Is HEADQUARTERS FOR BOILERS

So marked has Omaha's supremacy
always been in those lines Of industry
which its happy location in the heart of the
greatest agricultural and stock raising dis
trict of the world. led 1t. early, to take up
that, until comparatively recent years Its
citizens have confined their attention
largely to such work and have not pushed
forward to any considerable extent into
the field Of manufacturing until recent
years
The last few years, however, have seen
Omaha taking mammoth strides forward
in the development If its manufactures
and II the output Of its factories continues
to increase at the present rate, it will be
but a few years until Omaha will move
from the comparatively obscure place which
It has occupied until the recent past and
take its place, as 1t has long since done
in other lines of industry, among the lead
ing cities of the world in point of yearly
output of manufactured goods.
In no line of manufacturing is this growth
more noticeable than among those firms
which make their business the manufacture
of articles from steel and iron. Radiator

WHY the Dog Fled.

He was only a bulldog, but when he

ably OF Canton, O,-stands small chances
of seeing him again soon, while several
of the officers at police headquarters are
wondering at what they regard as a demon
stration of canine intelligence.
Deck Sergeant Weaver OF Indianapolis
answered the telephone and listened TO the

BUILDERS SUPPLIES DIVERSE
business Reaches Enormous Proper
lions in Omaha and Is Growing
Larger Steadily.

The contractors supply business in Omaha
Is a large one and is of course spread over
many and diverse fields This fact makes
1t almost impossible to secure any figures
on the business which will even approae h
accuracy, or to make any statements which
are not subject to several exceptions,
The extent of the contractors supply
business In Omaha In a year viii Just
about equal the amount of material which
Is put into the construction of Omaha build
ings bridges and roads in the same time
considerable portion of the supplies for
Omaha building operations are imported
from other places, but they, in almost every
| case, pass through the hands of Omaha re-,
tailers and the small amount which does
not Is more than compensated for by the
amount Of business which Omaha concerns
do in foreign fields. The extent of such
operations in city growing as Omaha Is,
| is Immense, and the business will run we'll
into the millions every year,
All the Omaha firms engaged in this bust
ness predict reasonable increase In husi-
ness for the year and expect this increase
TO come mostly from within the city. The
many additions 10 Omaha which are being
projected as well as the amount of building
/ going on in the business district, are re-
sponsible for the present healthy condition
OF the business,
A great many materials which are used
/ by contractors are manufactured here.
/ This is true OF structural iron and steel,
sashes and doors, brick grading machinery,
/ tile and a number of other articles. The
greater part Of the material which is re-
tailed here, however, comes from the manu-
featuring or finishing establishments, or
wholesalers OF other cities.

DOUGLAS COUNTY WELL PAVED
Many Good Roads Lead from OmahS
In All Directions to the
Country,

Douglas county is becoming splendidly
equipped with roads leading into Omaha
for we'll paved arteries for traffic lead In
every direction from the city. The first
start was made many years ago, when
Dodge street was paved with maeadam a
distance of eight miles from the city limits,
This pavement has now been extended
nearly TO Elkhorn, and besides this ma
cadam roads have been built in every di-
reetion,
-Four years ago the state had law
enacted that gives the county quite a rev.
enue from inheritance taxes, and this Is
used by Douglas county In road building,
suburbs Of Omaha are not not all all
backward In the matter OF paving, Dundee
10 to do a very large amount Of paving and
the question OF material 20 be used was
recently quite bone OF contention in the
little village, II was finally decided by a
vote Of The property owners to use as
phalt,
Florence has paved lis main thorough
fare with brick. and South Omaha does a
large amount OF paving each year.

paralleled and prophecies that the output
for 1910 will show a total far in advance
of that of previous years.
One of the largest industries which
Omaha boasts along this line is that car
ried on by the American Smelling and Re-
filming company at Its mammoth plant at
the corner of Fifth and Dodge streets. This
company, which is alone in its field as far
as Omaha Is concerned, reported the Inn
mense output of S9O.OOO,0O0 for last year. At
the same time 1t reported that this was a
bit under figures of the year before, and
explained the decrease by the lower price
Of lead, which had lowered the total, al
though a larger amount of metal had been
handled. 1t was predicted at that time
that during the current year the total
would rise at least to the old mark, and the
business which the company has so far
done has more than made good the proph-
ecy At the present time this looks to be
the banner year for the smelling industry
in Omaha
Structural Iron Concerns.
Omaha has many concerns which conrine
their attention exclusively to the manu-
facture of structural and bridge iron and
steel. OF these large companies, probably
the greatest volume Of business Is handled
by the Paxton g. Vierling iron works, which
are located at the intersection Of Seven
tenth street and the Union Pacific rail-
way tracks. Mr.. Vierling of the company
is authority for the statement that the
value of last years output for the city
totaled about $4,000 worth of structural
iron and steel and about $6O0O0O worth OF
foundry products. When asked for a pre-
diction as to this years business, Mr.. Vier-
ling was loath to guess at the total output
of the city's concerns, but stated that, as
far as his own company is concerned, he
expects an increase Of almost 20 per cent
in the years product.
Conditions locally in the steel and iron
business are peculiar however For some
reason, almost unaccountable, the greater
part of the years business always comes
in during August and September. The
years results so far have been above that
for the same period of last year, but
whether the volume of business increases
proportionately during the remainder of the
year depends largely upon where several
large local contracts go, and II they be
let to foreign parties the expected increase
may not materialize. The local iron men
feel that they hardly get an even break
with out-of-town steel concerns on Local
work, local contractors invariably demand
ing a lower rate from local men than from
outside bidders. But despite this handicap
they are sanguine of the large growth OF
| their industry in Omaha In the next few
years.
