placed 10 the hands OF consumers for their
instruction.
In making a canvass of Omaha it is in
tended to supply every house in the city with
such information.
In order to do this effectively it will be
necessary to walt until the manufacturers
who intend to Join the association have
come in so that all Will be represented in the
movement and no line of manufacture be
omitted from the lists furnished the con-
sumers. Manufacturers can see from this
that by delaying the sending in of their
mi for active membership they are hold
Ing back the movement and preventing the
association from acting while the people are
interested.
There are a large number of manufacturers
located at different points in the state whom
1t will be impossible for the secretary to per-
sonally call upon and they should avail
themselves at once OF the opportunity to be
brought before the people in this home pat
ronage movement and send in their names
for membership without delay.
There is a large lumber of different lines
OF goods manufactured at the interior cities
and towns of the state that the people Of
Omaha will use If they are brought to their
notice.
Another branch of the association work
which has been proposed, and which will
doubtless be carried out in time is the estab-
lishment OF a permanent exhibit OF the pro-
ducts OF Nebraska factories. The plan
is to furnish the secretary with a
suitable room and have him arrange
the samples Of Nebraska made goods in as
attractive a manner Us possible and throw
the room open to the public at all hours of
the day. Such an exhibit could be made
very interesting and instructive and would
serve to inform the people as to the actual
products of the state.
Many other schemes for advancing the in
teresJs Of Nebraska industries have been
proposed but those mentioned above have re-
ceived the most attention.
