Men Who Are Making Omaha
__t
P. F. 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.

The Pierce-Arrow Runabout
Those who have seen the Pierce-Arrow
Runabout know the thrill of its beanty. But
only those who have laid hands on its wheel
know the thrill of its performance.
Herd, the superb power of the famous Dual
Valve engine seems at its best, for the sweep
of acceleration from a snail’s pace to airplane
speed is effortless. The speedometer fairly
whirls.
• The tilt of the wheel, the rakish top, the
deep, broad cushions, the smart body appoint
ments, the gVstning nickel—these are details
on which the glance lingers. The rear deck
conceals a rumble seat for two, and generous
locker space for golf clubs or luggage.
No model offers greater opportunity for
striking color treatment, which is optional
with the customer.
In our showrooms you can learn more
about this unusual car. Our demonstrator
will call for you upon request.

The following editorial just as it appeared on the editorial
page of The Bee, Tuesday, March 4th:
If you will sro to Gayety any Saturday
you will see, if you look, a short, heavyaet
man seated away back, busy with aote
book and pencil. After the matinee thia
man will wander backstage and hold con
verse with the manager and principals
of the show. He ia Old Man Johnson, and
he will, if necessary, tell the ahow folk
just what gags they have to eliminate,
or just what particular piece of "Vusi
ne*s" has to be doctored a bit. Every
now and then some principal puts up a
howl about his best laughs being cut,
but Old Man Johnson merely replies that
he is more interested in securing the in
creasing favor of women patrons than
he is in allowing some comedian to get
a laugh at a coarse joke.
BUT OLD MAN JOHNSON DIDN’T FUNCTION AS AN
ELIMINATOR OR SHOCK ABSORBER AS REGARDS
