As the readers of The Herald are
aware we are always pleased to note
the increase in business of institutions
that employ labor in Alliance. For
this reason it is a pleasure to us to
state that the business of the Alliance
Steam Laundry has increased to such
an extent that it was necessary to put
in four new machines recently. Be
sides doing a large amount of work for
the people of Alliance they have a large
patronage from neighboring towns.
F. L. Potmesil writes us as follows
from Powell, Idaho: "The country
here looks more favorable thi3 year
and values are on the rise. I am look
ing after a lumber yard here and like
the work very much. Regards." We
have been in hopes that Frank would
decide to return to Box Butte county,
but as he is doing so welt in Idaho, we
fear that he will want to stay there
permanently. We wish him success
wherever he may be.
