The suggestion of a picture was therefore
denied. But It was a .feature which could

along the highway- affording an actual
photograph of this feature, of "war busi

Fruit Growers Aro
Sending Big Orders
to Omaha Boxmakers
The plendld promise of a big apple
crop In Nenraka and Iowa Is reflected
st prent In the ineressed demsnd for
boxes snd barrels frcm the box fsctorles
In Oinsha. There ere three concerns In
Omaha that manufacture these supplies,
the Omaha Box company, the Acme com
pany snd the Omana toopersse company.
All are feellnr the effects of Increased
tush orders for boxes and herrels.
"No man will gamble very far ahead
on an apple crop." ssld F. S. Knapp,
president of the Omaha Box company,
"S( nil fruit growers ws't until pretty
nearly tho time when they actually need
tlione supplies for the parking seaatm.
Then they begin to get busy with tho
telephone, telegraph and other mean of
communication. That Is tha caa now,
and we are especially busy."
The war Indirectly Increases th busi
ness of the box and barrel factories In
Omaha. This Is because there Is a great
amount of exportation of meats from the
Omaha packing houses to the warring
nations and the lox and barrel factories
In Omaha are naturally turned to first by
the local packers for a supply of boxes
and barrels.
