OMAHA, NEBRASKA
Many of
While visiting one of the great packing houses in South
Omaha the other day, the guide, who took us through the
plant, proudly said: "We use everything here except the
squeal and maybe, we'll even can that."
It was a joke, but a joke with a serious meaning. The
joke explained that the 2Qth century business man realizes
the great opportunities of his commercial enterprise. He
exploits it to the very utmost and turns every bit of mate
rial, may it be iron or bones, sawdust or paper, into cold
silver dollars.
There is no reason in the world why OMAHA should not
be a big oil center. The laying of a pipeline to the oilfields
of Wyoming should be one of the first big enterprises the
big business of OMAHA should undertake.
OMAHA has been chosen as a landing point for the
New York-Chicago-QMAHA-San Francisco Air Mail Serv
ice. We have an excellent flying field here and the con
struction of suitable hangars will soon begin. OMAHA, as
the Gate City of the Middle West, would be the logical
point for a large airplane distribution center. Already nu
merous demands for airplanes have been received and un
doubtedly an airplane factory and aviation school would
prosper here.
OMAHA is one of the largest grain centers in the United
States. In order to keep this industry and further its de
velopments to the proper extent, OMAHA absolutely MUST
have more flour mills. Thousands of bushels of grain are
taken out of the city and state because the proper milling
facilities are lacking.
OMAHA is located in the heart of the corn belt, but
there is not a single silo factory within the city's boundaries.
The immediate erection of such a factory is very much to
be desired.
In connection with the non-existence of silo factories,
we may also mention the great demand fof agricultural im
plements in this community.
This demand has grown to such a proportion that every
larger implement house in the entire country has big
branches and warehouses in OMAHA. However, the city
cannot boast a single factory devoted to the manufacture of
farm implements.
Thousands of bushels of corn annually roll into OMAHA,
and it is an established fact that only too many of them roll
right past the city, because other communities have recog
nized the value of corn products and established large fac
tories entirely devoted to the development of corn products.
Thousands of machinery parts are bought almost daily
in this city. However, the business interests of OMAHA
have failed to take advantage of the opportunity and erect
a malleable iron foundry.
Do you know OMAHA has the
largest pharmaceutical and physi
cians' supply house west of Chi
cago? Yes, and it is

OMAHA.
As the second largest stock market in the United States,
thousands of cattle, sheep and hogs are daily shipped to and
handled in OMAHA. The hides of these thousands of ani
mals, without exception, are shipped eastward to be
tanned. What the east can do, we, too, can do, and an early
establishment of tanneries and lots of them should be
made a main issue on the extension program of the city's
business. ;
In the east entire cities are dependent upon their tan
neries why should not we get the benefit of this industry
of which we already hold the basis the animals and the
hides right in our very hands.
It is hard to understand why a city like OMAHA should
not have at least one large wholesale men's clothing house.
Why should the merchants of this community have to go
to Chicago, New York and other eastern places to make their
purchases. Isn't OMAHA enough of a metropolis and con
venient enough located for the establishment of one large
wholesale house?
OMAHA is one of the principal sheep markets in the
country.
Thousands of sheep are daily shipped here. However,
all the wool the Wyoming ranches produce, passes right
through OMAHA to Boston and other wool markets of the
east.
Why not develop OMAHA to a large wool market?
Naturally in connection with the establishment of a wool
market, we may also cite woolen mills and other corre
spondent factories and establishments.
OMAHA boasts a war record hardly surpassed by any
community in the United States.
For weeks and weeks hundreds of OMAHA business men
devoted their entire time to the "putting over" of the bond
issues and other war activities.
IF THESE SAME BOOSTERS, OF WHICH THE COM
MUNITY RIGHTLY IS SO PROUD, WOULD ONLY PUT
HALF OF THE ENERGY THEY GAVE TO THE WAR
ACIVITIES BEHIND GREATER OMAHA PROJECTS, BE
HIND THE EXPANSION OF OMAHA BUSINESS AND
COMMERCIAL ACTIVITIES .AND FACILITIES, THE
CITY WOULD DOUBLE ITS SIZE WITHIN A FEW
YEARS.
By boosting OMAHA and by bringing new business here,
the citizens do not only aid their community, but themselves,
and the sooner Omaha business men put up a united front
and start an organized campaign for the development of
the facilities some of which are mentioned in this article
they will realize that a GREATER OMAHA means a BET
TER OMAHA and actual cold silver dollars in their own
pockets.
