The Commercial Club held its regu

evening. There are a number of busi

closed so that the merchants could go,
but. they were not there. Do you know
why Plattsmouth does not accomplish
greater thing9? It is because of just
such indifference, as was shown by
most of those who were absent from

association reported that nothing had
been accomplished toward an enter

this year, and the president of the club
was authorized to appoint a program
committee of five.
The band committee reported that it
hired a band for the 5th of July to fur
nish a concert at the Garfield park from

A. L. Tidd then called the attention
of the club to the Olson Photograph

ing business now employing from a
dozen to twenty people. Mr. L. D.
Hiatt was then called for and explained
their enterprise and how it had grown
from a small beginning to iU present '
sibilities.
Mr. Tidd then pointed out to the club
what other cities were doing in the way
of advertising such cities and a motion
to appoint an advertising committee
was adopted. This committee should
have plenty of work to do.
All in all the meeting was a good one
and the progressive are pushing right
along. Push for Plattsmouth is the
slogan.
