Another Way to Look At It
(Guest editorial from the Pierce County Leader)
mere aoesnt seem to De a man or woman
alive who hasn’t growled at taxes . . . and espe
cially aggravating seem to be those local taxes
. . . the taxes you pay at your own courthouse.
You want lower taxes . . . and above all you
don’t want any higher taxes . . . here is how you
can keep taxes down with some facts you may
have overlooked:
Consider a county employee ... he is elected
to work for the taxpayer and for easy figuring
let’s consider his wages $2,400.00 per year.
Look at it this way . . . that $2,400 may be
the total taxes paid by seven farmers and three
businessmen . . . they all have paid $240 per
year. What happens if the three businessmen
close their doors because business is bad? That
leaves only seven farmers to pay their share and
each farmer must then pay $333.33 instead of only
$240.00 as before the businessmen were forced to
close their doors.
When you spend your dollars in Pierce and
other towns in this county you are helping a bus
iness that is helping you pay local taxes.
Dollars spent in Norfolk, Omaha or Sioux
City never help pay your local taxes. Before you
btiy ft is good business to compare . . . compare
quality . . . compare price . . . compare the man
behind the product. You will be surprised at
how your local Pierce county merchant will give
you a “better deal” when all points are compared.
In addition to a better deal you helped keep
down taxes when you bought at home. Maybe it’s
only a tire, a shirt, a few repairs or some gro
ceries . . . think it over. The out-of-town price
was no less but the tax-portion of your dollar
helped pay wages of someone in Norfolk, Omaha
or Sioux City.
Your patronage locally helps cut your local
tax . . . don’t fool yourself and help pay for a new
school in some far-away town when your young
sters will attend a local school.
Shop at home first ... if it is not handled by
a local merchant that is another story ... but
try locally first because the best bargain of all may
be in your home town.

Be Nylon-Wise In ’55!
“—"■■■I—T" .
Snowed under with Christmas shopping? Buying gifts of nylon.
Lucky the girls who get nylons this year . . . fabrics are lovelier than
ever—more exquisite colors, more dazzling whites, more beautiful de
signs—and, in addition to all this, there’s a new nylon whitener and
brightener that will do a “white Christmas” job for you all through
the new year . . . instant bluing in bright bead form now has a ‘plus
to make “washbowl washing” as successful as washer washing!
So, whether you give or receive frilly, lacy presents of nylon, orlon
or dacron, see to it that they get the good care they deserve. If you give
such gifts, your friends will appreciate these brief laundering hints.
Print, or type, these simple directions on a small card suitable for tuck
ing in a bathroom mirror. Include the card in each gift box . .. and, as
a special plus, maybe you’ll want to include a box of this new nylon
brightener!
Here are the easy directions for those “gift cards”—and for you:
How To Keep Your Nylons Lovely
1. Soak nylons 5 minutes in suds of very hot water and the instant
bluing that comes in bright beads.
2. Suds gently; rinse twice.
Extra Beauty Hints: (You may want to make the card large enough
to include these “beauty cues”—we know you’ll want to make them a
practice in your own nylon care).
Always wash white nylons separately from colors.
Learn to finger-press for the sake of perfection ... this simply means
to pull seams straight, to shake out ruffles, to shape lace edges as you
want them to dry. It is a general "once-over” to do when the garments
are hung to dry—and, if convenient, once during the drying period.

“Approaching O’Neill where
there is more prairie and

ume of dust in the air was
very obvious,” he explained.
