opened up a machine shop in tho ce
ment block building at tho corner of
Front and Ash Streets. Somo timo ago
they ordered their machinery but It
has only just been put in' placo and

resident of North Platto for a number
of years having been with tho Union
Pacific and tho Davis Garage. Edward
Jias been employed in tho railroad
machine, shops in California until re
cently when ho gave up his placo
there and came to North Platto.
The now firm Is equipped to do all
kinds of heavy machino work and

special attention to tractor and truck
repairing. Machinery suitable to this
work has been put in placo and it is

ing tools and a forge Is being built

parts had to be shipped from tho
factory. Now these parts can bo made
here fn most cases and much timo and
money saved.
Tho company is prepared to expand
rs the business grows and .when the
people of western Nebraska realize
that they do not have to send east or
west- for heavy machino work, the
business will grow and it will moan
much to North Platte.
