George Known in Omaha, Vice President George presided at the | openiing session. Willlam George is not un- known among Ommha' business men. He hulls from Jane county, Illinois, on the banks of the Fox river, and is engaged in varlous pursuits. In that country he is known as half banker, half manufacturer, half farmer and half breeder and one of the successful business. men of the state, To Omaha business men he is known as a member of the exeeutive.council of the American Bankers' “assoclation and as former president of the Tilinols Bankers' assoclation. He is a graduate of the Uni- versity of lowa. Vice President George ‘states that al- though his business may be made up of four haives, one of the biggest halves is that concerned with breeding. At the open- ing sesslon he outlined the work to be |taken up by the association and of the plans made for extending the scope of the organization. Probably one of the most | business matters to be taken up will be the matter of literature. A movement is | |on foot to lssue either a = quarterly or monthly magazine in addition to the usual yearly report. It nas heen demonstrated that the assoclation is growing rapidly, The imported models and American creations—Evening Wraps, Street Coats, Three-Piece Costumes, Tdilored Suits, Silk Gowns, Tailored Dresses, Skirts, W aists, Fine Furs—everything for personal adornment—reach the nearest point to perfection at this time.
