tering volume of business no doubt the
largest by far of any house- west of the
Missouri river. Its magnitude can be bet
ter appreciated when one reflects that It
means an average of nearly $70,000.00 per
day for every business day In the year.
There were , slaughtered during the year a
total of 783,341 hogs , 241.C2G cattle and
' 1C0.49G sheep. This Includes hogs killed
at the c'oriipany'o slaughter house in

can bo accomplished by zeal , energy and
business sagacity. When It started , less
than ten years ago , Its operations were con
fined solely to the slaughtering and packing
of hogs in the old time way.
During the decade It has spread
anil developed , until now , un

of different kinds of manufacturing enter
prises ere carried on , by means of which all
the by-products and refuse are converted at
South Omaha Into finlslud commodities , In

RBX PEPSIN GUM.
Rex Pepsin Gum , one of the outputs of this
department , 1'cs been on tha market less
than twclvo months. It met with Instant
favor , and the orders for it are surprisingly
numerous. It Is a mcst excellent article of
Ita klnJ , and Its chief claim for recognition
Is that each tablet actually contains one
grain of standard test Hex Pepsin , which Is
a sufficient quantity to aid the dlgest'lve pro
cesses. It Is well known to the trade that
a great many no-called Pepsin Gums do not
contain any genuine Pepsin , except In name ,
and they are not slow to ljuy a real Pepsin
Gum when It ran bo obtained from a flrot-
class , reliable manufacturer , whose prepara

GLUE WORKS.

glue works were erected at South Omaha ,

formerly shipped to eastern glue factories
Is now converted Into a flrst-cxss quality

shipment amounts to several million pounds , !
and Its production gives steady employment
to a number of hands.
CUDAHY SOAP WORKS.
The latest addition to this gigantic home
Institution Is The Cudahy Soap Company ,
which began operations on a largs scale
several weeks ago. The eoap factory Is
sovcn stories In height , is equipped trough-

