OM AHA MANUFACTUM NG
DOUBLES IN FOUR YEARS
OMAHA manufacturers produced
$427,271,161 worth of merchan
dise during 1918, an increase of $100,
000,000 or 33% over 1917, and double
the figures of 1915.
These facts have been determined
by an exhaustive survey just com
pleted by the bureau of publicity of
the Omaha Chamber of Commerce.
This increase is largely due to the
increase in output and value of pack
ing house products which was $97,
000,000. In other lines the increases
offset all decreases and left a bal
ance of $3,000,000 increases.
The packing output of Omaha in
1918 was larger than the entire man
ufacturing output of Omaha in all
lines in 1916.
Omaha has reason to believe that it
still leads all large cities of the Unit
ed States in its per capita manufac
turing output.
COLORED WAITERS M \KE GOOD
Members of the New Omaha Athletic
Club High in Their Praise of Mr.
Irving Gray and His Efficient Corps
of Waiters.
On December 14, the new Omaha
Athletic cltib opened its doors to the
public and became one of the sights
among the many fine buildings that
is making Omaha a city beautiful and
known throughout the country.
As the opening of the club ap
proached, Mr. Irving Gray, well known
as headwaiter of the Loyal hotel, was
commissioned by the committee on
cuisine to secure a force of capable
and efficient waiters to take charge
of the dining room. At the time, the
commission to secure a large number
of men was something of a real task.
The war had depleted the list of avail
able men and all the hotels through
out the city were constantly sending
out calls for waiters, good, bad and
indifferent, just so they were waiters.
But nothing daunted, Mr. Gray set to
his task and when jthe doors opened
he had a force of men really repre
sentative of the best to be had in the
line of dining room service.
At the beginning, the men were
paid $40 per month, board and a bonus
of ten cents for every* person waited
upon. The bonus was something of a
new idea and some men questioned the
result, but now that the club is serv
ing an average of 800 persons a day,
the bonus has proven a most encour
aging feature of the employment. So
well pleased were the members with
the service rendered, that on January
6, the salary of the men was raised
from $40 to $60 per month and the
bonus remaining the same. Hence the
employment as waiter at the Athletic
club has become something of a pre
ferred job among the fraternity of
Omaha waiters.
Mr. Irving Gray’s staff of waiters is
as follows: Dillard Simpson, head
George Watson and Henry Innis, cap
waiter of the grill room; David Russ,
tains; Harry Schwein, timekeeper.
The waiters are: Samuel Sutton,
George Laws, A. Hicks, P. WT. Jeffer
son, G. D. Gordon, Joe Brown, A. How
ard, Thos. Phillips. Dad Clark. Roy
McCormick, L. Briggs, W. J. Moss, W.
C. Foster, E. L. Reid, J. D. Carter,
W. D. Taylor, Tony Jackson, C. E.
Russell, W. Luke, George Rawls, M.
Davis, H. F. McClure, N. Morris, Rob
ert Hunt, Calvin Ridley,' A. H. Law
rence, A. Plummer, W. H. Peyton,
Walter Bell, W. N. Moore and L. H.
Gamble. The bus boys are: Frank
Cunningham. Lester Price, Ben Simp
son, Wesley Robinson and Frank Coe.
From the list it will readily be
seen that the Athletic club force of
waiters is now the largest of any in
the city and it is to the credit of the
headwaiter and men that they have
done good team work and brought
from the club high praise and sub
stantial appreciation of their worth.
The Monitor congratulates Mr. Gray
and his men and hopes that they will
.continue in the future as in the past.
