not only been beneficial to Omaha,
but especially so to the men who
made it. Those who stayed at home
thinking that the time was not ripe
for a trip of this kind should get out
and see for themselves that this ter
ritory is not coming back, but is
back. ....-.
Frank Myers, Manager Myers
Brokerage Company: Farmers are
Just getting out from under the ef-
fects of the period of initiation. Crops
are ahead OF the season, although
needing rain in some sections. Di-
versified farming has made failure a
thing of the past in northeast Ne
braska and adjacent territory. Many
herds of cattle and hogs, numerous
fields of alfalfa and many cans Of
cream on station platforms show that
the farmers have faith in their fu-
ture. .
Don T. Lee. Sales Manager Beebe

most significant feature of this trade
trip is the fact that the good old ag-
ricultural states of Nebraska and
Iowa are fast coming back into their
own.
E. R. Deputy. President E. R.
Deputy Company: To me it was

amount OF agricultural and livestock
activity. The promise Of big busi-
ness for the farmer, retailer, jobber
and manufacturer could not be bet
ter.
H. G. Morphy, Secretary, E. E.
Bruce 4 Co: Increasing recognition
Of Omaha as jobbing center was
manifest over the entire journey. Civ

new business buildinge testify to the
continuous, solid, permanent growth.
Personal contact with the business
men reflects a unanimous feeling Of
optimism, and the idea prevails that
the future is decidedly encouraging.
6. E. Jennings, Vice President,
Wright & Wilhelmy Company:
Without exception all our dealers
report business improving. With the
rain which came at a very opportune
time prospects for continued in
crease in business are quite evident.
Collections are better. With good
crop OF both wheat and corn, l really
believe there will be somewhat OF
scramble for merchandise of all
kinds next fall.
Charles Weir, Sales Manager.
United States Rubber Company: The
trip has been revelation to me, es-
pecially in northeast Nebraska and
on the Winner line. Crop conditions
are excellent and genuine optimism
prevails.