MJIIHAUKA I'HIJSH CO.MIIH.NT.
Dodge Criterion : There seems to be a
pretty general opinion among all ca.s.scn ! of
nctvspapirs that the coming legislature
should deal liberally with the Transmls-
slbslppl Exposition and make an appro
priation for an exhibition that will do Jus
tice to our growing state , and be In some
measure conur.cnsuiatc with the great good
and competent men. It Is a certainty that
the success attained bv the Cudahy's In
other undfrtaklngs will follow this new de
parture and soon develop 'it Into one of tha
most prominent soap works of the west. The
wide-spread connections and superior dis
tributive facilities e'njojcil by the company
1-avo enabled It lo mal'e a very successful
start. Tlio factory has been running to its
utmost capacity from the day It opened , as
the superior quality of the soap has com
manded o full share of the trade In every
city where It has been Intro
duced. Cudahy's diamond C Soap , the
leading laundry brand , U one
of the finest pieces of goods that has ever
been placed on the market , and any one
who tries It will concede that two cakes will
do as much work and give better results
than Ihrco cakes of any other snap of like
quality. This brand , In addition to usual
shapes , Is also cut in twin bars and packed
In cartons , making a convenient and deslr-
able toilet size.
Cudahy'R White Ash Is a floating eoap.
It Is a combination bath , toilet nnd fancy
laundry soap , and Is sure to suit every ono
who wishes a specially fine article. It Is
cut and placed on the inaikct In twin bars ,
which present a handsome appearance. In
addition to these two leading brands tharo
are Cudahy's Domestic Soap , Magic City
Soap , Cudahy's diamond C Warning Com
pounds , etc. , all of uhlch have equal merit
with those above mentioned. They are
packed In convenient sized bars suitable to
the varied wants of consumers.
It la gratifying to stnto that Nebraska
merchants tmvff taken a lively Interest In
this newest enterprise o ! the Cudahy's , and
have shown a disposition to help the Indus-
benefit to our state -In pencral. It will bring
pcopto and money In'.c our state and , Indi
rectly , wo will all bo benefited. We think
the exposition should receive the hearty co
operation of all Nebraska people and we
believe It will.
Madison Chronicle : The Transmt&TlwIppI
Exposition which h to be held In Omaha
In 1S9S will bo tbo grandest advertisement
for Nebraska ever vouchsafed our people ,
and every citizen of the state should con
stitute hlm&elf a committee of cue to further
the efforts of the managers lu bringing It
to a grand and successful l ue. Over $100-
000 has already been subscribed , and the
government has pledged $200.000 more for a
government exhibit. Mr. E. Hoscwatcr , edi
tor of The Omaha Bee , has been appointed
manager of the department of publicity ,
which Is a guaranty that the details of
thoroughly advertising the exposition will be
carefully looked after.
Dawson Newsboy : The Transmlsalsslppl
Exposition , to be hold at Omaha , Neb. , In
1S9S , bids fair to be ono of th& bcsfi exhibits
of Us kind ever attempted. Alt of the tram-
mlssisslppl statca fhould , and probably will ,
participate in tl is exposition ; and as for
Nebraska nothing could be more bencflclil
to her various interests than a successful
consummation of the contemplated oxpcal-
tlon. The people of this otate , especially
imch who are financially Interested will make
no mistake it generous support Is given to-
wai\l the carrying on of this work ; and no
citizen of Nebraska who h proud of his state
will refuse or neglect to give the undertaking
at least his moral support. The prcw of the
i h
,
NEW OMAHA FEDERAL BUILDING
the state wilt derive from the exposition.
Nebraska cannot well afford to bo parul-
monlous In this matter , and wo hope to
fico her get to the front as oho ought.
North Bend Republican : The com
mittees appointed to make arrangements
for the great TraiiHinlasUslppl Exposition
are now hard at work and nothing will bo
left undone to maku the exposition a great
success. Subscription * amounting to over
$400,000 have already been secured , and
congress has pledged not leas than $200,000
more. The exposition will bo a great ad
vertisement for the whole Transmlsslsslppl
region , and especially Nebraska and all Ne-
braskana should bo ready to push It along.
Surprise Herald : The TransmlsslBslppl
Exposition to bo held at Omaha In 1898 Is
fast getting Into shape. The Omaha people
have subscribed $400,000 to Its capital stock ,
confirms has donated $200,000 and In all
probabilities our coining legislature will vote
a liberal appropriation for the exhibition ,
This exposition will certainty bo of great
state will no doubt do Its full share In keepIng -
Ing the matter before the world by giving It
the widest publicity possible. Sketches and
letters descriptive- the various features
of the expedition will appear In the columns
of this paper later on , and no doubt will
provo Interesting reading ta our patrons.
Hlldrcth Telescope : The coming session
ol the Nebraska legislature will bo called
upon to make an appropriation for the
Transmlsslsclppl Exposition to bo held at
Omaha In 16)8 ! ) , and It Is to bo earnestly
hoped that It will bo a liberal one. Over
$400,000 has already been seemed In sub
scriptions to Its capital stock , and congress
has appropriated $200,000 to make a govern
ment oxhlblt , and now It remains for Ne
braska to do the right thing. It will bo the
poorest kind of economy for our legislature.
to refuse to make a liberal appropriation.
Wo may never again have such an oppor
tunity to show to the world the vast re
sources of our great commonwealth , hvery
Nebraskan who loves his state and takes
pildo In her development will take off his
try by putting the goods In their stores and
placing them prominently brfure their cus
tomers. Wo feel sure that the well estab
lished reputation of the manufacturers and ;
the superior quality of the snap will amply
Justify the merchants for , U.iejr ac n , , , . . , It
there 'Is any merit In ( ho homo Industry
movement which has lately" developed so
largely , the Nebraska jobbers , dealers anil
consumers should extend hearty encourage
ment to this new South Omaha enterprise1 ,
for the Cudahy Soap Is not only a Nebraska
product In point of manufacture , but the
chief Ingredients which compose It are
grown and developed on Ncbnukii"soilt <

PAY ROLLS.
The pay rolls of the Cudahy "Caching Com
pany ohoxv that from 2,700 to 3,000 operatives T
and employees were steadily at work during _ 9
the past year , to whom the sum ot nearly
$1,500,000.00 was paid. Tills largo amount
of cash , most of wl.'lch has been spent , In
Omaha and South Omaha , has been of vast ,
benefit to the merchants of those' cities , and ;
has unquestionably enabled many of them to
pull through th ? hard and dull times witb
which we have all had to contend.
As stated elsewhere In tis ) | article , the
goods of The Cudahy Packing Company maybe
bo found for sale on the shsh'e's and In the
\varo houses of merchants in every vlllago
and city of our own land , as well as In nearly
all foreign countries. The cities of Omaha
and South Omaha , and Indeed the whole *
state of Nebraska , may well feel proud of
being so widely advertised by means of prod
ucts of such a high standard and uniform
excellence.

the Trnnsmlsslsslppl Exposition 'in 1893 a

Kearney Hub : Edward Hosewater , editor
of The Omaha Dee , having -been 'appointed
manager of the department of publicity of
the Transmlrislsslppl Expo'sUlotv , Issues a
circular letter to the press iqylting news

fcopc of the enterprise- and the advantages
that must accuro to the states west of the *

a hearty response. Ho Is ono of the best

fitted for the position , and the work that
