Large Growth
in Industries
More Than $216,000,000 Paid
for Livestock at Market
Here in Last Year—Tire
Industry Grows.
By .1. M. GILLAN,
Manager of the Chamber of Commerce
Industrial Bureau.
The growth of Omaha during the
next 20 years will depend very large
ly upon the development and expan
sion of our industrial establishments.
There are certain lines of manufac
turing in which the products can be
distributed in practically every direc
tion from the points where they are
produced, and are therefore not con
fined to a restricted sales territory.
In this respect manufacturing estab
lishments frequently have an advant
age which wholesalers and jobbers do
not enjoy.
There Is a very Intimate connec
tion between that greatest of all In
dustries—agriculture—and manufao
turing. In fact, the relationship is
much closer than the average indi
vidual perceives at first glance.
The total factory output of food
products, including cereals, meats,
preserved fruits and all sorts of foods
that come originally from the fields,
gardens and pastures of the land
amounts to practically four times as
much as any other single line of
manufacturing. Meat products alone
stand out us the greatest single
manufactured product in the United
States, and these meat foods are dis
tributed practically to every civilized
country on the face of the globe.
Meats are a part of the raw material
taken from the farm, field and pas
ture.
Lack of Balance.
Omuha, situated as it is, In the
very center of the greatest cereal and
livestock producing region of this
country, possesses the two funda
mental requisites for building and ex
panding food producing factories.
Manufacturing and agriculture, going
hand in hand, are the most potent
factors for success and prosperity in
nil the fields of human endeavor. Peo
ple must have food In order to work,
and the great majority of men must
have work In order to procure food.
1 here la at the present time, it is
true, a very discouraging lack of bal
ance in values between the products
.of the farm and the prices paid by the
farmer for labor and the things ne
must buy, but these inequalities will
he brought to an equitable balance
und agriculture and manufacturing
will then each play its part and each
will be rewarded by fair profits.
Notwithstanding the unfavorable
business condit.ons of the past year,
ornaha has made Industrial progress.
Our manufacturers have been obliged
to watch very carefully evqfy indi
cation of changing markets, and of
changing conditions in their sales
territory. They have been obliged to
make a careful study of the pur
chasing power throughout the cen
tral wt'st. It has been a time of
slow progress for some, but taken as*
a whole, manufacturers of Omaha
have not found the road any more
difficult than wholesalers and job
liers.
1,000,000 Transactions.
The leading Industrial plants nf
iniaha—the packing houses—have
been, as usual, the Gibraltar under
■ these trying circumstances, and in
conjunction with the Livestock ex
change and the Union Stockyards
ompany, these big food mnnufactur
ng plants of South Omaha have kept
in army of employes busy at good
wages and have turned back to the
sto<k raisers of this central western
region many millions of dollars in :
cash, month after month. More than
M.000,000 per week, the year around, is
paid for livestock at South Omaha. !
Last year the stock raisers who ship- ;
tied their stock to South Omaha re
«elved 1210,000.000 for the livestock
brought to that market. There was
no waiting for this money. More
than 1,000,000 transactions took place
in the Union stockyards of South
Omaha, and all but five of these
transactions were closed without
question or delay.
The total weekly payroll of the
packing houses of South Omaha, the
Livestock exchange and the Union
Stockyards company. Is $350,000. or
about $18,000,000, annually. This is
the giant Industry of Omaha and the
connecting link between manufactur
ing and the farm.
Many other Industries also are mov
ing along satisfactorily. Our big but
ter manufacturing plants and large
creameries, 'also engaged In manu
factured food products, our flour
mills, macaroni factories ami alfalfa
mills have met some difficulties and
some discouragements, but have
stemmed the tide and are moving
forward with perfect confidence and
assurance.
Tire Industry Grows.
Rome of the comparatively new In
cjustr.es of Omaha—our rubber tire
factories—have enjoyed a year of
great activity. With careful manage
ment there seems to lie no reason
why these big factories should not
continue to prosper and distribute
their products far and wide. These
Three tire factories have done a great
deal to advertise Omaha during the
last two years in shipping tires to the
■ Pacific coast, to the southern states,
and large quantities to Chicago and
tit. Louis. .
» Omaha also has become known as
an introducer of high grade auto bus
boilies and truck bodies. There are
vvcml establishments engaged In
building automobile, auto bus nnd
truck bodies nnd distributing their
products over many states. One fac
tory han sold more than fib bus bod
ies In Chicago, nnd a great many
throughout Indiana, Illinois nnd sev
eral other states. Tills factory sold
25 of these bus bodies to the Chicago
board of education for use in hauling
•rippled children to public schools.
Omaha also is widely known for the
production of refrigerating machin
ery, women's ready-to-wear garments,
road building and maintaining ma
chinery, home furniture, office and
bank fixtures, and many other lines.
22,00(1 Wage Workers.
There are other lines of Industry
that could nnd should be mentioned,
in which Omaha Is forging to the
front a* a manufacturing renter.

