On the Corn Exchange National Bank site,
Fifteenth and Famain streets, the first gas office
nt Omaha was opened under the management of
James E. Boyd, pioneer pork packer of' fhe west
and governor of Nebraska in ’fKi. j
Back in '68 pioneers considered Fifteenth and
Farnnm streets as out in the suburbs and gas as
a novelty, not a practical necessity. But Mr. Boyd,
as first office manager, saw in what was called
“such a small enterprise*’ the vision of a greater
Omaha.
The CORN EXCHANGE NATIONAL BANK believes that
men like -Tames E. Boyd, who have put their energy into the
successful management of small enterprises, have laid the
foundation for the big business of today. That’s why the
hank maintains the friendly, personal-interest policy of pio
neer days and considers the development of small industry as
its highest aim.
