Having been fortunate enough to secure the agency for the Blau-Gass, we
are going to reduce our immense Hardware Stock and evenually close it out entirely, retaining only the
Heating and Plumbing end. In order to accomplish this quickly we are making the prices quoted in this
advertisement. This sale will coutinue uniil we find a buyer for our stock and will give you an opportu
nity to get goods at less prices than they were ever offered in Plattsmouth before.
It is impossible to itemize prices on every item, as it would take over a month to go through and ite
mize everything separate. We wish to state that outside of heating and plumbing material we are not
holding back anything, but will discount every article, as we are positively going out of the hardware end
ot our business. With the new line that we have taken it will take all the time we have to give it proper
attention, and if there anything you need in the hardware line you would do well to look over our stock.
We are going to advertise our stock for sale in the leading papers and very likely will have a buyer for
the entire stock in a very short time, so if there is anything you need it would be well to get it at once.

Good Road Maxims.
Good roads will increase the
trading radius of any town or
city.
Had roads cost more than good
roads.
Surfacing has been receiving
too much attention at the expense
of drainage.
The most expensive way is
often the cheapest in the end.
Maintenance of roads is as im
portant as their construction and
is not enough discussed. The
most expensive transportation of
farm products is from the farm
to the railroad station.
Good intentions are said to pave
roads only in a region where no
body wants to use them.
Good hard roads are the only
sure foundation upon which the
cheaper transportation can stand.
Study conditions and build your
road suitable to the trafflc with
due regard to the probable main
tenance. Good roads help business,
stimulate trade, put money in
circulation and increase values.
Good roads will create a hap
pier condition of Ihe people and
amke this an ideal country to
live in.
