In pursuance of the plan of Informing the
pee pi o as to thn Importance of fuotorle * nnd
M to wlmt clim of Koods they nro making In
Omaha , I unllnd upon the soup factories nnd
carriage fnctot'ios during the pint woek.
Thcro nro two soap factories In the city
the \V. A. PJRO Soup company , located nt
Finland Hickory streets , wnoro they have
0.1 flno a plum ns can bo found In the west ,
and the P. .1. Quoaloy Soup company , whlcn
was established by Mr. Qucaloy In 1808.
The o two factories oninloy thirty-throo
pcoplowllh a piy roll of $ J3,0W ( a yoar.
Careful Inquiry ns to the furalllo ) of the om-
plcyos showed tluit thn factories are directly
supporting mnty-llvo pooplo. The nvorajii
was brouxht down by the number of boys
and young men employed who nro not
credited with supporting any ono but
themselves , though the ninjorlty of thorn do
contribute ! moro or less to the support of
families.
Hoth factories buy all their supplies In
Onm tin that can bo obtained horo. The tal
low comes mostly from bouth Umaha packIng -
Ing houses , the boxo-i are mmlo bv the
Omaha > ox factories , nnd tno wrappers arc
printed bv Omaha Job olllcos. They pay all
the wav from $200 to ? IOO per mouth for
printing alono.
The moihod of making soap Is apparently
very simple , and yet it requlnu a great uial
of rare and u thorough Icnowlodifo of the
business. The tallow , clean and white , Is
placed with other Ingredients In largo ket
tles , those In the \V. A. Page factory hold
4UX ( ( ) puunil-t each. The operation of boiling
requires auout turea days. H Is then drawn
out Into a mixer , where by the aid of a re
volving wheel , fashioned .something llko the
screw pronollor on a stc.itnboat , it is thor
oughly mixed , and at the same tlmo any
dotircd ingredient , such as perfume , is
added.
From the mlxnr It is run out Into what are
called frames , but what might bo described
as ooxos on wheels. The frames are 'about
four foot long , three and a half high , and
tifteon Inches wide.
After being thoroughly cooled the soap is
cut into slabs the tlncUnoss of a bar and laid
onto the table of a machine which pushes it
against wires placed the right distance apart
to cut It Into strips the width of a bar. Those
ntrips urn In turn placed into a similar ma
chine that cuts them In the right length and
the bur of soap Is completed. The better
gritdos all go through the atamnmg machines
arid are then wrapped nnd placed in boxes
Whllo the process Is briefly described , It
rcoulrcs about two wuoks to complete , as the
scan has to bo plioed on racks and uurod sev
eral days and then gonsldoruolo tlmo is lost
in cooling.
The Omaha soap factories make all kinds
of soap , from the cheapest to the best laun
dry soap and all kinds of toilet soap. At the
W. A. Page factory I saw ten different kinds
of toilet soap , the best being equal to
anything made in the United States. The
best laundry soap is also equal to the best
makes of other soap factories , and why should
It not bo } The Omaha factories have exactly
tbo same kind of machinery as the factories
In other cities nnd the materials are Identical.
I have board ladies say that they could notr
use any sean but some certain well advortlsod
brands made In eastern cities nnd yet a
chemical unnlysls of an Omaha soap of the
lame price would show tue two soaps to bo
practically the same.
A well known business man recently de
cided to introduce the principles of homo
patronngo Into his household , out his wife
drew the line on soap. She must have 's
best laundry made in the east , but she finally
consented to give the Omaha made article a
trial. The verdict was uneqnlvlcal , "I can't
got along with the Omaha soap. " The
gentleman was not qulto satisfied and bcggod
that ono moro trial might be mmlo. This
tlmo ho bought an equal number of bars of
tbo Omaha soap and the lady's favorite
brand and nftor changing the wrappers had
thorn sent homo. Again the vordlot was
against the Oipalui article , but when the lady
learned of the trick and that she had roilly
pronounced against her favorite , nnd had
ihown herself unable to distinguish between
the two makes except by the wrappers she
eave In gracefully.
There can bo no posslblo excuse for using
foreign made so'ins on the ground of quality
nd when it comes to price the Omaha fac
tories ore mooting competition in that respect
lso.
lso.Omaha
Omaha housekeepers could if they only
, thought .10 use Omaha made soaps exclusive-
'ly without any disadvantage to thomsolvos.
At tbo present time the Omaha factories
are not making half of the soap
used In this city. If the people of
the city would patronize this
branch of homo Industry ns they should there
would bo room for four faotories hero or the
two now here could moro than double their
capacity nnd limdad of supporting aireetly
nlnety-llvo people there would bo 200 people
drawing a living from thorn. Besides that
the Increasing of the soup factories would ro-
qulro nn increase In ether plants. They
would rcnulro twice as many boxes nnd the
box factories would have to put on extra
men ; they would roqulro-moro printing and
some Job ofllco would rcquiro nn extra man
or two nntl so through the whole list of the
manufactories which would bo required.
So far as 1 have Investigated local man
ufacturing interest * I have found nothing for
which tlioro Is so llttlo excuse ns the failure
of the people of Omaha to glvo nil their pat-
ronncto to their homo soap factories. Whllo
there ure many consumers who are preju
diced In favor of some foreign raado brand
. there are thousands of nousolceapora who have
no profonnco nnd who morolv order
their grocer to send thorn up n certain num
ber of barn without specifying the brand.
In cases llko this the grocer who will soud
anything but the homo made nrticlo Is acting
the part of a traitor to the hoit Interests of
his city. It may bo added stilt further that
the majority of the pcoplo who are wedded
to some eastern made brand would never
have hoard of that particular make had It
not boon for their grooor who oduoatod them
into boliovliifr thai It was tbo best.
Unfortunately there Is no wav of getting
hold of such grocers excepting by some such
moans ns a manufacturers' association.
cAuuuan FACToitms.
Omaha is located a long way from the
forest * where nnnt wood timber Is grown
and from the Hteel a-id Iron mills but thorough
rough material which outers into the manu
facture of wucous and carriages Is easily
transported and then too the ma
terial entering into wagon mak
ing Is small in comparison
to the labor item. Wugoti building Is largely
A matter of skilled labor and that can bo had
In Omaha in any amount wanted.
Omaha has several factories that nro turn-
lug out work that can compare with the best
nuiko of any ether city , but thov ure not re
ceiving a fraction of the support which
Omaha might give them , rioino of ttio
oldest and wealthiest families In the olty
use nothing but homo made carriages but
there nro too munv who take a run east when
they want something In that lino. If they
wont to the Omaha repositories which sou
eastern nmdo goods , no ono would complain
ns those repositories nro nil doing something
for tbo city , but they oven neglect thorn. Of
rourso they buy the snmo muUo.s east as the
dealers here aim nnd thov usually pay moro
for them.

