WHAT NEBRASKA HAS ALREADY ACCOMPLISHED INDUSTRIALLY
In presenting the "Nebraska Indus
tries number of Will Maupin's
Weekly we desire to make it plain
that no effort has been put forth to
prepare a dry statistical abstract. Only
approximate figures are used, then in
a comparative way for the purpose
of fixing them firmly upon the mind.
Few people can interest themselves
in a table of - figures. Huge figures
mean little to the average man. The
human mind finds it difficult to think
in terms of millions. For instance,
when we say that in 1911 Nebraska
produced 2.000.000 tons of alfalfa,
the hearer fails to grasp the immensity
of it. But when we say that this al
falfa, if put into freight cars, would
make a train 4.000 miles long, the im
mensity of the crop becomes more
easily grasped. It is after this fash
ion that Will Maupin's Weekly
handles its facts and figures about Ne
braska. It wants to make these figures
concerning Nebraska so plain that
everybody may grasp them and un
derstand them and talk about them.
So little has been said about Ne
braska's manufacturing industries
taat comparatively few people have
any idea of the wonderful growth the
late is making along industrial lines.
We have some idea f Nebraska's
agricultural resources and of her live
Hock resources: but how many Ne
braskans know that this state Is rapid
ly coming to be a great manufactur
ing state T But it is a fact and it is
this fact that Wall Maupin's Weekly
ia this issue seeks to impress upon
the minds of the people.
There is not a state in the sister
hood that was admitted after I860
that can compare with Nebraska in
tM Magnitude of her industrial estab
lishments. There is not a state in
the Union where a dollar invested in
manufacturing enterprises yields re
turns equal to the returns secured in
Nebraska.
It is true that with three or four
notable exceptions Nebraska has no
immense manufacturing plants. Most
of her Industrial establishments are
small compared with similar estab
lishments in the east. But they are
growing in number at & splendid rate
and are increasing their output
every day. In some lines, especially
buttermaking, shoeniaking, garment
making, candymaking and flourmak
ing, Nebraska is rapidly taking the
lead. She is also forging to the front
in shoeniaking. harnessmaking, cigar
making and brewing. She already has
the third largest packing center, the
largest creamery in the world and
the second largest smelter in the
world. She is making everything
from automobiles to zewibach.
Nebraska's manufacturing indus
tries are in their infancy, yet this
good year of 1911 will see her factor
ies turning out finished products that
will sell in the world's markets for
upwards of 275.000,000. Every day
sees her army of wage earners grow
ing larger; every day sees more fac
tory wheels turning; every day sees
more Nebraska made goods put upon
the market.
If this "Nebraska Industries" num
ber of Will Maupin's Weekly serves
the good purpose of interesting any
considerable number of Nebraskans
in the work of boosting for Nebraska
made goods, then it will have suc
ceeded in its chief mission. We oS
Nebraska should stand by our Ne
braska industries. They are owned
and operated by our neighbors and
friends. They are manned by our
neighbors and friends; they consume
the raw products of our farms. They
bring millions to the state and keep
millions at home. Our duty is to
stand by them and boost for them.
The goods made in Nebraska are
the goods Nebraskans should buy!
If all the shoes worn by Nebraska
were made in Nebraska, it would
mean the employment of 5,000 more
people, adding $2,500,000 to the an
nual volume of wages, adding not
less than 20.000 to the population and
increasing the manufacturing volume
upwards of $5,000,000.
Nebraska eandymakers put forth a
product equal to any in the world
and far better than most of it. If all
the candy consumed by Nebraskans
were made in Nebraska it would add
not less than $2,000,000 to the volume
of business and put not less than 2,500
Nebraskans to work at remunerative
wages.
There are about twenty overall and
shirt factories in Nebraska, employ
ing about S00 people and turning out
goods to the value of about 1,700,000.
They make the best overalls and work
shirts in the world; also the Hand
somest and best- dress shirts But if
Nebraskans all would insist upon buy
ing only Nebraska made overalls and
shirts there would be at least 3,000
garment workers employed, and the
factories would be selling goods to
the amount of $5,000,000 a year.
Every Nebraskan should read First
Timothy 5:8.
The horsepower going to waste in
a score of Nebraska streams will in
time be harnessed to the wheels of
Nebraska industries.
"Well, if we donl buy of others
they won't buy of ns," says one. Oh,
yes they will! Nebraska is one of
five states producing more agricul
tural and live stock wealth tnan they
consume. These five states are looked
to by the rest of the Union, and by
a good portion of the civilized world,
to produce their foodstuffs. They've
simply got to buy of Nebraska.
"Nebraska made goods for Ne
braskans! "That's a pretty good
waehword, isn't it?
Iowa was the first state to register
a state industries trade mark. Ne
braska should have been the first,
but under the circumstances she ought
to hurry to be the second.
The hides skinned from Nebraska
beeves ought to be tanned into leather
in Nebraskata tanneries, then manu
factured into shoes and harness in
Nebraska factories.
A Christmas gift mad ; in Nebraska
and bought by Nebraskans ought to
make a satisfactory present to any
Nebraskan.
Nebraska may not furnish a presi
dential candidate next year, but Ne
braska is turning out presidential tim
ber every day.
Maybe yon think Nebraska isn't
much of a manufacturing state be
cause the skies are not darkened by
factory smoke. Tut-tut- We are
turning our wheels with electricity
these days.
Nebraska needs interurban electric
lines. She will not get them until
she has emended some of her laws.
There is so much pleasure in be
ing an all-the-time booster for Ne
braska that we often wonder why
there are not more engaged therein.
Nebraska is making the finest cereal
products in the world. Why not grace
your breakfast table with Nebraska
made breakfast food instead of ship
ping it in from Massaere River?
Bisenits made from Nebraska our,
"riz" with Nebraska made baking'
powder, seasoned with Nebraska made
salt, mixed with Nebraska rendered
lard, baked in a Nebraska made range
and spread with Nebraska made but
ter. Oh, yum, yam!
Carloads of Nebraska tomatoes, en
cumbers, onions, etc., are shipped out
every year, manufactured into pickles,
sauces, etc, and then shipped back.
Aren't we rather wasteful in our
methods?
Nebraska's "dinner backet bri
gade" is growing larger week by
week. And it is made up of the
best paid, best housed, most contested
workers in the world.
Nearly every grocery store in Ne
braska sells tomatoes and corn packed
in Iowa, Missouri and Illinois, and
many of them handle tomatoes and
eorn packed in Baltimore. Tet Ne
braska can and does raise the finest
tomatoes and sweet eorn m the world
Mark the prediction: Inside of the
next twenty-five years there wul be
250,000 wage earners at work in Ne
braska manufacturing institutions.
Nebraska is making fewer paupers
and more home owners; fewer tramps
and more workers, than any other
state in the union, age and population
considered. .
Stand np for Nebraska!
It is so easy to say good things
about Nebraska that it is a marrel
that any Nebraskan can keep from it.
