Eastern Branch of Maytag Company
Sets a World Record in
Merchandising.
The Eastern Branch (headquarters
in Philadelphia) of the Maytag com
pany of Newton. Iowa, has set a
world's record in merchandising.
This branch has just received the
largest individual shipment of mer
chandise every known. Five solid
trainlcads. 130 carloads. More than
11.00 0 Mavtag Aluminum washers
valued at $2,000,000.00.
This great shipment w.ia routed
over five different railroads in order
to insure rapid delivery. These five
special trains identified by poster?
and banners were given clear right
of way over the various roads and
were met at vcriou3 points along the
route by prominent men and city
officials.
It i3 stated ty members of the
sales organization of the Eastern
Branch that every washer in this
mammoth shipment will be disposed
of in less than thirty days.
Trainload shipments of Maytag
washers have not been uncommon the
last few months. Three trainload?
have been sent into California. Three
trainload into the Pacific Northwest
and a trainload into Western Pennsy
lvania. The daily production of Mpytag
washers at the factory has already
reached the astounding figure of
1230. This number will soon be in
creased by three or four hundred a
day upon the completion of addition
al factory buildings now under con
struction. Among these buildings is
a new aluminum foundry, credited
with being one of the largest alum
inum factories In the world.
Sales of the Maytag washer have
shown a very decided increase, par
ticularly during the last few years.
With sales of but $1,000,000.00 in
1920 the total sales of last year
reached the $35,000,000.00 mark.
During the first eight months of the
present year an increase of more than
60 per cent has been reached which
should bring the total sales for 1926
well above the $50,000,000.00 mark.
The Maytag company builds but
one products the Maytag Aluminum
washer and was founded more than
thirty years ago by F. L. Maytag, the
present chairman of the board of
directors.
The firm of Bestor & Swatek of
this city are the representatives of
this line of machines in this city.

Chicken Stealing
is More Frequent
Attorney General Says Wave of Chic
ken and Hog tSealing Keeping
Officers Busy.
During the hearing of the pardon
board at the state penitentiary Tues
day morning Attorney General Spill -man
questioned with considerable in
terest an applicant for clemency who
had been convicted of chicken steal
ing in northern Nebraska. The charge
was made that the young man had
been the tool of others and had been
influenced to commit the crime. W.
H. O'Gara, who appeared in behalf
of the applicant, said that chicken
stealing and like crimes had become
so prevalent in Cedar county a few
years ago that it was necessary to
organize an association for the main
tenance of law and order.
The attorney general said that a
wave of chicken stealing was pass
ing over Nebraska: that officers in
many counties were kept busy trying
to trace such crimes and that he
would welcome any information from
any source that would aid in the
enforcement of the law against
chicken stealing.
Chicken and hog thefts have
caused such heavy losses to Nebras
ka farmers that special legislation
to cover these crimes has been en
acted. In eighteen cases heard by the
board Tuesday there were five for
gery charges, two charges of hog
stealing and two charges of chicken
stealing. In recent hearings before
the board forgery has had the lead
over all other complaints.
The law in relation to hog and
chicken stealing is as follows:
"Whoever steals any sow, barrow
boar or pig of any value, or receives
or buys any sow, barrow, boar, stag
or pig that shall have been stolen,
knowing the same to have been stol
en, with intent by such thief, know
ing him to be such, fraud the owner,
or conceals any sow, barrow, boar
or pig, knowing the same to have
been stolen, shall be imprisoned in
the penitentiary not more than five
nor less than one year and shall pay
the costs of prosecution.
"Whosoever steals any chickens,
ducks, turkeys, geese, pigeons or
guineas of any value or receives or
buys any chickens, ducks, turkeys,
geese, pigeons or guineas, that shall
have been stolen, knowing the same
to have been stolen, with Intent,
by such receiving or buying to de
fraud the owner; or conceals a poul
try or pigeon thief, knowing him to
be such; or conceals any chickens,
ducks, turkeys, geese, pigeons or
guineas, knowing the same to have
been stolen, shall be imprisoned in
the state penitentiary for not less
than ten days nor more than six
months or in the state penitentiary
for not more than three years nor less
than one year."
