Steel Tank Business 1
Shows Great Growth
Some 13 years ago A. N. Eaton
started the manufacture of steel tanks
under the name of "Th Nehracl
& Iowa Steel Tank comDanv." in
a very small way, employing two men
besides himself, occunvincr a small
building at Twenty-fourth and Grant
streets, boon outgrowing these quar
ters, he moved to a larcrer builrlino-
near Fourteenth and Nicholas streets,
which afforded adequate facilities for
the time. However, due to the ever
increasing business, it was apparent
larger quarters must be secured, and
a desirable building not being obtain-
rtuie, iur. naton aeciciea to erect a
factory building in accordance with
the manufacture of his products, and
large enough, as he supposed, ft take
care of the business for a long time.
rroperty was purchased at Th r-
teenth and Willis avenue, where he
erected a building having floor Space
of 20,000 square feet Additions be
ing added from time to time until to
day the factory buildings cover an
area of 40,000 square feet, employ
ing 80 men in the shops.
Mr. Eaton personally invites con
vention visitors to visit the Nebraska
& Iowa exhibit at the Auditorium
in connection with the Mid-West Im
plement Dealers' convention, Novem
ber 21, 22 and 23.
Bailey Says Implement
Business Sure to Be Good
According to T. L. Bailey of the
Watts Manufacturing company, there
hasn't been a corn crop failure in
eastern Nebraska or western Iowa in
25 years and all the talk about soft
corn and loss is due to the usual pessi
mism which ' prevails when there is
the least doubt about the outcome.
Bailey asserts that nothing short of
an unheard.of weather condition could
bring aout a loss of over 10 per cent
in the corn crop now. ' True, some
of the corn is soft, but fair of cold
weather will absorb all of this mois
ture and put the corn-in first-class
shape.
"Considering things from the worst
side, if the corn crop were damaged
one-third it would stil! Jeave a' crop
to boast of," said Bailey. "In the IS
years which I have been in the imple
ment business things have never
looked better to me nor have I seen a
better October from a sales stand
point." ;
OUR exhibit at the Mid-West
Implement Dealers' convention
will contain much of interest to con
vention, visitors; We will hold open
house at the factory during the days
of Nov. 21, 22 and 23. Do not fail to
visit our plant, the best equipped of
its kind in the United States.

"She ran live without wheat
And live without meat.
But civilized woman ran't live
without sweets:"
Or so they the men said sow.,
weeks ago when the sugar famine be
gan. "Poor dears, whatever will they do
without their extra lumt-s and theif f
sugary fluffy nothings that they call '
luncheons?" exclaimed the men. "It's
too iad, but war always hits the
women the hardest," they sighed,
brushing a tear or two from their
sympathetic eyes.
Time went on, the sugar allowance
dwindled in the restaurants and candy
roy a few cents every day, yet no
perceptible marks of privation were
discernible on - milady's blooming
cheeks. 1
Then we noticed men began to weai
a hungry look as they came out from
those cafes that limited their custom
ers to one lump per cup. Boxes of
crndy left on the society editor's desk
disappeared mysteriously during the
night when only stern, serious men
night editors and night police court
reporters were abroad in the city
room of The Bee.. We began to think' (
a bit.. Were women being maligned
and was .it possible they hadn't a
monopoly of the sweet teeth of the
world ? )
We began to watch the men at their
lunch and noted 6ome remarkable
facts. First, we have yet to observe
a single man's order that didn't con
tain dessert.
Woman often makes out with salad
and a cup of scantily-sweetened tea
instead of dessert. But man demands
pie and more pie and yet again pi' ; It
is quite common to see a man dining
with two desserts before him. And
we'd hate to promise you a dollar for
every man you find loading his cafe
teria tray with three dishes of sweets
A woman in a restaurant promised
to watch them one day and see what
the men ordered. At night she had
some nice little statistical reports.
Eight out of 10 men take sugar in
their coffee.
One man out of three says "Extrai
lump, please."
One woman out of nine asks for
extra sugar.
Nine out of .10 men take dessert.
And all men want the sweetest,
sugariest desserts they can get.
After the supper rush was over she
gavehcr theory on this weighty sub
ject.
Women Sweet Enough.
TI UIUI.U UVII kbit, 4uv.a J V
dessert as men. I am not saying wo
men don't want sweets, but they are
apt to go away without taking dessert
and they eat a little candy between
meals, while men take their sweets
at the tafcle. But a woman can get
along with a nickel's worth of candy
a day, while a man seems to need 20
cents worth of dessert at least for the
same period.
Mr. McVittie, who has sold Omaha
everything in the sweet line from the
time they bought 5-cent chocolate.bars
as kids 'till they began taking their ,
best girls $2 beribboned boxes of bon '
bons, rises to the defense of the men.
"Of course the men are my best
customers," he admits. "They buy the
big boxs while girls buy the dime
sacks. But for whom do they buy it?
The girls, of course." .
. "Are you sure?" he was asked.
We asked Mr. McVittie if he ever
heard of the boys who brought their
candy to their beloved and then s3t
around to help eat it till it was two-
thirds gone? Or the one3 who opened
the box at the show and kept it on
their laps all through the perform
ance, carried it in their coat' pockets
on the way home and absent-mindedly
forgot to hand it over to the young
lady before the front door clicked
between them? f No, he'nevqr had.
But we have, once or twice. .! A
Passing by the Paxton hotel, we
noticed an alluring sign "Chocolate
Shop."
When we got in and saw a dining
room peopled largely by men we
backed out, thinking we had entered
some neighboring grill room by mis
take. . Once more we entered and cast our
roving eye over the scene. About a
third of the men present were sam
pling, with visible relish, ffeaped up
dishes of pudding or large quarter
sections of pie, mostly the sweet tnd
squashy kind, as chocolate and cus
tard. Another third were finishing
off their roast beef medium with
pleasant anticipatory glances at the
plates of dessert the waitresses wefe
just bringing to them. The remain
ing third were giving their orders.
Intercepting a number of the hurry
ing waitresses- we discovered not a
single order blank on which no sweet
appeared.
Managing Editor Convinced.
uessertr sure, an tne gentlemen
lake pie or something like that," said
the manager. "They like to come here
because we specialize on desserts."
We had intended hunting up the
French chef of the Fontenelle to see
if the gentlemen ordered the sugary
"a las" and pastires for which French
chefs are famous. But we know they
do, so we just saved ourselves the
trouble and took the time to write
this story.
But the next time you begin Ditying
the -women because of the lack of
sweets brought about by the war,
stop and save a few tears for the poor
men. They need them too.
P. S. The managing editor has
just told us the. men always eat more
sugar than thef women. . They have
to. because they are not so sweet, he
