BOOSTING PIATTSMOTJTH
The L. C. Sharp Manufacturing
company made a sale Saturday of one
of its hydraulic ice cream cone mak
ing machines to Mr. Kelly Nussral-
lah, of Johnstown. Pa. The machine,
however, is to be placed in Omaha
and soon followed by one more.
These fnaehines operate by city
water pressure and have a capacity
of thirty thousand cones per ten
hours. They are the most ingenious
and productive machine ever con
structed for the purpose, making
cones absolutely without waste of
any kind. Mr. Nussrallah also op
erttos a large cone factory in Johns
town, Pa.
A recent shipment of another of
these machines was sent to Ottawa.
Canada, and another one of special
nature is now under way for the In
ternational Wafer company, of Man
chester, England, being the second
Plattsmouth-made machine for that
company.
Thi3 is a class of work that means
a whole lot to Plattsmouth not only

There are so many ways in which a
checking account can be both a time-saver
and a convenience to women who take
care of the household bills.
Yet, in many instances where th
family has a checking: account, it is in
the husband's name only.
Why not a checking account at the
disposal of both husband and wife? We
will gladly arrange for a joint account or
separate accounts, as may be preferred,
at any time.
