of by-products such as vinegar.

When the whole plant is in opera
ton it will employ several hundred

finest additions made in long time
to Omaha's industrial life.
Among those interested in the
new enterprise are w. T. Graham,
Harry A. Tukey, w. E. Foshier and
the Metz brothers of Omaha; Paul

]. P. Norton of Tulsa, Okl.
]. M. Gillian. manager of the
Chamber of Commerce industrial
bureau, has been working for sew
eral years to get plant of this kind
established in here.
Only Plant in West.
Omaha is considered an ideal
place for a corn products plant.
This will be the only plant of its
kind west Of the, Mississippi river,
and it is thought the demand in this
section will consume the entire sup
ply of the plant.
1T is very interesting to note"
said Harry A. Tukey, that a bushel
of corn, under new process which
the company will use, will produce
81 pounds Of starch, Is pounds of
gluten feed, II pounds of corn oil.
The 81 pounds of starch, after it
has passed on to the refinery, will
produce SO pounds of corn sugar,
10 per cent moisture or 40 pounds
of glucose, 20 per cent moisture.
Glucose and corn sugar are used ex-
tensively by the candy, tobacco and
Jelly and jam manufacturers"
