A committco of tbo Real Estate exchange
and Boveral representatives of tbo com
mercial interests are at work upon some
statistics that they tiopo to use with offset
in securing the location of several wholcsalo
houses in Omaha The gentlemen have
secured some facts that will probably sur
prise that great army of men who are
always croaking about business being over
done Omaha is supposed to bo
pretty well represented hero in
the agricultural implement line ,
yet the fact is that the Omaha houses do but
25 per cent of the business in their line in the
territory directly tributary to Omaha The
grocery business is the best represented , nnd
yet the Otnuha houses do but onc-hnlt the
business in Omaha's rightful territory , Thu
boot and shoo bouses get about forty per cent
ot the business that ought to come to Omaha ,
while the dry goods houses have loss than
twenty per cent ot tuo trade in their line
that should come hero This state of uffulrs
is not chargeable to the wholesale mon ot
Omaha They are all rushers in their line
and most of them have oil ot the business
that they can properly handle The trouble
Is that there are Hot houses enough hero to
supply the trade in tbo territory that should
be ulmost monopolized by the Omaha Job
bers , These facts will bo presented along
with inducements to certain eastern ilrnis
who are contemplating western branches ,
nnd an Increase of the city's ' circle ot Jobbers
is confidently expected
