Greenwood Bays New Pump The town council as a whole form ed themselves into a committee .for the purpose cf making purchase of a new pump for the city, which is to furnish the water for city use. The members of the board, with the ex ception of Rex Peters, were in Glen wcod, Iowa, where they viewed the action of the pump which that city uses for their water supply system, which is a Peerless. After investigat ing the matter, they were convinced that this type of pump is about as gocd for the purpose as could be se cured anywhere, and so have placed their order for ia pump that will be installed in due time. Received New Bead Machine The county commissioners have purchased a new road machine which will be used on the roads in the vicin ity of Greenwood and will be operated by John E. Stradley, who is an ex perienced road worker and knows all the details of that work. Mr. Strad ley is now familiarizing himself with the working of this new machine, which is slightly different than its predecessor, but one calculated to do the best of work at the least cost per mile. In a short time he will be able to handle it as easily as the old equip ment and get the work done in fine shape. New Machine Demonstrates Worth The new horizontal electric ice cream freezer which has been design ed and is being manufactured by Ed Stradley, was given a try out in the manufacture of ice cream at the store of E. F. Smith and proved even more efficient than had been expected. Mr. Stradley has a number of or ders for these machines as soon as they can be manufactured. He has spent much time in designing the imachine and is giving great care to their manufacture as well. The dem onstration proves that they are all that has been claimed for them, and a demand is expected that will tax manufacturing facilities and require expansion of the plant.
