HARDWARE SPLENDID WAY TO INCREASE THE TRADE HERE Why Not Have the City Try the Experiment of a Free Day on the Platte River Cridge? In the spring program of im provements ami enterprises cal culated to ait the growth ami de velopment of the city and its future from a commercial stand point, there are several very strong features that have been advanced that should, if possible, be adopted to aid in the bringing of new trade into ttu city and to assist in the development of the business life of th; city, and among the one of the strongest is that of having1 free days over the Missouri river ferry and also on the Platte river automobile and wagon bridge. North of the Platte river in Sarpy county lies a territory that should come to this city to do their trading and would be clad to do so if the proper inducement was extended to them, and the merchants of the city should get trcrether and arrange to provide free passage over the bridge at least once a week to those farm ers on the north side of the river who might desire to do their trad ing here, and a few experiments You Can Now Buy Original Luther Burbank Seeds Here We have secured the exclusive selling rights of Luther Burbank original seeds for Plattsmouth, hav ing been appointed the special representatives of THE LUTHER BURBANK CO, San Francisco, sole distributors of Luther Burbank's original productions To tell you of the seeming miracles wrought by the hand and brain of Lu ther Burbank, and their history would require many large sized books. You now have the opportunity of bringing the great Burbank genius right into your own garden. It has always been his desire to share with the world the results of his years of creative effort, and the opportunity is now offered you to enjoy the fruits of his labor to grow the extraordinary flowers that he has been years in creating to have a gar den that you and your friends will ad mire constantly. With Every $1.00 Purchase we will give you a copy of "The Culture of Flowers, Fruits and Vegetables" written by Luther Burbank, himself. H. ML SOENNICHSEN "The Daylight Store" ...... . ... Plattsmouth, Nebraska J u j j ssortment of Each Variety F. EASTWOOD (Plattsmouth) of the free day on the bridge would be a revelation to those who have doubts as to the value of the amount of trade that could be secured from Sarpy county and which now goes to Fort Crook and South Omaha, because they have never had any inducement offered to them to seek the metropolis of Cass county to do their trading. Only last spring one of the farm ers from that section made a trip to South Omaha to price a quantity of clover seed, and it not being satisfactory he decided to call on the dealers here to see what he roulj secure tho seed for and was surprised to find the price considerably lower, and while here he also purchased a range for his wife at a cost of some J?G less than the price asked for one in the South Omaha mar ket, and he returned home with his eyes open as to the oppor tunities offered to the careful buyer in the Plattsmouth stores. All that is necessary is to bring the people here and the value of the goods sold here and their prices will at once impress itself upon the visitors anil result in a steady customer for the mer chants. For the free days the business men should send out their coupons to the residents on the north side of the river and when they arrive here give them a royal welcome and show them the values they can receive here for their money.
