ANOTHER TOUCH OF WINTER
From Tiesday's Daily
A four inch snowfall starting at
an early hour this morning, laid a
mantle of white over the entire com
munity, but aided rather than inter
fered with the travel, the snow cov
ering the ice and rough roads that
have existed for the past few days
when the melting snow of the big
storm a week ago, turned to ice. The
streets in the city were especially
helped by the snow. The large amount
of snow has been a real problem in
eetting rid of. the city not being in
a position financially to have the
enow hauled off the streets as it
should be.
The snow is reported as general in
eastern and central Nebraska. In,
several places farther south sleet was
reported as well as snow.

With farm prices demoralized and
the farmers' buying power cut one
half to two-thirds in the past few
years, the crying need of cities, towns
and villages throughout the west is
for "bigger and better" payroll.
Omaha has felt. this need, and the
smallest hamlet in Nebraska has felt
it. So it is Tiot strange that' Platts
mouth be faced with a like problem
When the farm dollar was the stand
ard of txcharge many communities
were content to rifle the crest of the
wave and enjoy the prosperity they
little sought to analyze, forgetting
the equally important phase of the
good times, the steady employment of
home labor.
hen farm prices started down
the toboggan and reduced buying
power focused attention on emplov
ment, the payroll need came forward
in' logical manner and cities like Om
aha spent weeks in newspaper and
radio educational campaigns to im
press upon the people the importance
of buying Omaha made goods so that
Omahans could be kept at work and
money retained in the community.
The same thing that is true of
Omaha is likewise true of Platts
mouth and the plan of the Industries
committee of the Chamber of Com
merce to bring this fact pertinently
before the people of our community
through a series of advertisements is
most commendable.
May Attract New Industries
Tomorrow, in Chicago, w ill be held
a conference of business executives on
the outcome of which hinges the mat
ter of locating a real worth-while in
dustry in our midst one that will
give 3ear-'round employment to quite
a number of people and seasonable
employment to a large group. The
Industries committee has worked on
this matter for a year and. now that
it sees-almost certain success ahead.
its thoughts turn to the kind of sup
port we are giving the industries al
ready in our midst whether we are
lending our aid and encouragement
to tneir growth ana prosperity or
being content to let them struggle
along as best they can!
Upon the answer to this depends in
no small measure the growth of our
community.
Our greatest payroll is that of the
BREX shops, and while they have
nothing to sell, our co-operation and
good-will can help to bring about
their further expansion.
We have other smaller industries
however, which it is within our pow
er to make larger by our patronage.
Here they are:
BREAD Wentworth Bakery and
Zondler Bakery.
BUTTER Farmers Co-Operative
Creamery and Hoffman's Home
Dairy.
FLOUR Heisel Flour Mills.
CIGARS John Eajeck. manufac
turer "Acorn" cigar.
BROOMS James Rebal.
TIRE TOOL Jiffy Tire Tool Co.,
Charles Vallery. manager.
BASKETS Nebraska Basket Co.,
Hiatt & Slayman. Owners.
PRINTING Plattsmouth Journal, j
Although little has been said con
cerning the latter industry, it might
be informative to some Journal read
ers to know that this industry sup
ports a payroll of eleven and provides
steady year-'round employment to
each of these. Yet, like with other
industries, there is outside printing
being sold to our business and pro
fessional men.
"Bigger and Better Payrolls"
how to get them! Well, If you ask
us. just support tne industries we
now have loyally and the problem
will solve itself.
And certainly, until the farm dol
lar stages a "come back" everyone
will agree that is what we need.