bo u hurpriso to most people
to lak o a walk through anyone of the three
Inrgoat of these factories and notlco the class

RUpplied with ovcry appliance known and
they employ tbo best workmen to be ob

local lm luoii men , uud tnoro were heavy
dray wasons hnlng made for the loonl manu
facturing and Jobbing houses.
The business Is apparently In a protoorous
condition , nnd the manufacturer * are able to
moot nil competition. The only trouble U
tnat the business U kept down by the apathy
of the Omaha pcoplo , who do not taka Inter
031 enough In local Institutions to clvo them
their patronngo. A manufacturer told mo
that on a recent Sunday nftcrnoon , out of < * > . *
carriages which ho counted In Hanscompark
only ono was of Omaha mnko
Is It any wonder that Omahi has not bceomo
n great manufacturing point , that mon nro
ftomotlmoi out of employment hero and th.it

As many of these turnouts were double
carriages costing all the way from > 0d to
$1,000. It would be putting It very low to say
that they cost on an nvorago f JO ! ) each. Then
wo have tlli.SOO that had boon sent east for

What an array that was to pass before nn
Omaha carriage maker' * oyoa. and what i
courageous man that manufacturer that
ho dltl not go nn burn his factory for tno Insurance
suranco money nnd leave the town.
A few weeks ago 1 visited nn eastern town
of about ' 1,00,1 , people that Is supported by
ono carriage factory. I Inquired of ono o
the managers where the patronage came
from to support such n mammoth concern ns
tlioro worn no Inrgo cltloi near nt hand.
' 'O,1 said the manufacturer , "tho west buys
the bulk of ourgoadsandyou will find plenty
our make In your own stato. " Yes there nro
plenty of his make In Omiha nnd they glvo
ovldonco of the disinterestedness of the people
plo of Om.iha who are witling to contribute
to the building up of flourishing towns nil
over New Yoric nnd Now l nglnnd Instead ol
building up their own city. I remember a
former prominent politician ii'itl olllco holder
in Omaha who bought n carnage front that
very factory and ho was so afraid that a dollar
or two of hi * money might remain in Omaha ,
tlint ho did not try to obtain it through n
local dealer but sent direct to the
factory. Ho was defeated at the
next election because voters could not bo Im
ported from the o.ut as readily as carriages
and ho Is uow trying his fortunes in another
city.

