SKINNER PACKING PLANT GREATLY ENLARGED
, We originally planned the Skinner Packing plant to be four stories and basement. We are now making It sli storls basement and large
sub-basement. The sub-basement, basement and the first four stories are completed. The plant when completed will hare a total of eight floors.
we nave ai;o auuea a ny-producta building of six stories, which makes the complete plant 430 feet long by 200 feet wide.
This does not include the loading dock, which on the Hast are 14 feet wide and on the north and south sides are 12 feet
wide. In addition, we have an office building, 60x53, two stories and basement. In which will be located the general offices of
the tympany and on the top floor offices for the government lnectors and dining room for the men employees of the plant,
also garage 60x511, a stories; top floor superintendents office and dining room for women employes. The plant has a total of
474,102 square feet pf floor space.

building will have a daily carrying rapacity of 1.200 to 1,500 hog, 250 cattle and 500 sheep. The plant now under construe

In size and present high efficiency tnantalned throughout. As an example: By adding the second cold storage unit, the total
killing capacity given above ran be maintained for 800 days In the year.
NKW WHOLESALE MARK ITT AND PIIODUCK DEPARTMENT
The Skinner Packing Company established their Produce Department in their own building at Twelfth and Donglaa
Streets In July, 1918. The business has met with phenomenal success and we are doing a large profitable volume of business,
but as yet have merely scratched the surface as to this department.
The Produce Department Is under the management of Jules II. Rosenbaum, a man of years of experience In the Pro
duce business.
Our produce department has been moved temporarily Into the old Kirchbaum Creamery building on Howard street
where It will be conducted while we are erecting our new wholsale market and produce building. AU the tenants In the Met
ropolitan Hotel win move on June 1st. We will at once start wrecking this building and will erect on this corner a new mod
ern eight-story and basement, re-lnforced concrete building, 99x132 feet with trackage. First floor, which to 22 feet high, will
house our wholesale market and produce department office. Jfie basement will be used for dry storage the next Ave floors
will be cold storage and the two top floors will be used for handling egg, chicken picking, and chicken feeding. This building
and the Produce Department are owned by the Skinner Packing Company.
This up-to-date brach house will give the Skinner Packing Company an Inevitable standing and an opportunity to give
the local retailers of Omaha and Council Bluffs real service. There Is a shortage of cold storage space In Omaha and if the
Skinner Packing Company desires to lease any space It already been spoken for. ' "

Skinner Packing Company, City. .
Gentlemen: Was quite agreeably surprised to learn that yon are contemplating a cold storage warehouse to be erected
on 12th and Douglas streets. This only goes to show that yon are familiar with the needs In this locality. For the last two or
three years we have found it a difficult matter ot secure the necessary storage space.
For your Information we have paid out the round sum of S25.0O0.0O last year for cold storage charges. Practically all
of this was paid to cold storage houses located In other states. ,
Might also add Uiat location selected by you Is an Ideal ones It Is situated In the produce center and wholesale district
where it Is easy to get to and from, and have every reason to believe that yon will have your house fall thirty days after you
have opened for business.
Trust this enterprise contemplated by you will be pushed through at an early date as possible, assuring you of onr hear
Yours very truly, w
