Missives Not Tied Up in Pink

Love letters never die.
Even if they are torn up and
thrown away, instead of being tied
in pink ribbon and saved for read

a breach of promise suit, they con-

paper industry. For love letters, i
tickets all arc nshed out cf waste
baskets and melted into some new
form of fresh, clean paper.
Thus, the candy box that holds
the gift to the young lady around
thex corner may have been made
from the very letters she sent you
while on her vacation next summer.
t True, there is an equal chance that
the tender missives have been
pounded into pulp and made into
a shoe box, or a container for soap.
Of course, if you are old fashioned,
and burn your correspondence,
that's different, and you. or whoever
cleans tip your scraps, loses the cent
a pound that even the most trifling
messages arc wo'rth.
How It Goes.
Several tons of waste paper arc
rollected . in Omaha each day.
Newspapers, old records, books,
magazines, wrapping paper, scratch
paper from the school room, all this
and more are grist to the waste
paper men; and all reappear in the
form of some necessary paper bo
or another.
The litter from the offices of the
tall downtown buildings is usually
baled or put in sacks' every two
weeks, so fast docs it accumulate. In
the nineteenth story of the Wood
man of the World building, six tons
a month is sold to the paper stock
company. The biggest customer
of the waste paper buyers is a rail
road headquarters here, which aver
ages 25' tons a month. Its check
for last month was $700. I ' '!
Howard G. Loomis. manajrer of
the Omaha National Bank building,
keeps a . man at 'work four hours
each day baling up the paper waste.
"In the old days this used to be
one of the perquisites of the jani
tyr" says Mr. Loomis. "but the job
haa grown too big. We sell three
and a half tons a month, which in
a year amounts tj about 42
tons. The price just about pays the
wages of the baler, so there is no
profit hi the work, except that this
is the easiest way to get rid of re
fuse that is a fire danger if left to
accumulate."
Always Picking Up.
' . The waste paper business, of
course, always is picking up, but it
is best iiiithe fall, when new goods
are coming in and the jobbers and
retailers and ultimate customers all
have a great many things to tin'
wrap. Christinas wrappings alone
are a bist item. ; , .
" The Solvation Army, churches,
schools and missionary societies, are
v among those who make a practice of
selling old papers. Children somer
times use this means to get spending
money, just as the other generation
sold bottles and iron. Magazines
bring a better rate than most other
waste, and in large' quantities bring
a cent a pound Newspapers' are
worth from 50 to' 75 cents 100
pounds, although this rate cannot be
paid by the collectors who call on
householders. They act as middle
men and have to sell their accumu
lated stocks at that price. v
. Then It is Shipped, . ,
All the-waste paper collected in
Omaha is shipped to the mills by
one firm, the Omaha Paper Stock
company. In a large building near
Eighteenth and Leavenworth streets.
a torce of men and women, whose,;
payroll amounts to $1,200 a week,
are employed in sorting and baling
the waste. Nothing of value, other
, than paper is ever found. Tin cans,
string, typewriter ribbons and scraps
of office lunches are among the
things to be taken out.
On an average, a carload of paper
is shipped east every two days.
There sre no mills here, but the en
tire output is taken by paper mills
in Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan.
To keep the smallest mill going it is
said the supply must equal 75 tons
: a day, and .Omaha's supply amounts
oly to 10 tons. "v
A box making company here has
a mill in Illinois which supplies it
with strawboard and chipboard, the
.latter made up from scrap paper, for
Snaking corrugated and other kinds
of boxes. Its waste cuttings, 'to
gether with the scraps out f the
waste baskets are shipped back at
the fate of a carload a week, to be
led 'into
turnc
paper once more.