George \V. Ijiinugor. The manufacturers
must organl/.o and the plan outlined in Tin ;
Itr.i : contained a good many useful sugges
tions. All this talk on the subject , while it
may do some good , will not remedy the ovli ,
the manufacturers themselves must takoit in
hand and push it. Some ono ought to call a
meeting of manufacturers at onco.
I have been tnlkh'.g with Mr. Uoggs , presi
dent of Iho Heal Estate Owners' Association ,
nnd he tenders the use of their room to the
maiiutacturers , nnd will do anything that ho
can to co-operate with them in what he
realizes to bo a most Important movement.
Ono of the lint things is to glvo us u list of
the goods made In Omaha. I asked my folks
the ether day to adopt the homo patronage
rule In ordering supplies for the house , and
was mot Immediately with the question ,
'What kind of good * nro made In Unrihn and
where can we got thoml' A brief list of the
staples that could bo pasted along sldo of the
telephone would bo a most useful thing until
the manufacturers could compile a complete
list in pamphlet form. The suggestion In
THIS 11 KB to enlist the Indies in tbo work was
n very good ono , nnd they can dn much
toward helping Omaha. It may become
necessary before wo got through with this
to make a house to house- can
vass to Induce housekeepers to
use Omaha goods. Wo aYe experiencing dull
times in Omaha becau'io puollo works have
been stopped and ihoro are a good many idle
mon here that will leave the city unless tho. }
got work and the only kind of work that can
bo idvon them is In factories. What a eroat
thing It would bo If every housekeeper In
Omaha would commence at once U > use
Omaha made goods. Talto the ono article of
Hour for example. There Is ono flouring mill
lu Omaha that turns out n first class article
and if every family would commence calling
for that Hour in ton days wo would have
their surplus exhausted and they would no
employing every man that they had room for
and bo unable to fill orders then. In a very
llttlo time wo would see them enlarging their
Flnnt or ether parties putting up mills ,
bollevo in extending this matter
of homo patronage to the whole state nnd In
keeping all our money in Nebraska.
A. J. Sltnnson , oarrlngo manufacturer. I
lioar people saying almost every day , "wo
must have morn factories In Omaha to give
employment to laborine men and to keen
money in circulation. " I tell them that there
Is no use in paying out money to got factories
to como here and then starve them to death.
The city Is full of factories now that are not
running near full capacity wnilo the people
are sending their money east to buy the
same goods that might bo made here and
then mourning because wo do not hnvo more
factories to make things lively. If tbo pco
plo of Omaha will stand by the factories that
are already here they will soon
double their capacity nnd ether fac
tories will como without any
invitation. The local carrlago manufactur
ers hnvo all reduced the number of men em
ployed but If the people would buy ono half
of the carriages used In Omaha of homemakers
makers they would all bo doubling their
forces.
H. P. Hodgln , secretary of the Nebraska
State Business Men's association i'ui : BKB
Is doing u great work for the city. My asso
ciation bcliavos in the principles of homo
patronage and you will find that members
throughout tno state nro buyine the most of
tlnilr goods inside the state so far as possible.
There are n largo number of canning factor
ies located at different points In the stato. If
ovcry NobrasKon would luslst on having
only tlie Nebraska brands there would bo n
rapid Increase lu the cnvucity of the fac
tories. You touched upon cigars in n re
cent nrticlo in THIS BIB : , if every
smoker in Omaha who smokes domestic
cigars would buy those of homo make , I es
timate that wo could furnish employment to
500 clgarmnkora insteiul of only 100. I am
smoking homo mnda cigars that'I will put up
against iiny eastern make for the snmo
money , nnd let any good unprejudiced ] udio
decide ns to the quality. Then too , I think it
a big advantage to smoke Omaha cigars ,
because I see how and where they are made ,
and do not take any chances of gottlng some
thing from n tenonant house full of tilth and
disease. Then there Is another point. How
many of the b ink checks used by the Omaha
banks are printed In this cityand yet Omaha
concerns can do ns uood lithographing ns any
of tno banks use. If the banks would got
all their work done here where they make
their nionoy , It would bo a big Item.
Another thing that does not look right to mo
is to see big signs posted up on the now
buildings announcing that the furnishings
uro being made by some eastern ( inn. This
matter of Home patronngo Is nn almost inex-
tfuusilblo subject and ono tint can bo written -
ton nnd talked about for weeks. Tno more
the question Is ngltatod the moro benefit
Omaha will rocolvo.
Mr. Drummond of W.Il. Drummond & Co. ,
carriage makers I have Just returned from
Montana and read the articles lu Tim DKE on
homo patronage white out < n tbo country. I
was especially Interested , as I looked upon It
as n step In the right direction. With the
best climatoin the world for uarrlncc-maklng
and with as good material ns oin bo obtained
and the bast skilled labor , the Omaha manu
facturers nro prepared to compete with any
of the eastern wagon-makon both In quality
nnd prico. lyitolv wo have boon making the
police patrol nnd hose wngons for the cltv
and hnvo tilled nn order of the same kind
for Hutto , Mont. If Omaha can put out work
that will stand the rough usngo ol the tire du-

