THE BEE: OMAHA. THURSDAY, MARCH 18, v1920.
WESTERN OFFICE
OF $10,000,000
FIRM FOR OMAHA
Concrete Warehouse to Be
Erected at Cost of $300,
OOO Headquarters Now
At Des Moines.
ik.Mai h wifi mean the transfer
of the western headquarters of the
Cleveland Metal Products Co., a
$10,000,000 Ohio corporation, from.
Des Moines to Omaha, was com
pleted Tuesday by George fl Co.,
Omaha representatives of the firm,
who acquired yi its name a -quarter
of a block at the northeast corner
of Thirteenth and Davenport streets.
According to George & Co., the
consideration involved was $29,000.
A three or four-story warehouse of
reinforced concrete is to be erected
on the site at once. According to
information received by J. E. George,
the building will cost $300,000.
The Cleveland company manufac
tures kerosene oil stoves and other
oil burning devices, and various
kinds of aluminum cooking utensils.
Its distribution is world wide.' The
products of the company are sold
under the trade names of "New
Perfection," "Aladdin," and "Puri-
tan." For the present the Omaha
branch of the company' will be a
warehouse and offices of the middle
western headquarters, and no pro
Visions for manufacturing will be
made.-
The company has been negotiat
ing in Omaha for a site for more
than a year, Mr. George explained.
Efforts through the Chamber of
Commerce, Real Estate board and
railroads .to secure a location that
could be rented failed, so the com
pany bought a site and will put up
their own building.
Their present distributing arrange
ment, with Des Moines , as head
quarters for this territory, has
proven inadequate for some time, ac
cording to word received from G. C.
Davis of Cleveland. His investiga
tion proved Omaha to be the logi
cal place, because of better railroad
service. It is understood that Kan
sas Cityand other points in sur
rounding' states were also con
sidered. According to Mr. Davis, E. A
Parks, district manager, now at Des
Moines, will come to Omaha as soon
as the branch is opened. At least
30 persons will be employed in the
plant, and it is expected that he
annual business through the office
will ampunt to $1,250,000. y

Omaha Man Disappears;
Leaves Wife and Three
Children With Only $1
L. P. Moran, 2815 Leavenworth
street, disappeared from his home
last Friday afternoon, leaving but
$1 for his wife and three children.
He left this note on the dining
room table:
"Goodby, sweetheart, I can't
stand it any longer. You were my
only pal, I realize. God bless you
and, good luck.M
Mrs. Moran reported to police.
Her husband went away with the
family automobile, leaving an un
paid mortgage on it amounting to
$250, Mrs. Moran said.
"I can't understand his actions,"
7"
she said. "We have been the best
of pals and ours was a happy home.
He has never deceived me in any
matter and I trusted him any
where. ' -
"He has been sadly distracted
since the death of his first wife and
3-year-old child two years ago. That
may have preyed on his mind, but I
know he'll come back to me."
Mr. and Mrs. Moran were married
on September 29, 1919. Mrs. Moran
was a widow and the mother of
three children when she met her
present husband. '
