what ~ Omaha Bee Has % say q the
Hammond Ceu>pany.
Few people other than those di-
rectly interested have probably ever
considered the importance Of the
local branch Of the G. II. Hammond
company. established here now near
" two years since. OF the impor-
lance Of this institution the Omaha
Bee has the following. showing the
hOnors Omaha receives at the hands
Of the company:
"While the cities of the north, and,
indeed, the commercial centers of the
world. are sending delegations. COM
mittees and representatives OF vari-
Gus trade organizations to Atlanta.
Ga, to cultivate the acquaintance
and attract the attention Of the great
new south. the individual effort of q
single local firm has done more, per-
haps, to make Omaha known at the
great Cotton States and Interna-
tional exposition than any number OF
delegations could have done. For
within the past week the telegraph
has announced to the world the
awarding Of the highest honors to
the G. H. Hammond company. whose
plant was the first Of the great pack
ing industries to be located in South
Omaha.
This award of the silver medal
for having an exhibition Of the finest
quality Of meat products must be q
source Of Just pride to this firm, and
its local manager, A. H. Noyes. more
especially as nearly all the leading
packers OF the continent we're COM
petitors for the honor. Over three
car loads Of hams. breakfast bacon.
lard. beef extracts and innumerable
canned goods and other outputs. in
GLIDING their new cooking product.
.Cookine. were placed on exhibition.
And an award by this committee Of
careful judges will add to the al
ready widely known Hammond pro-
ducts. an additional celebrity that
will not only be to the advantage OF
the firm. but to the city Of Omaha
and the entire state of Nebraska
Not alone are goods sent to every
state 10 the union. but shipments are
also made tn England. Scotland, Ger
many. France, Holland and other
European countries.
1.-The causes Of success in business
life are primarily painstaking care
and q strict attention to details. and
there is probably no branch Of pro.
duction in which care il more neces.
sary in every process than In the
providing Of meats and the manifold
products obtained from live stock.
To the admirable system and the
utilization Of every modern appli-
ance. material and device is due thu
great success of the q. H. Hammond
company. Under the efficient man.
agement of Mr.. Noyes the South
Omaha establishment of this firm ha!
obtained q position unapproached by
any OF the similar enterprises in tn
world. 1t is claimed that there il
greater care used in the preparing
and preserving of canned meats BY
this firm than in any canning con
Germ in existence. and the grade o
stock used in this department is ,
matter of common notoriety on tn
markets.
"A visit to the colossal plant a
South Omaha will show the best ar
ranged packing houses in the world
It would seem to the ordinary oh
server that no detail. either with ref
erence to facility or cleanliness coul'
be added. Add when the COttol
States and International exposition
passes into history Dec. 81. that evi
dence of . new awakening in tn
south may be recalled by Omaha peo
pie with the pleasant knowledge tina
one Of the city's chief industries re
ceived . well deserved honor at tn
hands OF our brothers of the south.
This evidence Of appreciation o
the part Of Omaha is certainly yer
fattering to the Hammond peopl
and demonstrates that they are lead
ers in their line. The local manage
ment, conducted BY w. j. Price,
anxious that the public should III
derstand that the meats furnished I
the people Of this vicinity are Of tt
highest grade Of excellency and r,
specially asks that all who woul
wish to have the best the mark'
affords cooperate by asking the
dealers for Hammond's meats {
