AR There Are Discounts and Discounts. 1t is almost an hourly occurrence in our store to hear some cust'mer argue the fact that at some place they can get a discount of 10 or 12% per cent. For the benefit of the gereral public we wish to state that our ghoes are marked In plain figures at such prices that we cannot give a discount to any- body, not even dealers. Had we arranged for a discount trade we would have been compelled to add 10 per cent to the selling price in order to take it off, which would be a simple matter, as you well know.

T. E. Cramblet In the Christian Herald, the organ of the First Christian church, “closed the fourth of our work in Omaha, While we' are consclous of the fact that more ought to have been done, we nevertheless take en- couragement from the visible results of our labors in this confessedly difficult field, and we think we speak advisedly. I have never known a preacher among those who are now in the city, and those who have labored here in the past, who had the least hesitation in making this assertion. This is true of every denomination operating in Omaha. Some of the causes of this condition of things we might name, but our purpose in this ar- ticle runs in another direction. We started out to speak of the visible results of our work in the First church. In addition to the es- tablishment of the Grant street church, and two promising missions, there has been a constant growth in the central organization.” The accessions to the church by years are as follows: Other ources, Total. 7 124 12 87 164 Baptisms, Letters [ 1894 ..

So will the king of Denmark and the prince of Wales. Nor will America be unmindful of the festival of this renowned warrlor.

Mr. Nevens says that no trouble or expense will ba spared in making the factory as complete as_possible. During the past few months the company has been turning out the cheaper grades of ready made clothing, in addition to the re lar lines of goods usually made by an ov alls factory. As scon as it fis established in its new quarters it will enlarge this branch and make a full line of ready made clothing of all grades up to $10 per suit, which to move five to floors, 66x12 increase ing used in the west. This is practically a new line of manufac- ture for the west, and one that promises much for the city. The money sent out of the state for clothing every year runs into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Mr. Nevens says that free wool has made it posible to buy much better goods for the same money, the reduc- tion in the price amounting to from 15 to 20 per cent at the mills. The strong competition in the cast has led the clothing manufacturers there to turn out an immense amount of shoddy goods, and the people are tired of that kind of stuff. The west, according to Mr. Nevens' idea, demands a good class of goods, the people will buy where they can be sure of getting only good goods. For (hese reasons Mr. Nevens belleyes that the present is a good time to introduce this branch of manufacture into Nebraska. WHAT THE OTHERS ARE DOING. The Kilpatrick-Koch Dry Goods company started ifs factory about a year ago and has gradually increased its business, until now it has double the output that it started with, It finds that there is a good demand for first class goods in the west, and that there is a growing distaste for the cheaply made eastern goods. The people of the west want full sizes and first class Boods made up in the strongest and most durable style. The best trade is east of the Rocky mountains in eastern Colorado and Wyoming, Nebraska and South Dakota. West of the mountains Omaha manufacturers come Into competition with the cheap goods made by Christmas is almost ever saw.

This is for a week of six days of eight hours oh. The work is not of that character that tends to wreck the body or distract the mind, but is as easy as most any kind of work can be.

St. Joseph is the largest manufacturing point fo far as this class of goods is concerned in the west, | They employ over 2,000 people in their ove jalls factories and a large share of their trade comes from Nebrasla, Ncbraska merchants whine about the lo:s | of crops in this state,” eaid a business man, “but the ocrasional loss of a crop would be a small matter if the industries were devel- oped as they might be and the money kept at : home. As it is the merchants send about all the money that they get out of the state, and when there comes a loss of crops there is no money left in the state and times become about as bad as they could be. Omaha retal merchants are wont to mention other western cities as being better retail points than Omaha, but how could they expect it to be otherwise when other cities are building up thelr manufacturing industries and keeping hundreds of people at work with the money sent from Omaha, while our own people have a hard time to find work.
