tons of leather and 492 tons of :

Omaha to Island of Java
When we stop for a moment to consider Omaha as it was
twenty years ago we are astonished at the wonderful progress made
in its growth and business activity.
Among the wide awake manufacturing concerns of Omaha that
are doing their part to put Omaha on the map of the world is the
Weir company at Forty-fifth and Cuming streets. This company
commenced building bodies for motor vehicles three years ago.
Having a thorough technical knowledge and practical training for
this line of manufacture as well as possessing the necessary equip
ment, immediately their output was recognized by all familiar with
that class of work as handsome in design, durable in construction and
excellent in workmanship. Hence it is that when high class bodies are
desired, orders for them come to this Omaha firm from the remote
corners of the world. . '

The bus shown here is one of a number made in Omaha and

divided into first and second class compartments as is customary in
Europe. They are equipped with electric lights, signal system, seats
and shades similar to those used in Pullman cars.
