THE ALLIANCE HERALD, FRIDAY, APRIL 2, 1920. AN OLD-TIME ALLIANCE VIEW The above view was taken In the garage run by Jan. Kecler, lorated where the Schalfor battery station now lands on EaRt Third street. It was in 1908 when motor cars were In their Infancy and when a one-lunger end a two-lunger were Just the thing. The first two cars shown are a one-cylinder and a two-cylinder Reo Third car Is Doc Copsey's first Lambert. Fourth car Is nlo a Lambert and the last one was a big six-cylinder car called the Klckctts. This big car was seemingly ahead of Ite time In thoHe days and Ir.oked upon with aw' and wonder by the denlteus of this little village. Mrs. Kecler occupies the first Reo In the picture, her daugh ter, now Mrs. Schaffer, and a girl friend were at the wheel in the second Reo, and Keeler himself was holding the lines In Copsey's car when this snap was taken. The sign hanging on the wall was painted by Bill Rumor and shows the skill of a real artist. Ed Henry, Link Low 17 and Dill Rumer were among the first who owned two-cylinder Reo cars In those days, and Rumer says he never drove a better car in hla life. A glance at those old-time models shown In this picture and a look at the latest type six-cylinder Reo like The Herald is giving way for Us capital prize, shows a long step In the way of body-line Improvement and mechanical excellence Mr. Keeler Is quite proud of this picture and regards It as a relic of those good old days when motor care were considered more or less as an experiment.

INDEPENDENT PLANTS HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL What has been the history of pack' ing plants In other towns than Al liance really independent plants, not affiliated in any way with the so called "big five," and not owned by families nor by close corporations? Have plants of this variety been sue cessful elsewhere, and are they re garded by the respective towns In which they are located as distinct assets to the community? The Uiance chamber of commerce undertook to secure an answer to. these questions. Letters of inquiry were sent out to various chambers of commerce throughout the coun try, in towns in which such plants are located, and these direct queries were put before the secretaries. Most of the replies have raehd Al liane, and, to the extent of almost a unanimous chorus, they say "Yes" to the two principal questions which were propounded. The operation of these plants has been successful, and they are regarded as distinct assets to their towns. Occasionally the answer has been, "Plant not In operation long enough to give an opinion," or words to that effect. In two or three cases it was said that at first there was lack of proper management, but that there has been a change In management ar-4 present prospects are assuring. These are, however, the exceptions a' me the replies. Broadly speak ins they indicate unmistakably the fact that independent promoted pack ing plants in the United States have been uniformly successful ana hare meant much both for their stock holders and the communities In which they are located. This paper will support Senator Good for renomlnatlon, because we believe he can do the district more good than any man we could send to the senate. Chadron Journal.
