Mr. Judson cited many .instances where Omaha merchants and wholesale dealers have lost,money simply because Omiha people think that they cannot secure a good irand t>f foodstuffs in their home town. "Omaha made products should by all means Jiold the limelight of the Omaha shoppers, both women and men," he^siald/ **By your- helping 0i£a&-mercbantsand buying Omaha manufactured articles, out of .town people will be attracted to -the city, and in this way. natural local -butfiness will be stimulated. ;The people should co-operate with the Greater Omaha committee, in order to carry but the work successfully. Omaha, besides being a good home industrial center, should in every. sense of the word be a respectable place in which' to live." Prior to Mr. Judson's address, Pro.fessor M. Monheit gave a brief speech on- "The. Jew's Patriotism." The.Y. M. H. A. quartet sang several numbers, and Miss Bertha Greenhous, accompanied by Louis Armstrong on the piano, gave several vocal selections.
