It’s a mere whipstitch since we said “Howdy” to young Mr. 1915. He said ‘‘Howdy,”’ gave us a business 'way beyond our greatest expectations— yes, by many thousands of dollars, and now you’re here. Think of it, Mr. 1916. Here is a business that in two short years, has made itself so necessary to Omaha that each succeeding year sees it growing greater by wonderful strides. Think it over. Can’t be luck; can’t be wealth— fillenty of people have money; can’t be shrewdness— ere never was a business with fewer secrets. It must be good service that keeps the business growing. Good service is a wheel. These are the spokes: RIGHT PRICES CAREFUL DELIVERY GREAT VARIETY FREE MONEY REFUNDING PLEASANT ATTENTION PROMPTNESS CAREFULNESS PROGRESSIVENESS We know that you, Mr. 1916, are going to help along our plans—because these plans we have in mind are all along the line of still-better service. They are worthy alone of your help. So we again pin our faith to our motto— “The Greatest Seryice to the Greatest Number” —and we’ll accomplish it, too. Mr. 1916, have you realized as you came through space to reign here for awhile, what a world you are coming to—and what a specially charming spot the United States is? The ,crops of 1915 were more valuable than ever. Factories are running full time—many night and day, while a great number of manufacturers can not fill orders promptly—giving a new significance to trade conditions in general, and this country is fast becoming a greater nation than ever in the eyes of the entire world. » The outlook is bright. Let us talk only PEACE, PROGRESS, PROS- PERITY. We are entering a New Year and a new cra as the world’s greatest business Nation, and Omaha the City of Opportunity. BURGESS-NASH COMPANY.
