Some Facts All Nebraskans Ought TO
Scatter Broadcast.

That Nebraska is wholly an agri-
cultural state is an impression that
very generally obtains. 1t is true
that Nebraska's prosperity rests pri-
marily upon the soil, but the same
is true of every great section. 1t
is true that Nebraska's prosperity,
more, perhaps. than any other state,
does and always will depend upon
agriculture. But Nebraska is more
than an agriculture state-it is de-
Yeloping along manufacturing lines
at a wonderful rate. 1t may be news
To most people that there are more
people in Nebraska making a living
apart from agricultural pursuits than
there are who derive a living from
agricultural pursuits. There are more
wage earners, professional men and
people engaged in domestic service
in Nebraska than there are engaged
in farm pursuits. This is indicative
OF Two things. First, that there is
now and always will be a great and
growing home market for agricultural
and live stock products, and second,
that Nebraska is rapidly developing
along industrial lines.
In 1909 the manufactured products
of Nebraska-most of them manufac-
tured from ray products raised in
Nebraska, reached the enormous total
of 5000 coo in round numbers.
This does not include the product
of the printing offices, of several
hundred isolated industries located
in small towns, or finished products
made in homes and put upon the mar
ket. If these were included the total
would easily reach $3.50, 000,0 900. In
1909 there was paid to wage earners
in Nebraska. exclusive of domestic
service, upwards of $780, 600, goo. Ev-
cry step forward in the development
of Nebraska's Misunderstanding ESQ
ces means an advance step in agri-
cultural development.
Nebraska should, and in time will,
manufacture her raw products into
the finished product, instead of ship
ping the raw product east to be man
ufactured and then buying it back,
paying freight charges both ways and
leaving the profits of manufacturing
in the east. Today Nebraska is man
ufaoturing in marketable quantities
everything from automobiles to zwei-
bach. Nebraska flour is standard IL 8
world over, and the milling industry
is growing by leaps and bounds. One
of the largest manufacturers of wind
mills, pumps, etc, in the United
States is looted in Nebraska. One of
the largest sugar factories in the
world is about to begin business in
! western Nebraska. The solution of
the. fuel problem is at hand in the
shape of water power along Nebras-
ka's numerous streams. The Loup,
the N~iobrara. the Blue and the Platte
rivers offer power in almost unlimited
quantity. The raw product for the
manufacture of flour, wooden goods,
shoes, cereal products, CONNECTIONS,
etc, etc, are produced in abundance
in Nebraska
AS a whole Nebraska offers a bet
terrified for Investment along manufac
turing lines than almost any other
state in the union.
Every progressive city in Nebraska
has a Commercial club, and the sec
retaries of these Commercial clubs
will gladly give information to in
tending investors. Free factory sites,
local capital and local patronage are
advantages offered by scores of live
Nebraska cities to men who seek
new and broader field for manufact-
uring enterprises.