anything In the way of carrlago and wagon

A woman with n short , lat neck may wonr ,
becomingly , the black velvet band. Lot the
thin , long noukod woman leave It alouo.
The shirt of the near future will have buttons -
tons down thoontiro front except when they
nro lost , which will ba nearly all ttio tlmo.
The cone lint Is black straw , also a cone
crowned boat hat. jnd n bat with low , broad ,
square crown nn ! ) n brim having a half Inch
roll are bolnc trimmed for autumn wear.
Black silk brooho is nmong the favored ma
terials of the hour. Prettiest nmong dresses
of the Kind worn at u holed summer rcior t is
a rich Lyons silk , covered wltb small salin
spots.
A separate coat and vest does not permit
Iho usual blouse or skirt to bo worn ; but
small sleeveless vesta with the front simulat
ing a blouse are useful nud do away with Iho
necessity of n Jackotas well.
Skirts with piped gores nro scon In num
bers. Many have n gored seam dlroctly up
tbo front. All fulness al the waist is dis
pensed with , and the very lltllo necessitated
at the extreme back Is added.
Now imitation paper , or , nt least that much
used in fashionable circles , is parchment

The coming of autumn already warns the
prudent house-mother thnt she should pro
vide wnrmor underwear nnd hosiery for her
charges. Dellcato children nnd invalids all
persons whoso circulation is weak will do
well lo put ou woollen hosiery as soon as the
fall opens.
Lace upon pretty evening dresses is ar
ranged on the skirt with two flounces , ribbon
being employed , tdHhread in and out. should
the pattern admit * Otherwise the ribbon Is
run on flnt jusfabovo tbo llounco forming n
heading. Watered ribbon two-inches wide is
most used in this direction.
The September flower is the golden rod ;
the September fruit the applo. The Septem
ber colors are cflirison and gold emblematic
of the changes made in tbo hue of Iho month's
foliage by the rtrst frosts. The September
stone is the chrysolite , which , If worn during
the monlh , oirerts sadness from ttio mind ,
according to Iho Icro.ot the lapidaries.
A tailor mndoi gown of nn early aulumn
model has Ibo basyub slashed. Tbo material
Is woolen and the skirt is plain , with length
enough behind to drag more's the pitv. The
trailing of our dresses isn't bad Indoors or on
the lawns and vornndas nt the summer re
sorts , but for sidewalks it is deplorable. So
skirts are bound to bo refashioned soon.
For later autumn wear than the full dresses
thus far described .is the tweed gown shown
in the last illustration. It is of n light brown ,
with gold cralon front nnd military oupo
tossed back from Iho shoulder and tied with
beaver colored ribbons. Tno stripes of vel
vet that form the striking trimming on Ibo
skirt are of beaver colored velvet also. The
nat is trlmmod with ostrich foathcrs.
A very pretty and stylish way of making n
light , tan cloth costume is with a bodice bold
by straps over tbo sbouldor. The straps nnd
flnos are lined with colored sllknnd Iho skirt
is made perfectly olain. A Ho of the colored
silk is worn wllh a pink or blue shirt , nnd
there is a jacket belonging to the suit which
mav bo worn or not as desired. A tan-colorod
parasol lined with pink silk and a brown hat
trimmed with Ian ribbons and gauze nnd a
bunch ot plnkrosos , complete Iho stylish cos
tumo.
Hero Is an Idea for Ihoso who nro nrlistic

designs for embroidery , taking thorn directly
from nnturo. This is how you can do it.
Flowers nro preserved by dipping thorn In

When the paper dries it again is opaque and

A decidedly pretty dross seen at Saratoga
