some
distance up the mountain. Taking
a quick shot, Mr. Heller followed the
second deer to find out whether he
had hit him. Finding he had not,
he returned to the first deer, which
lay in an open country with only
a few clumps of bushes nearby.
Hearing a rustling in the nearest
clump of bushes, the hunter turned
in time to see a brownie charging
him. He was able to get in one
shot, when the gun in his hands was
broken in two, as the brownie knock
ed him down, and grabbing the
mans leg, broke the bone, began
chewing it and started worrying him
downhill. With the stock of the gun
still in his hand, Hellers other hand
encountered the barrel, which he
grasped and struck the brownie over
the head as terrific a blow as he
was able. The bear ceased the at
tack and retired to the bushes, but
did not go away.
The injured man then removed
his shirt which he tore into strips,
making a crude splint with the aid
of some rope he carried, pushed the
protruding bone back into place and
bound it, Then by means of hopping
and crawling, he made his way
through the rough country, six miles
to the beach.
Mr.. WHITTIER appeared with the
boat and helped his friend to get
aboard the Emma, and took him to
Port Althorp A Navy doctor inn
mediately poured a sulpha drug
into the wounds, and Heller spent
the night in the hospital there.
On Wednesday morning about 8
O'Clock an ATS boat brought him
to Juneau, and he was taken to st.
AIMS Hospital, where he underwent
an operation yesterday afternoon.
Drs. j. O. Rude and L. p. Dawes are
the physicians in charge. Due to
the nature of the wounds, it will be
some time before the usual cast can
be applied.
Mr.. Heller is married and came
to Juneau in 1884.

WAR IS NOT
OVER YET,|S
ARMY View

WASHINGTON, Nov. IL - The
Army Intelligence, whose business
it is to get all information obtain
able about the enemy, blue-printed
the Congressional examination OF
reasons why many military author
tiles don't share the recent public
optimism over the prospects OF
winding up the war IN a hurry.
Mayor General George Strong
acting chief of the Military Intel
ligence Division, after an exhaus-
tive review of what the United Ma
tons are still up against, made this
oberservation:
Our main advantage in the
struggle is our ability to produce
weapons. If through unwillingness
to face the facts we give up this
advantage, if through over optim-
ism we slow down production apc
relax our efforts, we may find oul
opportunity for victory has escaped
us permanently"
The blueprint consisted of a re-
view of a recent address by Stronf
before the House members in Sc
cret session, in which he presented
data indicating that the Germans
are stronger now than in 1899 wher
they invaded Poland and said that
the real fight against Japan in the
Pacific is only started.
