GOULD PLATTS
MOUTH FILL THE
GAP IN ROAD?
THE GOVERNMENT IS GOING TO
PUT GOOD ROAD FROM OMA
HA TO FORT CROOK.
Fre'in Tuesday's Jlaily.
With the advent of the building of
a paved roadway from Omaha to Ft.
Crook, there will be an excellent op
portunity for the building of the
road from Ft. Crook to Plattsmouth,
that the matter of being in connec
tion with Omaha on a road which
would make it possible to haul loads
and to travel at any time from that
city to this. There is a move on
foot to establish such roads Irom
Omaha to other cities, and in the
most of the places jt will be much
more difficult as there is more dis
tance for them to bnild the road.
Nov.- then from the Missouri Pacific
railwav station here, to the terminus
at Fort Crook, is about eight anil a
half miles. There is much agitation
in this matter at the present time
and what will be done, no one knows
but certain it is that the mailer of
the interurban motor truck traffic as
well as the pleasure, car travel is
growing daily, and with the conges
tion of traffic, the scarcity of cars.
it makes it very important that some
thing be done to get the shipments
out to the smaller towns on time
and also to get the shipments from
the country to the cities. The Omaha
Chamber of Commerce Journal has
the following to say about the mat
ter:
A great deal of interest has al
ready been manifested in the work
the Industrial Bureau is about to un
dertake with a view to assisting the
interurban auto truck business in
what is known as the "Return Letad"
organization. Cross country or in
terurban hauling by auto truck is
growing at a surprising rate, and
;teps have already been taken by
the Industrial Committee te formu
late some sort of organization which
will enable both -the firm or the mer
chant having geods to haul and the
man with the truck to get in touch
with each other, and if possible fur
nish loads both ways. In ca-ce the
business warrants it a plan may be
adopted by which those having good3
they wish to send to Blair. Tekaniah.
Fremont. Ashland, Plattsmouth or
any other town within a radius of
fifty miles, may report to a ceutral
ofticv in Omaha, where the auto
truck drivers can also call in this
way get in touch with the "Return
Load." The smaller towns will, of
course, in time organize along the
same line and the business may, as it
has in the east and in California,
develop into a great and growing
volume when the roads are improved
and maintained in better condition
than they are at present. There is
undoubtedly a large amount of the
lighter freight and produce that can
be moved from town to city and vice
versa more expeditiously by auto
truck than by rail. Omaha Chamber

THE ONLY REAL ECOROIVSY ECONOMY
THAT "PROVES OUT"
There are two kinds of ecen

other is real economy.
One looks mainly to first
cost; the other looks mainly
to final results.
One makes you think you
have practiced buying economy
when you pay the first cost ef
an implement; the other inake-s
you know you practiced Inly
ing economy when you count
the profits that the use of an
implement has paid you.
One is usually false economy;
the other is always the kind of
economy that pays.
We offer you the real econ