162 Conventions
Held in Omaha
in 12 Months
More Than 40.000 Pergons
Attend Gatherings Here—
C. of C. Entertains Many
Groups.
By JACK LEE.
Onmha Chamber of Commerce.
Omaha's population was increased
more than a third hy the number of
convention guests the city entertain-;
ed during the last year. More than
40,000 persons from all parts of the
state and middle west came to Omaha
to attend the 162 conventions that
were held here. Except for a few
very big conventions, such as the
state teachers, State Bar association.
Luther league and various organi7.a-|
lions of the Farmers' union and the
Fall ami Spring Merchants’ Market
weeks, the flow of guests was steady
throughout the year and caused no
undue confusion.
When the bureau of publicity of(
the Omaha Chamber of Commerce'
commenced It* convention work on
an Intensive scale 12 years ago. Oma
ha was entertaining about *0 conven
tions annually. The number grew
gradually until the last year, the ban
ner convention year In the hlatory of
Omaha, saw 162 conventions.
Made to Feel at Homo.
When convention guests com# to
Omaha they are made to feel at home.
Kverythlng Is done to make the stay
ip Omaha a plenaant one. Oueste are
registered by secretaries supplied by
the bureau of publicity, badges are
furnished and meeting places are
provided free of charge. In addition,
personal letters are written to pros
pectlve guests by the bureau manager
urging them to attend the convention.
In the year just passed, 20,000 such
personal letters were written.
The bureau also furnished a special
reporter who handles all publicity
pertaining to the convention and aids
(he dally papers in covering the
events transpiring. Special railroad
rates in most Instances were obtained
by the bureau with the cooperation
of the chamber's trafllc bureau.
The following egeerpt Is taken
from an article which appeared In the
Nebraska Manufacturers' Bulletin
published at Lincoln which points out
more clparly Just what the hurenu

Chamber of Commerce Journal.
"This publicity was Indeed much

the attendance at our annual meet

Much of the good work of the du
reau In arranging and caring for con

various associations, the bureau has
many opportunities to Iron out dif
Acuities and is constantly visited hy
representatives and committees who
are desirous of getting on more
friendly footing with Omaha and its
organizations. AH these matters are
handled confldentally and this work,
in spite of its Importance, must nee

Acts a* Host.
Every available room for conven
tion guests, every convention hall
and meeting place In Omaha la on
the bureau's record# and up to the
present year < >mnha has not had a
convention that was not cared for tn
an orderly and efficient manner.
Ift addition to the handling of con
ventions, the bureau sided In enter
taining the following delegations pass

The bureau also has furnished en
tertainment features for the Nebraska
State Teacheis' association conven

contrary to the thought of disaster
usually associated with the word, was
a fortunate stabilizer, giving assur

