I"1 MAO IN
There Was a Elg
Dinner
at a big hotel in Omaha one night A
commercial organization gave it, and one
of the purposes was to encourage and
develop trade in Omaha.
"I notice they always use cigars made in
New York or Harrisburg, Pa., at these
dinners," said a man employing twenty
eight men in an Omaha cigar factory.
The Omaha cigar maker knew exactly how it
was. He had often wondered why he was em
ploying twenty-eight men instead of 280. It must
be a matter of brand, rather than of goods.
And yet the money he pays for wages in Omaha
is exactly the same brand the man in Harris
burg uses.
