prescribe, that these men, instead of

SOME FACTS
FOR THE PUBLIC
INFORMATION
L. C. SHARP WRITES OUTLINE OF
PROPOSED ACTIVITIES OF
THE NEW PLANT.
A REAL MOTHER PLANT HERE
Not Limited to Any One Line of
Endeavor Machines Can Even ,
Reproduce Themselves.
From Thursday's Daily.
April 16, 19 IS.
People of Plattsmouth:
We are informed that Cne
Hundred Thousand dollars has gone
out of the city and vicinity in the
last ninety days for investment in
outside enterprises. This is the mon
ey that goes out of the community
and into concerns which benefit oth
er cities. We also ascertain that in
the past considerable of such in
vestments have never netted any re
turns whatever to the purchaser of
such stock, and in some cases re
turns were impossible on the face of
it, and such companies are only ex
ploited to follow in the wake of the
now and then immensely profitable
concerns who have based their foun
dation on basic and productive prin
ciples.
Our community is aware that
there is now being offered for sale
in the city, county and throughout
the state and elsewhere the capital
stock of the Auto Power and Malle
able Manufacturing Company,v Jhis
concern having taken over the West
ern Machiire Works, of Plattsmouth,
(L. C. Sharp, owner) an established
manufacturing concern, with the
view of merging both concerns into
a very large and productive plant.
and which works are to be located
in Plattsmouth, the ground already
having been selected for the purpose
and work soon to commence. . The
aims and objects of the Auto Powr
and Malleable Manufacturing com
pany are to manufacture on a large
scale a number of patented articles
of Malleable and otherwise material.
to erect a foundry capable of pro
ducing malleable castings as well
as iron and other metals and alloys,
of which there are at present a great
scarcity; to erect a large manufac
turing plant equipped with the most
efficient machinery for the further
fabrication of such castiugs into fin
ished products and which products
already have a national and export
sale, and are controlled under the
patents of our own company. A few
are represented by our auto power
attachment, a device attachable to
a Ford or other automobile to con
vert such an engine into a useful
power plant by which the farmer or
buyer can instantly have the ure of
immense power for grinding, pump
ing, sawing, hoisting and the innu
merable uses necessary for such
power, including irrigation. Over
3,000 of such devices already have
been sold and many orders are now
on hand.
Our irreversible steering genr for
Fords, which is distributed by the
Sprague Manufacturing Co., of Om
aha, but made by us, has now reach
ed its tenth thousand and it is ex
pected that the sale of this device
will reach half a million or more.
Our safety crank for Fords has now
reached its fifth thousand without
advertising and sales have been made
for export.
Our designing department, which
is under the management of Mr. L.
C. Sharp, is constantly designing
new machinery, only recently having
turned out an automatic butter cut
ting machine having a capacity of
forty thousand pounds of prints per
day, for the Fairmont Creamery, of
Omaha, an edge forming machine for
the Paul Manufacturing Company,
of Iowa, Mr. Paul having been un
able to secure such a machine any
where else in the United States. Mr.
Sharp, whose ability is well known.
revolutionized the tin can business
in the introduction of what is now
identified as the Sanitary can. made
without heat, acid or solder, a. busi
ness now owned by the American
Can company, and sold ail. over the
world, being valued at millions.
The Auto Power and Malleable
Manufacturing company also owns
a number of very valuable patents,
including a new undershmg tractor,
upon which it is estimated that com
paring with other ' concerns, will em
ploy 200 people. The patents of
this company are of the kind that
protect and are of immense value.
All the employees of the Auto
Power and Malleable Manufacturing
company are selected for their fit
ness and are weil paid mechanics
and citizens whom any community
will welcome. Many of these em
ployees will be stockholders of the
company and all interests are sub
served toward the upbuilding of a
profitable industry. The possibili
ties in the basic manufacturing field
of this company are unlimited. We
are a Mother plant from which oth
er factories spring. Our machinery
will produce itself or produce other
machines around which other indus
tries can be built. Our equipment
produces any devicor article, there
fore it is immaterial upon which it
operates. We are not confined to
one article of manufacture such as
a rubber tire, a carburetter, a farm
implement or a sh string, but em
body a basic Mother plant that can
reproduce them 211 when desired.
With this insight into the natu-e
of the factory involved, we are si:r
that the investors in this vicinity
will prefer to purchase a stock rep
resented in a growing and impor
tant institution located rigfit in the
city where every dollar can be
seen and where every brick and ev
ery new employee will be a living
help toward the upbuilding and the
beautifying of our city, as weil as
investing in an enterprise in which
the elements of rik are reduced to
the minimum, an institution whose
products advertise the city all over
the world and whf.se output drav.s
Cither enterprises ''-..u' rely . or. a
Mother plant for their existence.
For instance. the Iowa Malleable
Iron Co.. of Fairfield, drew the
Ixiuden Manufacturing Co. there to
get their malleable castings, as well
as other concerns. Our Malleable
Foundry will do the same. The Rob
ert Demster Mill Co. has made the
town of Beatrice, Nebraska. Hun
dreds of similar instances can be
cited on the same line, which en
terprises have made money for 1.11
concerned.
Plattsmouth has been selected for
the Plant of the AUTO POWER &
Malleable Mfg Co.. for the reason cf
its potential advantage, it 5s the
approximate center of the U. S. A.
New York, San Francisco, Galveston.
Winnipeg and all territory adjacent
are similarly reached in equal time
from Plattsmouth, it is in the midst
of the Agricultural heart of the
Country the railroads are ready to
bring raw material from the four
points, our entire administration oe
partments will consist of the beet
qualified salesmen and heads of de
partments who can and will sell all
the products the present contemplat
ed factory will or can produce.
There is no promotion stock in the
AUTO POWER & MALLEABLE Mfg.
Co., the concern is presented solely
on its merits and only sufficient stock
is offered which will be used for the
purpose of erecting the necessary
building, purchase of real estate for
same, machinery and necessaries
only.
We ask the hearty co-operation of
investors and others in this basic
proposition from which large returns
are expected, the closest investiga
tion is invited and we welcome every.!
one whether prospective investors or
not to call at our plant in Platts
mouth and investigate what has al
ready been done.-
Our sales agents are also glad to
call and see anyone with a view of
more full' explaining the scope of
the Undertaking and the Profits de
rived therefrom.
Yours faithfully..
L. C. SHARPE.