A few week* ago we heard much of

F. W. Thomas Says Outlook Is
for Good Production and
Satisfactory.
Market.
By F. W. THOMAS,
Vice President of the First National
Rank of Omaha.
The general situation In Nebraska
has continued to show a gradual and
substantial Improvement during the
past three years. T.et us first refer
to the direct causes of our former
Ill-favored position from which we are
now emerging.
In 1819 the value of farm product*
In this country aggregated $23,500,
000,000, while in 1922 the value
of American farm products was $14,
333,000,000. This represent* a decrease
In the purchasing power of the Amer
ican farmer of nine billions in threa
short years. Thlp, in Itself, Is enough
to bring on a stringency in all lines
of endeavor throughout the United
States.
The more direct causes of our un
fortunate position may be attributed
to bad investments In which th# peo
ple of this state lost over $100,000,000,
largely In buying stock In corpora
tions which had a more or less fraud
ulent Inception.
Unwarranted land speculation was
another cause, particularly from the
purchase of lands on contract or an
equity which was preceded by an ab
normally large mortgage. It is also
felt that increased transportation
rates, which have probably been
Justified by the carrier*, and also
cost of marketing, have added to the
burden of the producer Thl* feeling
has become so strong among farm or
ganizations that they are endeavoring
to take some step# toward perfect
ing an efficient system of co-operative
marketing, the outcome of which la
still problematical.
Provide* Financing wystem.
The Agricultural Credit Act of 1923,
enacted by the last congress, provide*
a somewhat restrictive system of
financing agricultural commodities
for co-operative associations of pro
ducers. No legislative act can rectify
a situation unless It Is In accordance
with economic laws but financial re
lief, through legislation, can be suc
cessfully afforded as a temporary
measure, until such time as economic
laws have, by their slow but sure
process, righted the situation.
The purchasing power of agricul
tural commodities Is still Inferior to
the market on manufactured product*
which the fanner Is compelled to buy.
but the market on raw products Is
gradually being brought Into fetter
balance with the market on manu
factured products. The present out
look In this state la for approximately
a normal production.
The exceasive moisture of the past
two months has materially Improved
the crop outlook. Much of the fall
wheat has survived the winter and
Is progressing satisfactorily. In
many Instances. It wan found neces
sary to reseed wheat this spring. The
weather has been so propitious that
spring wheat 1* almost a* far ad
vanred^as fall wheat. This Improved
situation applies particularly to the
wheat section of extreme western
Nebraska
< rop Ontlook Good.
I have juat returned from a trip
In the Heottshluff valley, which ha*
been a* hard hit as any section of
the state. The crop outlook In that
locality la good, especially the outlook
for a wheat crop. They are now
blocking out the beet fields, leaving
good, hardy plants.
It is somewhat early to refer to
the situation in the com belt a* the
planting of com was Irregular due to
the wet season. Some fields show
corn about four Inches high while In
an adjoining field can he se»n com
lt'lnches hl»rh. Th» first plowing of
com Is already under way. There
Is being carried over but a nominal
amount of old com which should In
sure a better market next fall on
now corn.
llay production should be unusual
ly heavy, due to recent heavy rain
falls and likewise pastures are
unusually good at this time of the
year.
The cutting of the exceptional
growth of the first crop of alfalfa
has been delayed, due to the wet
fields, but the first cutting bids fair
to show an unusually heavy yield.
The cattle situation. from the
standpoint of the stock raiser, has
(wen only fairly satisfactory, but the
stock feeder, who has fattened rattle
for market In the com belt has for
the most part made a satisfactory
profit. Over SO per cent of our
hogs were marketed before the
recent slump took effect, so that we
have hail the tieneflt of a strong hog
market almost sines the first of the
year. It rather appears as If the
ling market would remain steady at
the present reduced figure, or per
haps show some Improvement.
Sheep Feeders lYofit.
Sheep feeders have shown ft con
sistent profit for the past two years,
which should doubtless encourage a
continuance of sheep feeding for an
other season. The large sheep feed
era In this state report a net profit
ft nm operation*, of an average of
11.40 ft head.
In summing up the present altun
tlou. the outlook Is for a substantial
volume '-f production In all lines with
fairly satisfactory outlook for steady
market.
Tin- corn situation, in which this
stale Is most vitally Interested. Is
particularly reassuring. In spite of
the fact that It is still too early to
make a iq/lnble prediction of the
volume of our com production for
this year.
While the demand for funds Is
strong, yet, there seem to be adequate
facilities for taking care of the
strictly legitimate needs of the farm
er In practically all localities.

