Baum of the Baum Iron Company- ey P > i bas been tnken within the last few days, but sufficient authent information has been obtained from the leading jobbers of the clity to warrant the st nt that thelr number will not be much less than 1,000 during the current year. Many citizens will be surprised to learn that men sold goods on the road for Omaha houses during the last year, but it is a fact, verified by the pay rolls of the local jobbers and manufacturers. Since January 1 upward of a hundred new men have packed their sample cases and started out to sell goods for Omaha firms, and before the year is ended another additional hundred will be employed. This great increase in the already large army of Omaha drummers furnishes posidve proot of the rapid growth of the city's job- | biug and manufacturing interests. The wholesale business of the city for 1900 amounted to $52,905,000; for 1589 the amount was $78,110,000, and for 1888, $66,702,000, These figures do not include the amount of the packing bouse business at South Omaha, which in itself is over $100,000,000 a year The additlon of several very large houses to the Omaha jobbing business and the fact that about 256 per cent mo salesmen are to be put on the road are signs to in- dicate that the total transactions for the current year will amount to nearly $80,000, 000, Several New Houses. Of the new concerns located in this city Auring the last year the Byrne-Hammer Dry Goods company Is one of the most im portant. Thiz house has started out with twenty drummers, who will cover Ne- braska, lowa, Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming and Moutana. The N. Splesberger & Son Co . which moved here from Keokuk, 1a., on the first of the year, has eight travel- ing men, covering territory as far west as the Pacific coast. The Martin-Cott Hat company, another new house, keeps five men hustling for orders in western lowa, southwestern Minnesota, South Dakota, Nebraska, northwestern Missourl, northern Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming and Montana The Continental Olgar company, which moved Into the metropolis from Grand Tsland last June, vmployed three travelers until the first of the year, when the force was increased to five. The Racine Wagon and Carriago company Plow company opened houses in Omaha dur- ing the last year and sent out a large num- ber of salesmen Altogether the new houses will have and the John Deere We cover the territory as far west as the Pacific coast and employed ten traveling men last year. We have added three men to the force for this year. A. T.

Another committee, | composea of John Steele, C. D. Thompson and J. ¥. Carpenter, was named to take charge of the club’s annual election, to be held next Wednesday. A motion carried for the appointment of a committee of seven to consider the local tax levy, but the personuel of the committee was not an- | nouncea | Secretary Utt informed the committee that an Owaha man desired to invest $10,000 | in the glove manufacturing business here and wanted a partner with experience in that line.
