Brophy of Omaha was the principal speaker. Mr. Brophy, now one of the officials at the head quarters of the Union Pacific, lived In this city for 20 years prior to 1907, first running as brakeman on the freight and later as cqnductor on the passenger.

Petersen made bread, and lev doing so helped make Omaha. When he reached here from Denmark, in 1882, he had a hard line getting etn ployment as a baker, for in those old days the housewives of the city made their own bread. His first job was at $2.50 per week, with board and room. But even that did not last, and he had to look elsewhere for a totvn that appreciated a healthy, husky all-around baker. He found one, and in time saved up $700 and returned to Omaha. Mr. Petersen smiles now as he re calls how many times that $700 v-as down to the vanishing point before things took the right turr for him. He finally weathered the hard times of the '90s, by diligent application to his creed of good bretd. People to ban to buy more freely from the bake shop, and the i eteisen sort of bread made friends w herever It got on the table. In one w?ek in 1920 die Petersen-Pegau company turned out 360,000 pounds of bread, that is at the rate of 60,000 pounds a day. In that year the firm produced 15,546 tfliO 10-cent "units.” As much as 90,000 pounds of bread has been produced in one day at the plant. The great PetersenIVgau baltery !s one of the show spats of the city, a monument to tho Industry and f>re e.ght of the heed of the firm, who literally worked himself up from the bottom to the position of maslec baker, with the real emphasis on master. Contributions of this great in stitution to the city’s list of enter prises ought to be enough to entitle Mr. Petersen to all the c.edit he has had. He is not content w th that. A member of the ChamlK.r of Com merce, and of the Manufacturers as sociation, he is steadily employed In aiding in other ways to set the city a little farther ahead along the road to prosperity. Good bread is his religion, satisfied customers his Ideal, and along with this goes the h gh regard of more than 100 employes who are well pleased to have him for a boss.