will lie pleased to giie details on
these tig lues.
Crops in Good Shape
in Spite of Heavy Rain
Nebraska farms can absorb an Im
mense amount of rain without very
serious damage. The past month has
supplied abundant moisture, and
while the wheat, oats and corn are
about 10 days to two weeks later
than usual, a few weeks of real warm
weather will bring them on rapidly
and the prospects now are encourag
ing for a good crop of all cereals.
Tho alfalfa crop Is enormous thus
far. Farmers are having some diffi
culty, however, In getting the tirst
cutting in the stack without rain fall
ing on it. The first cutting In many
cases has produced more than a ton
and a half to the acre, and Indica
tions are that the crop of plfalfa and
upland hay will be very abundant this
year.
Garden truck and fruits of all kinds
are doing well and promise a plenti
ful yield.
Forty Programs
Given by City
Concert Club
Organization Opening Third
Season of Park Concerts—
Drive for Funds Is
Under Way.
By HARRIET BRONSON < OPPER.
City fonrrrt rlob.
The City Concert club, organized to
I promote municipal music and to
recognize Omaha musicians, is open
ing Its third season of band concerts
, In the parks, with Arthur E. Smith
hand conductor. The first free mu
nicipal concert was given May 17,
1920, in the Auditorium. Since that
time 40 concerts have been given at
the Auditorium and in the parks, all
program* by Omaha musical talent.
Omaha music house* have co-operated
generously in the free use of pianos
and printed programs, and the city
commissioners have given free use of
the Auditorium. The entire work has
been carried on by $1 membership
due* and subscriptions by Omaha citi
zens In sympathy with the movement.
The club is regularly organized with
a president, Hester Bronson Copper;
three % ice presidents. George 1" Knip
prath, Mrs. A. V. KJnsler and W. A.
Ellis; Miss Klanehe Sorenson, secre
tary; M ss Edith May Miller, treas
urer, and John W. Gamble, auditor.
Frank Mach, who helped to launch
the work In 1920, has been program
chairman. George \V Campbell, John
S. Helgren, Mrs. C. IV. Axtelt. Mr«.
Arthur F. MulJen H. K. Mansfield
and C. F. Meth aie other* who have
served on the program committee.
Funds Needed.
The club believes that Omaha, a
city boasting J4th place in popula
tion and 17th tn bank clearings,
should pro'lde municipal music for
all the people. Ten* of thousands of
parent* and children ha\e enjoyed
and profited by the great concert*
given by this club. Many strangers
have expressed their pleasure at being
able to attend these musical events
while in Omaha, the annual Thanks
giving Symphony orchestra concerts
being especially appreciated. The
Sunday afternoon band concerts have
cost an average of $205 during July
and August the last two ssummers.
The City Concert club Is now con
ducting a campaign for funds to give
a few concerts this summer. Mem
berships and checks should be eent
to the club headquarters. Hotel Fon
tenelle.
Funds for a permanent concert band
and a symphony orchestra In Omaha
are much needed, and these organiza
tions would add Immeasurably to the
social welfare of the city.
Noted Musicians Guests.
The City Concert club has made a
point to entertain eminent visiting
musicians, among them having !>een
John Philip Sousa, band conductor;
Marie Mikova, former Omaha girl,
now noted pianist; Don Alfonso Ze
laya, Central American pianist;
Frances Nash Watson, pianist,

charge of Marshall B. Craig, played
for Market week at the Auditorium
In March, 1321. Last September, con
ducted by Arthur E. Smith, with
Wallace Wheeler, band major, the
City Concert club band of 50 men led
the great AkSar-Ben parade, winning
