^W'.ions Club and Other Large
* Meetings Help to Make
Omaha Known to
World.
Omaha, through tha entertaining ot
44,000 persona at the 172 conven
tions held here during the last year,
surely can say It is one of the im
portant convention citiee of the
country.
The delegates and visitors to Omaha
during the last year brought approxi
mately 11,500,000 in cash to the city,
merchants here say.
The largest convention during the
year was the International Lions
club. The convention brought a reg
istered list of 1,816.
Following this convention Omaha
really woke up to the fact that the
city could Jiandle much larger con
ventions.
At this time plans were started to
secure the annual convention of the
American Legion, which is to be held
in Omaha in October. Between 40,
00(1 and 50.000 visitors and delegates
are expected.
Meetings Increase.
Other national conventions In
Omaha, during the year were the
American National Livestock associa
tion, the Farmers Equity league.
American Medical college, American
Railway Car Service, International
Crder of Twelve, National Sign Paint
ers association, Farm Mortgage Bank
ers of America, National Grain Deal
,«k jfrs’ association, National Millers
Hip ederation and the Phi Beta Pi
•HE’N ternity.
' The bureau of publicity of the
Chamber of Cqmmerce maintains a
convention staff that works every
day of the year to bring conventions
to the city. Two of the biggest jobs
of the bureau are the seeking of con
ventions and the handling of them.
The bureau was organized about a
decade ago. At that time Omaha en
tertained but 30 conventions.

held in Omaha in 1924, according to
