A Worthy Past--A Greater Future
M. E.'Smith & Co. believe in Omaha. The y are proud of its past; they have faith in its
future. And they believe most heartily that Omaha is the logical meeting place for
the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World when 1922 rolls 'round. y
For progress is the inevitable law and this house has proven in more than 50 years of
activities that Omaha gives unbounded opportunities for ambitious expansion and
growth.
A tiny territory, within a few miles of Omaha a half century ago, has developed into a
trading area reaching from coast to coast. The little frame building has given way to
a great group of factories and warehouses. More than 1,500 employees form our great
family employees who are proud of their motto: "Honest service for all.'
Yes there's the spirit of progress in Omaha. It is the home of institutions that can
never be content to stand still. And because with all its growth, it is young enough to
have many a dream to realize we're hoping it will have the opportunity to see within
its gates the men and women who help to make realities from dreams
