Adair, Sec. and Treas. omaha, Nebraska Omaha, Nebraska Do You Fully Appreciate the Importance of Omaha, the New York of the West? Just like Pennsylvania has its coal and steel, and like California its fruits, the raising of live stock and hogs is Nebraska's principal industry. Omaha, as the logical center of the Middle West, is also the logical receiving center of the big live stock belt surrounding us. Omaha is the second largest live stock market in the entire world. The transactions average daily over $1,000,000 Twenty-six states ship to this market. Omaha is the first feeder sheep market, and sec ond in receipt of sheep and hogs. Last year's receipts of the stock yards amounted to 8,742,058 head. Most of this live stock, of course, is sold right in Omaha to Omaha packing houses. There are five large and five smaller packing plants in Omaha. The annual output of the large packers amounts to over $200,000,000. More than 15,000 people are employed with an an nual payroll of over $15,000,000. Fifty-four commission houses with the best talent in salesmanship money can buy, handle the live stock to the best advantage. One hundred and twenty-five feeder buyers and order buyers operate on the local market. Because of its size and proximity, the Omaha mar ket is the logical market for live stock from this terri tory. Over 60,000 cars of fresh meat and packing house products are shipped annually. The live stock output of 26 states is centered in Omaha. ' . The Omaha Live Stock Exchange is the governing "body which controls all trading on the Omaha live stock market. Do you know OMAHA has the largest pharmaceutical and physi cians' supply house west of Chi cago? Yes, and it is THE HENRY R. GERING COMPANY, 1114-1116 Farnam St. ' Carl B.

It is not conducted for gain or profit, but to pro mote uniformity and equity in trade, to inspire confi dence in its members and to protect its patrons. The shipper sends his assignment to a member of the exchange for sale. The latter remits the proceeds in cash on day of sale. All transactions are made by word or mouth, yet out of over one-half million separate trades in 1917 only 12 had to be referred to the arbitration committee. Omaha is where stock raiser and stock feeder meet. More feeder cattle and sheep are sold in Omaha than on any other market in the entire world. There is another reason why Omaha is the second largest live stock center in the world it is because the city is THE heart of the corn belt. Half of the corn raised in the United States, is raised in the territory directly tributary to the Omaha market. No wonder Omaha takes the same place in the corn market as it does in the live stock market the second in the world. When Omaha first became a grain market, less than 15 years ago, there were three terminal elevators and one mill. Now there are 20 elevators and six mills, and plans are being maole for more. Omaha has grown so rapidly as a commercial world center that even its own people can hardly keep pace with its developments. The above figures and statements are cold-blooded facts and compiled to show you the vast importance of your own home town. Are you doing your share in developing Omaha to the New4 York of the West?
