Little Dreamed His Macaroni Plant of 10 Years Ago
Would Develop Mammoth Proportions of Present
Skinner Concern-Boasts of Friendly Attitude Of
Public Toward Firm With 5000 Stockholders

When Paul F. Skinner, chairman
of The Skinner company board of
directors, organized and put in op-
Grafton the Skinner Macaroni COM
pany, 10 years ago, he expected his
project to be a success. He was
born and raised in Nebraska and
had confidence in the state and its
metropolis. Moreover he was con-
vinced that His rather broad ex-
perience in the newspaper business
had fitted him for the job of making
the business a success.
= Even he did not anticipate the
rapid growth Of the macaroni plant,
however, and if he had been told
that in 10 years his interests would
include not only the many times
enlarged nacaroni factory but a
large baking Establishment in
Council Bluffs. a great modern pack
ing plant on the South Side and a
huge storage plant in Omaha, he
doubttess/ would have laughed
scorntully. ct TO-DAY, Just lU years
after the macaroni factory was
founded, the Skinner company inter-
ests include all of these things.
Mr. Skinner attributes the grea,
success of his enterprises to consist
ent advertising and what he calls
the desire of the people for the bes,
grade of products.

Macaroni company, many people

Steel Bars in Skinner
Plant, Put End to End,
Would Reach New York

The Concrete Steel company fur
nished more than 100000 worth of
their material for the construction
of the Skinner Co. packing plant. ac-
.cording to c. M. Stoffel, manager of
the Omaha branch. More than 1000
tons of .fHavemeyer" bars were used
in the construction work of the
plant, Mr. Stoffel says.
"An idea of the enormous tom
mage of steel used in the plant may
be arrived at when it is known that
if the reinforcing bars were placed
end to end they would reach from
Omaha to New, York" said Mr..
Stoffel. All bars are supported
and spaced with Secure slab and
beam supports. More than 100000
inserts were used in hanging the
overhead trackage throughout the
plant. All reinforced concrete work
was designed by theNConcrete Steel

In addition to looking after the
Armour interests in Omaha and in
the midwest. Mr.. Howe was also
entrusted with the investigation oi
packing fields for the Armour in

that of the Armour company in the
United States.
When the National Packing COM
pany was dissolved Mr.. Howe was
given the added responsibility of
appraising the connpany's many ex-
tensive plants. Mr.. Howe is well
known, as one of Omaha's most pub
lie spirited citizens.

rector of the Chamber~ot Commerce,
the Union Stock Yards company,
the Stock Yards National bank, the

New Plant Equipped
With Latest Type Of
Modern Refrigeration

The new Skinner Company pack
ing plant is equipped with the most
modern tefrigerating machinery
procurable, in the opinion of its
beads. Realizing the importance OF
an efficient and practical refrigera-
ton system the company made an
exhaustive investigation of the most
economical method of producing
refrigeration, and decided upon the
high-speed type of ammonia COM
Vfessor, driven by what is known as
the 'Unif1ow' steam engine.
These engines are equipped in
such manner that they can be
operated either condensing or non-
condensing, hence when steam is
needed to heat water it can be pro-
cured from the exhaust of the en-
gines, thus saving much fuel.
The two ammonia ccmpressors,
each of 200 tons refrigeration ca
pacity day. are of the latest type
and are manufactured by the York
Manufacturing company of York,
Pa, whose branch in the west is
located in Omaha. The ammonia
condensers are made of special
weight piping and special ammonia
fittings are used.
The cold storage buildings of the
plant are all insulated with sheet
cork board. All piping used in the
plant is special ammonia pipe
welded by electricity and put ur
with substantial wrought iron
hangers. There is an ice making
plant in connection with the system
where 50 tons of ice can be manu-
featured a day. This ice will be
used Tor car icing principally.

SPRING.

Hail to thee Oh balmy spring!
You are more longed for than a
mighty king.
We have 90 often longed for thee
That we n'er thought that time
would be.
The old north wind will blow no more
And the snow will melt at my door.
For YOU do bring the sun so bright
And drive away those weary notes.
The tender violet soon will bloom
And this no doubt will please old
Groom
For he is such a big fat man
That through the snow he never ran
So while you're here you'd better
stay
And let the children have fun and
play
For they have stayed indoors so long
They can hardly sing a happy song.
