Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1910-08-17

terest to people Of this section OF the ma
ton. Perhaps first in Importance in the
classified list would come the farm papers
-Four are published in Omaha, carrying to
the farmers each week the most modern
ideas along lines OF scientific farming and
doing much toward the advancement OF
agriculture.
Ten commercial and trade papers are
printed In Omaha, embracing all lines Of
business and dealing with the most inn
proved business methods. For those of
foreign tongue there are fourteen publica-
lions, and they in turn are classified. &C
cordlng to the varied needs OF their readers
from farm topics to business news. They
are printed mainly in three different Ian
guages-swedish, German and Bohemian.
Five Church Papers.
For church workers in Omaha, Nebraska
and the surrounding states the religious
publications number five. Sportsmen have
their papers to the number of three cover
ing motoring, horse racing and the numer-
Gus open air activities. Two school papers,
put out by the Omaha High school and the
Creighton university, make public what is
going on among the city's student body.
With a number OF miscellaneous papers
there is little of the field left uncovered.
Omaha is we'll prepared to care for. not
only the city. but the entire state when 1t
comes to publicity. In the city, all doing a
thriving business, there are sixty-five book
and job printing establishments. Instances
where 1t has been necessary for an Omaha
or Nebraska author to send away his story
for printing and binding are scarce, for the
work can be done just as we'll at home
and 1t usually is.

graphic supplies are now supplying about
95 per cent of the goods used in Omaha and
large percentage of those used in the
state For Nebraska and even for portions
of the states north and west Omaha is the
distributing point of Photographic goods
Professional photographers, as we'll as anna
tours, send their orders to the Omaha deal
ers and only in few instances do users
have their supplies sent from manufac-
turers or large wholesale houses in the east.
1t might be appropriate TO mention here
that cameras, kodaks and supplies are be-
! ing demanded more and more each season
The industry is growing. Where before
photography was used mainly upon a COM
mercial basis, it is coming about that 1t is
taken up as a means Of amusement to such
an extent that 1t can easily be classed
among outdoor sports.
western Newspaper Union.
To the Western Newspaper Union head
| quarters in Omaha is due much of the
credit for the cty's Importance as a point
| from which news matter is distributed over
/ the state. Hundreds of the small news
| papers Of Nebraska and Iowa receive daily
shipments Of plate and are thereby able to
| furnish their readers the news only a short
time later than the large dailes with tele-
graph service,
The monster presses and stereotyping
machines Of the Western Newspaper Union
are continually working turning out the
plates ready to be set in the press as soon
as received. And this is only small part
Of the work of the Union. A person publish
ing a small paper. book or pamphlet, with
out the facilities for doing his own print
ing and binding, can turn his copy over to
the Union and have his publication put out
ready for circulation.
Along this same line Of the commercial
| life Of the city should be mentioned the
Great Western Type foundry. Covering a
territory which includes the states of Ne
braska, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, western
Iowa and the Black Hills county Of South
Dakota, the type foundry draws to Omaha
every year an immense volume OF business.
Everything necessary in a printing office
or a newspaper establishment can be
secured from the Omaha foundry. 1t is
distributor for all makes OF printing
presses, from the small job presses
to the huge perfecting presses for the big
newspapers Newspapers in the territory
covered draw upon the Omaha foundry for
type, presses, engines and all accessories to
the machinery used In their offices.
1t Is not necessary for Omaha printers
to go outside the city for their paper. The
Western Paper company, wholesale con-
Germ, Is able to furnish paper for every
publication in the city. Thus, with a supply
at their very doors. Omaha publishers have
the advantage Of being able to secure ample
material II necessary at a moments notice

The city's waste paper Is taken care Of
to good advantage The Omaha Paper
Stock company, buyers. packers and
shippers Of waste paper, handles thousands
Of pounds daily collecting 1t from over
the city and shipping 1t out to the large
