Till-: body of a Range is practically the life
of a Range. The life of a range depends
on the material from which it is made.
Charcoal Iron by actual test has been proven
to resist rust, heat and crystalization 3Q0 per
cent greater than steel. Majestic Range bodies
are all made of charcoal iron. No other range
in the world is made of this material. It costs
considerably more than steel, but the Majestic
never stands back for cost when it can improve
its range. By comparing the lite of old time
iron nails with the steel nails of today or old
style iron stove pipe and tinware with that of
today, gives you an idea of the lasting qualities
of the Majestic over a steel range. This feat
ure alone adds 300 per cent to the life of a
Majestic. During the last seven years we have
sold over $15,000 worth of Majestic ranges and
in the same length of time we have only sold
$108 worth of repairs for Majesties. When
you consider these ranges have been sold in
Plattsmouth for 16 years it will give you some
idea of their lasting qualities Based on our
sales it means that the repairs aveiaged less
than 10 cents per range per year during this
time, a record which no other range has ever
equaled.

One of the big fall Industries of
this country is that af apple picking.
This year has been an unusually good
one in regard to the apple crop In
this vicinity and the crop is one of the
largest raised here in years. The gen
eral quality of the yield Is good, al
though owing to the heavy crop the
appleB are mostly deficient in size.
The growers report that the trees
are very heavily laden with the fruit,
which has made the general run of
the apples rather undersized. Most
of the fruit, however, has the re
deeming quality of being healthy,
theer being a marked absence of
wormy stuff and the fruit being hard
and solid.
The apple buyers have been busy
In this vicinity for some time past,
the general run of the crop being
Bold on the trees. The price which
has been paid as a rule is 1 cent a
pound, which makes a good Income
to the grower, although it looks
small to the consumer, who has to
buy his apples by the bushel or peck
of the retailer. Most of the apple
raisers who have been consulted over
prospects state that they are satis
fied with the price, as the buyer
takes the entire crop regardless of
size or condition at that price.
The apple industry in this section
is still in a state of incubation, there
not being near the orchards in bear
ing here which the soil and the cli
mate warrants. The orchard re
quires considerable care, of course,
but it amply repays for itself. The
demand for good apples extends the
country over and the market is wid
ening every year, hence the Invasion
of this country by buyers for the
eastern market. As Boon as the apple
is barrelled here there is a demand
for it eaBt, and this demand must be
satisfied. A number of years ago
New York npples found a ready mar
ket In the west and southwest, as
they were practically all that could
be obtained. With the rise of the
orchards in the west and the planting
of the hills of eastern Neebraska and
western Iowa In apples, the business
traveled all over this section in their
line of business and move with the
ripening crop from one place to an
other. They have to be exports In
the work to hold their jobs, and when
a barrel goes out of their hands It has
to live up to the reputation of the
packer. So far as the quality of
the local product Is concerned they
have had little trouble and have
found a very small per cent of the
apples failing to phrs muster as first
class.
of the eastern apple growers has
steadily declined' until now this sec
tion is exporting apples to the east.
This morning there was at one
time five wagons loaded to the top of
the box with large, luscious apples,
standing In front of the room where
the packing is going on. This room
Is the first room east of L. B. Egen
berger's, and here the apples are
taken charge of by the packers, sort
ed out and separated and barrelled.
They are unloaded directly from the
wagon to the tables, where expert ap
ple packers go over them and select
the best of the apples, packing them
Into barrels to themselves, while the
small and undersized apples are bar
relied by themselves as Inferior
grade. In doing this the apples are
graded so that the purchaser knows
Just the size and character of the
fruit which he purchases when he
buys a barrel. The small stock goes
largely to the canneries.
Recently the owners of the Glen
wood canning factory closed a deal
by which their factory is leased for
the sole purpose of canning apples,
that city being in the midst of a rich
and fertile apple country. It would
be a good Idea for the Commercial
club to Investigate the possibilities of
an apple cannery for this city. There
are many orchards in the vicinity al
ready, and with the added impetus of
a good local market for the fruit,
there is no reason to doubt but within
a very short time the number of
trees would be vastly increased. A
good apple canning plant here would
result in a great deal of money be
ing paid out and put in circulation,
as not alone the owners of the orch
ards would profit, but the plant
would give employment to many peo
ple. As it has been found profitable
to buy apples here and pack them, it
certainly would be profitable to can
them right here on the scene of their
produclon.
The gentlemen who are engaged in
tho packing and picking of the fruit
are quiet gentlemen, thoroughly well
versed in the details of their business
and of much experience. They have

The second unveiling of the clock
In the window of C. E. Wescott's
Sons took place yesterday afternoon
promptly on scheduled time at 3
o'clock. As was the case the first
time, there was deep Interest In the
matter, and a great many peoplo
were present to see who the lucky
guesser was on the time. When the
time piece was uncovered It was
found that the clock had stopped at
the hour of 10:45:29. The nearest
number In the Btore at the time was
10:50:02, which had been guessed by
Henry Hesse of this city. Ills ticket
was held by August Hesse, who was
present with It and who claimed the
three green dollars. This contest
has attracted a great deal of Interest,
and Is In line with the energetic ad
vertising of Wescott's. With every
dollar's purchase a guess on the time
is given and every Wednesday after
noon the clock Is unveiled at 3
o'clock. The party In the store at
that hour holding the ticket reading
nearest the time registered on tho
dock dial gets three green one dollar
bills. The next unveiling takes place
next Wednesday afternoon at 3
o'clock, September 22.
