BICYCLE BUSINESS PICKS UP
TwO-Wheeled Carrier Now on Bust
ness Basis and Not the Fad of
Former Years.

Omaha, leader OF the middle west in the
wholesaling and retailing Of sporting goods,
Is also acknowledged the leader in the
kindred industry, the wholesaling and re-
failing OF bicycles. Unfortunately, how
ever, the bicycle business is not what it
was fifteen or twenty years ago. Those
we're the days when the man who did not
own a bicycle was a social outcast, and
the country was full Of cycle clubs, much
as automobiles and automobile clubs oc-
cupy the field today. But about 1895 the
sales on the machines suddenly fell off,
and for several years the industry was
hardly worth mentioning, but the last four
or five years II has picked up again, and
today begins to assume respectfully large
proportions again, although, even now. the
sales Of bicycles are far below what they
were in the palmy days ...a ef
The experience of a local ,wholesaling
concern, the Lee-Glass-Andreesen company,
is enlightening on this point. In the early
days of the craze this company sold an
nually about 1000 wheels. Then the sales

SWEETS MADE FOR THE SWEET
Sugar and Nuts and other Ingredi-
ents Used by the TrainIOad I'm
....s Omaha Factories.

Confectionery manufactured in Omaha in
1909 was valued at 81 ,0O0O 600, and II business
for the present year continues In the same
ratio it has set during this spring and sum
mer, with the heavy winter and holiday
trade when the middle west leans on Omaha
to fill the stockings on the Christmas tree,
this amount will be materially eclipsed.
Omaha has seven thriving candy factories
which supply a large amount of the sweet
meats for the people OF the middle west.
A trainload OF sugar is used by the candy
manufacturers alone in Omaha In producing
their products, while nearly half that
amount OF glucose is utilized. Peanuts by
the carload and hundreds of bushels of
nuts OF every var ~ are purchased by
Omaha factories and shipped here to be
used in making candles which are sold over
a dozen states. t.,r ASS -e
The candy business In this city has grown
wonderfully within the last ten years. dur
ing which time it has risen from number
OF small factories to several OF the best
equipped houses in the west The men at
the head of the concerns have succeeded
in pushing their interests to a point that
during the last decade the output and
profits OF the Omaha companies have in
creased threefold and larger and better
The D. ]. O'Brien Candy company of
this city is the largest concern OF the kind
west of the Missouri river and is growing
with rapid strides. Three hundred thousand
dollars of the confectionery business passes
through this concern, which was established
but ten years ago. .E.
In the manufacture of their candles forty
cars Of sugar, eighteen cars Of glucose, fif
teen: cars Of chocolate, eight cars of pea
nuts and two cars of various other nuts are
produced on an average each day, which
aggregates for the year approximately 2,l9O
tons from this one factory alone.
The company was first organized by Mr..
OBrien on South Thirteenth street and
later moved to 1202-4 Howard street, where
the factory has been located until press of
room made the erection of the present
building at Douglas and Eighth streets
necessary. The first years the O'Brien
Candy company produced Sl25.OOO worth Of
confectionery, which has since practically
tripled in volume AT the new factory,
which has a floor space of 10000 square
feet all heat is produced by manufactured
gas, and one of the cleanest Kitchens in
the country is maintained. One hundred and
eighty men and women are employed in the
factory and fourteen statesmen are kept on
the road, covering Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas,
South Dakota, Wyoming and other states.
The, marvellous growth accredited to one
concern is also true of other representa-
tiyes in the city, Each concern has shared
alike in prosperity and has constantly been
making and selling a greater amount of the
goods over continually larger territory.
Omaha daily bee., 1910-08-17

The great holiday rush, the time OF the
year when candy makers are busy from
early dawn until late at night, makes 1t
necessary for every Omaha factory to en-
gage extra men and women and work their
factories to their capacity. Not only must
the surrounding country be served with the
best available staple goods. but the fancy
novelties are also in great demand. The

mail carriers, business men; in fact by any
person who has a hankering after speed
and does not find II necessary to carry a
particularly heavy burden. Another mod
ern development is the equalization of the
number of bicycle sales between men and
women. One thing which has brought this
equalization about Is the demand for the
vehicles from the school teachers of the
middle western states who use them

only very few jobbers transact business
or buy from the manufacturer direct. In
the few cases where this is done it is
because the manufacturers have delegated
their business to no brokerage firms, cling
lng TO the old-time method of doing every
thing through salesmen.
This system is no longer much in vogue,
especially in the larger cities Jobbers us
ually prefer to buy through broker. de-

The wholesalng and retailing OF bicycles

considerable part of this money goes out
