women who have been trained in Omaha in
the work they perform, and they do it
well and are interested in the progress OF
the institution, as evidenced by the quail
ity Of the goods and the unusual service
with which patrons are favored.
Cotton flour sacks, burlap grain bags,
special advertising matter for manufactur
ing institutions, such as aprons, bibs, bags
that can subsequently, be used for towels.
and twine for sewing and tying represent
the heaviest part of the firms output. New
machinery has been contracted for for the
manufacture Of fly covers, heavy winter
horse blankets and outing belts, and within
a year this branch of the business is ex-
pected to materially increase the growth
and output of the concern.
The interior of this plant when it is fin
ished will be replete with all modern ap-
pliances for the manufacture of the vari-
Gus lines involved as we'll as for the com
fort, health and convenience of the en-
ployes.
For several years past the Bems Omaha
Bag Co. has produced in their own estab-
lishment one of the hapdsomest calendars
which appears in the holiday season. So
complete is their plant that every process,
including the designing, is the work of
their various departments. This year they
have issued a Game Animal Calendar"
consisting of twelve pages of beautiful de-
signs, showing in the natural colOrs buff
falo, moose, black tail and Virginia deer
mountain sheep, caribou, elk, black bear
grizzly bear, polar bear, antelope and
mountain goat. There is no advertising of
any kind on the calendar. The calendar
printed on paper, will be sent anywhere
by mail, postpaid, on receipt of twenty-five
cents, and on cloth for fifty cents. 1t is
a gift that will be particularly pleasing to
any lover of big game and alike instructive
and interesting to young and old.

MONG the Industries Of the west
al that have moved stead ly forward
~ in the march OF progress there
Sl54pM is none that gives better evi-
Sa dence Of the value Of is ciH'
service rules and energy than the Omaha
plant Of the Bemis Omaha Bag Co.
Starting in 1887 with a handful Of en-
ployes and utilizing but two floors Of 66x
1872 building, a steady increase Of business
has now developed the plant into probably
the largest amount OF floor space
OF any bag factory in the coun-
try. The present structure, which
includes three reparate and distinct
buildings. all connected with brick stair
ways OF the latest improved style, now COW
ers three lots 6Gx132. The buildings there
on aggregate seventeen stories, 66xi32, and
are owned individually by Mr.. J. NJ. Bemis
Of Boston. president OF the Bemis Bros Bag
Co, and his continued investment OF capi-
tai in the development OF Omaha is a
matter OF great pride and encouragement
to its citizens.
Naturally, the origin OF It's raw material
is OF vital Importance to any manufactur-
ing plant Unusual resources enable this
factory to import its burlap for grain bags
direct from India to Omaha by the cargo.
The cotton bag department Is materially
benefited by direct shipments from the
companys own large cotton mills at Jack
son, Tenn, and st. Louis, well as by
their bleachery and machine shops at In
dlanapolis.
The manager OF the plant takes particular
pride in the fact that his entire business
experience OF twenty-five years has been
confined to the Bemis Bros Bag Co, start
ing as an office boy and handing on to the
employees who have remained faithful to
the institution the eastern training and ex-
perience OF his earlier years. The heads

office department that letter carrier must
not work a minute over eight hours day.
II he does and his superiors find it out, he
is brought before a postal court and fined
days pay. Eight hours work would
scarcely permit carrier to get rid of the
mail brought in by one though train for
the people along his route; therefore, OF
necessity, he falls back on the substitute,
and often he has FIVE and six helping him.
Even in the outlying districts Of a big
city, where the population thins out al
most to village density, the carrier fire.
quently has a substitute.
Closely akin in their line of work to the
mail clerk and the letter carrier, the ex-
press messenger and the expressman can
boast of no time for salad. The number
of packages handled increases all the way
from 100 to $50 and 400 per cent. This
means putting scores of more express cars
into service, using all sorts of wagons OBJ
tainable for delivering, and employing
hundreds of extra men. But let regulars
and extras work as hard as they can,
Christmas day will find them still handing
packages in through front doors, and still
strangers to rest and sleep that they have

creases over rs per cent almost in the
twinkling Of an eye no time can be wasted
II the great American public is to receive
its gifts on Christmas morn.
AS the mail clerks task is phenomenally
multiplied, so is the work OF the letter
carrier. In a skyscraper, where he usually
delivers $4,000 letters a day to 5000 ten
ants beginning at the twenty-ifth story
and distributing as he walks earthward,
he scatters among the occupants 10000
messages and packages. In the residential
sections he not only appears with two
buging bags suspended from each shoul-
der and one in his hands, as in the sky
scraper; in addition he is accompanied by
two or three assistants-often messenger
boys-pushing hand carts loaded heaping
full with holiday remembrancCs On the
day before a recent Christmas a PhiladTl-
phia carrier was obliged to employ a horse
and delivery wagon.
Even though the letter carrier thus
makes a groaning beast OF burden OF him
self, he would not be able to play his role
OF Santa Claus to the entire satisfaction

He was dressed all in furs from his head to
foot
And his clothes were all tarnished with
ashes and SCOT.
A stubb of a pipe he held fast in his teeth,
And the smoke 1t encircled his head like a
wreath.
His eyes, how they twinkled; his dmples
how merry;
His cheeks were like roses and his lips like
a cherry.
He had a red nose and a round little belly
Which shook when he laughed like bowl
full of Jelly.

little belly that shakes when DE laughs
like a bowlful of jelly" AS a type he Is
as straight as an arrow, fiat "A board,
muscular and 1.-the. His features are
clear-cut as a cameo; his eyes snap with
the strenuous energy of which his whole
body is a breathing exponent. and often
reckless, devil-may care spirit is fascinat-
ingly combined with an unshakable great
sense of duty.
This twentieth century st. Nicholas is
found in many places, and he wears many
costumes. Sometimes he sits in the locomo-
tive cab and his hands and face, peaked
cap and Jumper" suit are grimy with the
contents Of his oilcan and coaldust. Some
times he rides back of the locomotive in the
first car and. as the train plunges through
the country, white with snow or leaden un-
der dour skies, in his shirt sleeves he works
miracles with bag after bag OF Christmas
messages and packages. He is the nimble-
handed railway mail clerk; and his twin is
the express messenger who, in neighbor-
ing car, bearing the companys name, as
does his blue cap, sometimes handles as
many as 5000 parcels at this time of the
year in a single run.
Again he Is that picturesque relic OF the
great vests most picturesque days-tho
stage coach driver. Still again he is the
man VINO goes down into the deep with
the leetfooted liners. And yet again ie
is the gray -garbed letter carrier the ex-
press wagon man, the department store de-
livery man, the man who makes out and
clears the foreign money orders sent to
fathers and mothers and sweethearts in
Europe by Anton SZacZ, miners helper In
the anthracite coal region; Pietro BobettI,
resident CT a little Italy; Bridget O'Brien,
charwoman in skyscrapCr, and John Dob
bins, carpet weaver, transplanted from the
right little, tight Httle island"
Last, but not least he Is the blue clad
messenger boy, ali hough, strictly speak
ing, he is not a representative type OF the
real American Kris Kringle.
It is at this season OF the year that the
messenger boys troubles are thiCkest for
now his work Is hardest. For a week be-
fore the holiday, and from dawn until far
into the night, he is loaded down with
piles OF packages which hide all OF his
body except hands and legs from view. 1t
