there, that $4,000 does not go

easy to initiate clearing house figures
if one wants to. But Omaha has never
attempted to secure a temporary ad-
vantage by any such methods. And
the clearing house report is all gen.
ulne and solid business. "@''
If Omaha is sixteenth in the amount
of its bank clearings among all the
cities of the United States and that
with only nine of its banks putting
their interbank transactions through

There is no secret to it," said a
banker. 1T is natural and legitimate
growth, backed up by great and grow

this must be added an unmatched

ments during next year is increased

new building to the south and west
of the present two-story, pressed
brick structure. Then, by reason of
the increase of the business, it is going
to be necessary to enlarge the ca
pacity for manufacturing and to do
this, much costly machinery will have
to be purchased. This is going to
take money and in order to enab&
the company to raise this money, the
people of Omaha are going to be let
in on an investment proposition. The
company is putting some stock on
the market that is guaranteed to pay

be sold at par.

today. They are managed along con-
servative lines. There is no city with
better banks than OmaAa's.
There is vast difference even in
the physical aspect of Omaha banks
today and the humble structures in
which the pioneer banks did business.
Some of the banks which today oc-
cupy "skysTapers" started business
here in ohe-story, frame buildings of
one room. They had safes so poor
that the money was not left in them
at night. Their counters were pine
boards covered with oi1cloth.
Today some of the most prominent
and valuable corners in the city are
occupied by the structures Of these
great institutions. The State Bank of
Omaha has a ffteen-story structure,
occupying part Of the ample first floor
with its banking rooms. The First
National bank, within the last year,
abandoned a six-story structure and
moved into its fourteen-story build
ing, equipped with all the most luxur-
ious furnishings and the latest things
in safety and burglar-proof installa-
tons.
Shortly before this move was made
the United States National, bank
moved into its new home, one of the
most magnificent banking buildings
in this country. The Omaha National
bank has had Its splendid banking
rooms on the first floor OF its tall Of
fee building for a number of years.
Ali the other banks have substantial
buildings which reflect the prosperity
and stability that are theirs.

The process butter department is
the only one OF its kind west of Chi

modern kind of machinery. This
process Butter, as is we'll known, is
butter gathered from the farms Of
Nebraska and adjoining states and
from the stores. 1t comes to the Al
falfa Butter company in great tubs
and barrels and of course, there is
a considerable portion that does not
grade No. |, but before it goes onto
the market to compete with the cream
cry butter, it has gone through a
process that brings it up to 100 per
cent grade and makes it the equal of
the best products of the creameries.
Making Process Butter.
In the manufacture of the process
butter, the butter brought from the
country is thrown into great fore
warmers and heated to temperature
OF lz0 degrees, after which the oil
goes into the pasteurizing units and
brought to a temperature OF lS0 de-
grees, this heat disposing of any bac-
terra that might exist. After this, it
goes to the cooling watts, where it is
ripened, later cooled and then it goes
on its way to the churning room and
there is converted into the cleanest
and sweetest fresh butter that you
ever tasted.
After being churned, the fresh but
ter starts on its way, stopping in
large tanks where the buttermilk is
worked out and where the butter is

OF course you hive heard of Alfalfa
butter, but if you have never bought
and eaten any, possibly you have
labored under the impression that it
is a product of alfalfa, the livestock
forage plant that has gone a long
way in helping to make Nebraska and
Nebraska land famous. If you have
been possessed of this impression, the
impression has been a wrong one, for
Alfalfa as applied to butter is only
trade name. Notwithstanding all this,
Alfalfa butter is real butter, made
from pure cream, and commands the
highest price on the butter market.

and treasurer. Around them they
gathered capitalists and practical
creamery men and soon completed the
erection of a modern creamery and
butter manufacturing plant at Elev-
enth street and Capitol avenue. They
purchased a quarter of a block of
ground and since then have invested
some $550,000 in building and
equipment.
Have Complete Plant.
1t goes without saying that here the
Alfalfa Butter company has the most
complete plant in the country, where
daily 10000 pounds of cream is being
converted into the highest grade
creamery butter, and, in addition,
where 10000 pounds of country butter
is being worked over each day and
manufactured into butter that excels
the best creamery product, if such a
thing 's possible.
The business of the. Alfalfa Butter
company gives employment to sew
enty-five people and it has more than
1000 producing customers in Ne
braska, Iowa, Kansas and South Da-
kota, who are daily shipping cream
and butter to the Omaha plant.
While the Alfalfa Butter company
has been doing business but little
more than a. year and a half, its out
put this year will exceed $l,500,000,
with every indication that it will be
doubled nextyear, when new produc-

Ezra Millard, after leaving the firm
of Millard, Caldwell & Co., organized
the Omaha National bank with a capi-
tai of $4,000, holding the position of
president and engaging Joseph N.
Field as cashier. Mr.. Field came to
Omaha and signed the first currency
of the bank. but never really acted
as cashier, that position being vacant
until January, 1867, when it was filled
by the appointment of ], H. 'Millard,
its present president. This bank be-
gan business July /, 1866, in a one
Story frame building about 20x40
feet at the northwest corner of Four
teenth and Douglas streets. The bank
ing room was separated by a board
partition from a little room at the
rear which was used as a directors
room by day and bedroom for the
watehman at nightThe banking room
had a counter of pine boards painted
white. A, large safe with "burglar-
proof" chest at the bottom stood at
the rear of the room. The safe was
not considered safe enough to guard
from burglars and every night large
sum was taken to the establishment of
Millard, Caldwell & Co. and left there
over night. This was done until
ll67, when the bank occupied its
new quarters at Thirteenth and Doug
las streets. considered very commodi-
Gus and elegant in those days.
Grows Into Merchants National.
In the fall of of 1866 J. A. Ware &
Co. opened banking house at, Thir-
teenth and Farnam streets. This en-
terprise succeeded and the business
was acquired eventually by Governor
Alvin Saunders, Ben B. Wood and
others, who started the State Bank of
Nebraska and this in turn was sue
ceeded, October 2, 1882, by the Mer-
chants National bank of Omaha. Its
building. at the northeast corner of
Thirteenth and Farnam streets. was
erected in 1888.
In 1882 Henry w. Yates, who had
been in the employ of the First Ma
tinal bank for nineteen years. severed
his connection with that institution
and started the Nebraska National
Bank, A. E. Touzalin joining him in
the enterprise. 1t started with paid
up capital of $250,0O0, at that time the
largest in the state. Its first banking
quarters were a frame building, fort
merly occupied by Brash's Clothing
store, and here the bank remained
until its permanent banking building
at the northwest corner Of Twelfth
and Farnam streets was completed. ,
