BY NAME!
Not one man in 25 is able to judge a suit of
clothes by its looks, its weight, feel or color.
The only dependable way to be sure of gel
ting your jncney's v orth is to buy clothes
by name. And of a dealer who is on the
job day in and day oat, year after year, ready
to stand back of his merchandise. And he
does it, or he can't stay in business. The
name of Kuppenhcimer in a suit of clothes
represents a half century of reliable and
conscientious effort to build clothes of per
formance. The so called half price suits, "From Factory
to You," are in most cases expensive suits
to own. Hacksaws and hammers make nice
buildings, but Ihey don't make a suit to fit.

elected as tho captain of the com
pany and the tender of the troops
made to the governor of the terri
tory, Alvin Saunders.
It was not until May 18, 1861,
that the formal call was made for
volunteers by the governor of the
territory in compliance with the call
of President Lincoln and in recog
nition of their early action the
Plattsmouth company was designat
ed as Co. A, 1st Nebraska infantry.
The company was held in readiness
from the date of its first organiza
tion and drilled largely by the ef
forts or Captain Livingston and it
was not until June 11, 1861, that
they were mustered into the service
of the state and nation.
The company entered active ser
vice in the Missouri campaign of the
fall of 18G1 and served there with
distinction and later participated in
the Tennessee campaign with bat
tles at Fort McHenry, Pittsburg
Landing, where they served as a part
of the brigade of General Lew Wal
lace and later at Corinth. The regi
ment was then transferred to the
Arkansas territory and Col. Living
ston promoted to the office of com
mander of the department of north
ern Arkansas.
The regiment was mustered out of
service in July. 1865, and the mem
bers of Co. A allowed to return home.
Of the membership of Co. A there

LEAVES FOR IOWA
Suggestion Bears Fruit
Our suggestion last week of Platts
mouth night at Station WOAW has
met with encouragement on every
hand. The matter will be laid before
the Chamber of Commerce and they
are expected to arrange the program
given under their auspices and pro
vide transportation for the artists to
and from Omaha on the night it is
given, several weeks hence. There is
a lot of good talent here that can be
rounded up for such an event and
we can safely say Plattsmouth would
be able to hold her own in contest
with any outlying town in the state
for the honor of being first to pro
vide a community program from the
powerful new Woodmen station that
is being heard all over the country.
