    THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: JUNE 11, 1916.
9 A:
ANOTHER OLD
LANDMARK GONE
Hotel, at Ninth Bnd Farnam.
Gives Way to a New
Structure.
WAS BUILT IN EARLY DAYS
The wrecking of the old three
story frame hotel building at Ninth
and Farnam streets, directly south
and across Farnam street from the
Union Pacific's old headquarters,
marks the passing of another of the
pioneer landmarks of Omaha. It
marks the obliteration of one of tiie
links connecting the early History
of the city with the present.
The old hotel building that is now
being demolished by the wrecking
crew was known from coast to coast
in the days when Omaha was in its
jvaddling clothes and was known as
J hostelry of considerable impor
tance, but a few years ago it de
generated into a cheap boarding and
jqiping house and such it remained
until it was determined to raze it
that a modern business house might
be erected upon the site.
The old hotel building that was
originally kniwn as the Edwards'
hotel was erected close to fifty
years ago and while it has been
standing and occupied as a hotel for
nearly half a centur - 'ration
of Omahans. ' upon the
stage of acfitm, played their parts
and passed on, but during all these
years the old hotel has withstood the
ravages of time and even now the
wreckers are finding it in pretty good
condition.
Omaha Needed a Hotel.
Along in 1867, although Omaha
was only a frontier town, owing to
the great amount of travel passing
through its gates, there was a de
mand for more hotel facilities. In
those days there was a Dr. Isaac
Edwards residing here. He had ac-
( cumulated a comfortable fortune and
being public spirited he concluded to
erect a hotel. Ninth and Farnam
streets was selected as the site and
property bought there. Plans were
prepared and at a cost of $21,000 dur
ing the summer of 1867 the hotel
was built, Ihe timbers used in the
construction were framed in Chicago
and shipped here. Carpenters and
other mechanics from there came
along to do the building.
Named it Edwards.
Having completed the hotel to per
petuate his name, Dr. Edwards called
the new hotel the Edwards, and a
Mr. Godfrey, who latersjilatted God
frey's addition to the city of Omrha,
became the first proprietor. From
the start the hotel was popular. Dur
ing the Godfrey regime it housed
many notables who were coming to
Omaha as well as those who were go
ing on farther west, but made this a
stopping place for a time while mak
ing the journey.
For two years the hotel continued
is the Edwards and then it was sold.
With the sale there came a change
of name and for some years it was
known as the Casement, in honor of
one of the men who had the contract
for the construction of t long
stretch of the Union Pacific "grade.
Paddock Takes Charge,
The following year a new proprie
tor in the person of Senator Pad
dock came onto the scene and took
charge as proprietor. With his com
ing the name of the hotel was again
changed and this time to the Wyo
ming. It continued as the Wyoming
for a number of years, Senator Pad
dock being succeeded as proprietor
by John C. Higby, sr. Then the late
Harry Gilmore had a season of hotel
proprietorship and then Ira Higby
was the proprietor.
As years passed and business com
menced to move west the Wyoming
lost caste as a nrst-class hotel, but
It continued to be a home-like place
for those who were not seeking too
much style. With the passing of
time it became known as the Elsas
ser and for a period was conducted
by Jacob Elsasser. Subsequently it
was known as the Canfield and as
such it remained for -several years,
being conducted by George Canfield,
later to become the Faris and still
later the Daily. ;
The Daily stuck to the hotel for
several years more and as such it was
known until not long ago, when this
name was dropped and the place be
came a lodging house.

We summarise from letter of Charles J. Greens treet, President of the Corporation, the following:
COMMERCIALLY PROVED REVOLUTIONARY PROCESS OF MANUFACTURE
The Corporation U the owner, under broad and basic patents, both aa to method and apparatus,
of a process involving a new and revolutionary principle of refining oils, which converts 68 per cont to
80 per cant of low grade cheap kerosano, gas oils and other distillates, as well as crude oil, into 'thai
highest grade Gasoline and Naphthas, free from Carbon and Crease, and developing from 28 par cent
to 30 par cent greater efficiency than tbe gasolines now being generally sold, thus rendering avail
able for profitable utilisation by this process the residue of other refineries after they have extracted
all of the gasoline obtainable from crude oil by their methods, and opening the widest source of supply
of raw materials at a coat much below the price of crude oil. ' .
The patents and rights to patents cover the United States and its dependencies, Mexico, Centre)
and South America, the West Indies, Asia, Africa, Australia, New Zealand, and Japan.
THE GASOLINE PROBLEM SOLVED .
The process has been in commercial use for over two years, has been subjected to the severest
tests of experts and millions of gallons of the product have been sold at the highest market prices
and given complete satisfaction. It requires less than two minutes to convert 40 per cent to 50 per
cent of a kerosene distillate into gasoline.
The process requires very small investment for plant, and extremely low cost for operation and
maintenance, as compared to all other known processes.
RIGHTS OF PREFERRED STOCK
The Preferred Stock is entitled to a cumulative dividend at the rate of 8 per cent per annum,
is preferred both as to assets and dividends, and after the payment of dividends at the rate of 8 per
cent upon the Common Stock, is entitled to participate pro rata In all excess earnings. At the option
of the holder, it may be converted at any time in to Common Stock at par for par. No mortgage or
other funded lien can be placed upon the assets of the Corporation without the consent of 75 per cent
of the outstanding Preferred Stock.
A GOING CONCERN
The corporation owns three refineries now in full operation, producing at the rate of 10,000,000
gallons per year. Additions are now being made to the refineries from cash now in the Treasury
which will increase capacity by August 1st, 1916, to 20,000,000 gallons per year.
PROFITS OF MANUFACTURE
Gasoline produced by the Greenstreet proce ss is being sold at a profit of 8 cents per gallon net
to the corporation.
The Preferred Stock is being sold for the p urpose of providing additional refineries, and the
proceeds of the sale of the present offering of Preferred Stock will give a total capacity of 150,000,000
gallons per year.
EARNINGS J
Upon the basis of the present capacity, the net earnings are at the rate of $500,000 per year, or
7 times the dividend requirements on the Preferred Stock now outstanding. Upon the increase of
capacity to 20,000,000 gallons, already provided for, the net earnings will be at the rate of $1,000,000
per year, or 14 times the dividend requirements on the Preferred Stock now outstanding.
TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION .
Having disposed of $900,000 of the Preferred Stock, we offer 420,000 shares, being the balance
