HE business and professional men of Omaha,
Nebraska' Great Marketing Center, join with
the entire state in making'the State Fair the great
success it deserves to be.
People from all parts of Nebraska will meet at Lincoln
during this great pageant. The farmer will rub elbows
with the merchant, the dairyman with the broker.
New acquaintances will be made, varying opinions will
be discussed, new and broader views will be taken of
the many influences that concern the community as a
whole. Widely divergent ideas will be harmonized,
and the many elements that go into the make-up of this
great empire of grain will be welded into a smooth
running unit a well-oiled cog in the wheel of progress.
Omaha is going to Lincoln on Omaha Day to meet the
men from the great agricultural region Omaha was
built to serve. , Omaha will seek their opinions, will
strive to study their needs and will return home to put
into practice, so far as'pc-ssible, the things the people
of Nebraska feel will benefit them.
Omaha must and will clo this because the future of
the "Gate City" can be great only insofar as it serves
Nebraska well.
