OMAHA"
No industry' in the city has contributed as much to the advancement and settling
up of this community as has the Union Stock Yards at Omaha. Nearly thirty-five years
ago a few of Nebraska's best citizens got together and organized the Union Stock Yards
Co. No single enterprise has enjoyed the remarkable growth that this organization has ex
perienced. This market today stands second in the WORLD, and as a direct result of the es
tablishing of a live stock market at Omaha, the principal packers of the worljd built plants
at this point that have made the name of Omaha famous as a packing, center.
Citizens of Omaha should remember these facts when entertaining
visitors or traveling in other sections of the country and never overlook
an opportunity to boost for the Omaha Live Stock Market. Here you
have the greatest collection of live stock salesmen and buyers in the
country. Here you will find better facilities for proper handling of all
classes of live stock than at any other market. Here you have a larger
demand for feeder stock than anywhere in the world. Do not hesitate
to bring these facts before the public by boosting for the industry that
represents Nebraska's greatest commercial asset.
Over $28,000,000.00 are invested in Stock Yards and packing
houses at Omaha more than 15,000 people are employed, the annual
payroll being more than $15,000,900.00; 60,000 cars of Fresh Meat
and Packing House Products are shipped annually by ten packers lo
cated here, the value of which is over $200,000,000.00.
