Wholesale Business of Casper’ Over Six Millions, 1924 Casper has jumped rapidty into the’ forefront in 1924 as a élstribut- ing and jobbing center and today is recognized ¢s the wholesale hub round which the merchandising business of the entire state and western Nebraska revolves. The wholesale business {is Casper's sec- ond largest industry. Total wholesale business done in Casper in 1924, not including -oll well supply houses, amounted to in excess of $6,500,000, according to statistics compiled by the Casper- Wyoming Wholesalers’ association. The ofl well supply houses are not members of this association and their total busin@ss during tho last year is estimated at $12,000,000. Fifteen Concerns in Field. There are 15 exclusive wholesale and. jobbing firms in the city not including the ofl well supply com- pan’es, who employed an fiverege of 83 salesmen on the road during the year just ended. The factory men visiting Casper totailed 720, none of whom would have had occasion to come here had the wholesale busl- ness of Casper been ‘conducted out of Omaha or Denver. Four hundred and twenty persons, many of them heads of families, are ment here in the whole- There are many other concerns which might properly come jer the heading of wholesalers or obbers, including the-packing indus- try, which are not Included in such estimates as have been compiled. Prominent among the firms reach ing out for outside trade and mak- ing an immense success of this ex- pansion are the grocery houses. All have large warehouses carrying complete stocks of the best brands sold in the Rocky Mountain region. The success of these firms and others will continue an increasing major factor in the city’s growth, due to excellent transportation facilities in the form of railroads radiating frqm the hub of Wyo- ming’s commercial center. During the last year national ad- vertised products were marketed through Casper fobbers by the car- load as a result of the co-operation afforded by the judicious use of ‘Tribune advertising, which blankets the territory which these houses serve Business Increase Shown. While the wholesale business in Casper in 1924 showed an increase ot 17% per cent over the previous year the Increase is due not to greater consumption but to more success In making this the Jobbing and distributing center of Wyoming. ‘The great benefits to be derived from this status of affairs is known to the average business’ man. It permits retailers here to get their supplies F, O, B. Casper and to handle many nationally priced ar- ticles at the figure at which they sell in other cities around the country. The element of time is also of most importance. Ono automotive house In Casper {s stocking more than 6,000 items any or all of which may be obtained in a few minutes by a telephone order or a personal call at the company’s place of busi- ness. Retallers in the past were forced to walt anywhere up to 10 days to obtain these same items. Through the Casper-Wyoming ‘Wholesalers’ association, incorpor- ated last November, the wholesale and jobbing business here is being constantly enlarged with the idea of service foremost in the minds of its members. As the city grows end the sur rounding territory becomes mors thickly populated,, the wholesale business will expand to meet the demands.

Casper today has stores of which a much larger city might be, proud and progressive methods of merchandising together with a service first slogan have placed them on a*competitive basis which assures the utmost of value for the purchass Due to an enormous building pro- gram in 1923 which continued well into last year, retall business here witnessed a great expansion in addi- tion of néw firms and tn yolume of business transacted. Reaction from these conditions brought a slacken- ing of demand which been keenly felt In some lines but which, always looking to enterprise and developments,” Cas- per merchants ate weathering in an ojitimistic manner. Outside Business Grows, Retail demand {s by no means confined to residents of Cas- per and the ofl flelds directly tribu tary to,the city. Instead Casper {a serving as a trade center for a wide territory in common with local wholesalers and jobbers, due to easy accessibility by rallroad and high- ways, which radiate in many direc- tlons. Such a trade has been made possible only by carrying large stocks of merchandise, ranging from the complete lines of the depart- ment stores to the specialized lines of the smaller shops. Buyers for Casper stores go direct to New York City and other eastern mar- kets periodically, always selecting and keeping on hand the latest modes in apparel and furnishings of all kinds. Furniture stores at all times are prepared to please and delight their trade with a showing of the exquisite in furnishings to- gether with grades to fit every purse. Each year has witnessed marked progress on the part of most merchants in building up patron- age which 1s rarely disappointed in values or bargains. Conditions Improving. In this connection {t may be seen has forward new here that prosperity for central Wyoming means increased trade for Casper and with reclamation, work going forward, new oll fields being exploit- ed and livestock and agricultural conditions being placed on a more femunerative basis, the volume of trade derived from a radius of 150 miles is due to witness a substan- tlal increase, A trip to Casper for retail pur- chases of the kind ‘that are made daily holds an enjoyable vacation for people from central Wyoming towns. Here they obtain the best of accommodations .in modern hotels, witness good shows and find amusement and recreation in divers pursuits. Aiding and abetting the program of expansion which Casper mer chants should enjoy through out side trade is Tribune advertising, which has been found by mat business men to pay: dividends ins, sales to out-of-town shoppers in ad- dition to carrying trade news of the stores to practically every home in the city, Elizabeth’s Specialty Shop The house of beautiful novelties, laces, millinery, lingerie and imported linens.
