Making Omaha a Still Better Place to Live In
Tla Vsilie of Your
overaed Iby fe

VHEN you go into a dealer's store, and ask for ' 'Goods that have a large
part of their origin m this district, ' ' you are getting considerably more
than the actual worth of the purchase itself. Though they are not wrapped
up with the package you carry away, you receive with these goods, good
roads, modern schools, efficient police .protection, safety against fire
adequate water supply, proper street-lighting and scores of other benefits
A part of the cost of these you pay for yourself, it is
true, through your municipal taxes. But only a part.
,The cost is divided with you, not only by manufac
turers with their heavy investments in plants, factor
ies, equipment, etc., but by their thousands of em
ployees, who spend their wages where they earn
them.
There is yet another point to be considered. Indus
tries must have raw material to work with. Much
raw material is produced 'in Omaha territory.
Armour and Company, for example, pay to live
stock producers in territory tributary to Omaha, over
$75,000,000 annually for cattle, sheep and hogs.
And of this huge sum, a very considerable portion
eventually finds its way through the district's trad
ing channels, either in the stores and shops of the
city itself, or is paid to Omaha merchants, jobbers
and manufacturers for goods sold in outlying towns
and trading centers.
Hence it is that when you specify goods produced in
your home market, you are not only getting good
value in the commodities you buy, but you are build
ing up your community, making your home and your
property worth more, and making possible better
public service for all concerned.
Among Omaha industries, the institution of Armour
and Company occupies a prominent place. Build
ings, machinery and equipment represent a huge in
vestment. Some twenty-eight hundred employees
gain their livelihood here. They receive over
$4,000,000 annually in wages. And all this is
permanent. As long as farmers and stockmen pro
duce meat and people eat it, the Armour plants will
be in operation, and the Armour business a con
tributing factor to the prosperity of the Omaha ter
ritory. With these facts in mind, when you purchase Armour
meats, Armour's Oval Label Foods, and other
Armour Products, you are directly supporting a con
cern which directly supports you.
