TELLS OF DEATH
OF A FORMER RESI
DENT OF LOUISVILLE
Stranger Brings Word of Passing of
Nick Shns, One Time Eesident
Of This locality.
From Wednesdays Dally.
Late yesterday afternoon a strang
er arrived in this city from the vi
cinity of Amazonia, Missouri, and
brought with him the story of the
death of Nick Shue, one time resi
dent of this vicinity and also of Lou
isville where he had been employed
in the stone quarries and in which
capacity he was also engaged at
Amazonia.
Mr. Shue, who was a bachelor, was
living in his own quarters near the
quarries, the stranger states, and had
at the time two men living with him
and tbese men reported his death one
evening of last week. The authori
ties had the body buried a short time
after it was reported.
From the rather rambling state
ments of the stranger it seems that
Mr. Shue had deeds to several hun
dred acres of land in his possession
and the land it was claimed was in
Nebraska, but after his death the
deeds disappeared and could not be
found and it is a question what coun
ty the land is located.
Word has also been received here
by the Andrew Kaufman family a3
j to the death of this gentleman, he
having formerly boarded with them
while at Cedar Creek. It is desired
I to get the address of a sister of the
, deceased who resides in New York
state and any of the old residents of
the vicinity of Cedar Creek or Louis
ville who might know the address
are requested to get in communica
tion with Miss Marie Kaufman so
that the sister may be notified of the
death. Relative to the land which
it was claimed was owned by Mr.
Shue, it was thought by the members
of the family that if. he had title to
land it must be in the vicinity of
Moorefield, Nebraska, where he had
resided for some time.

Late yesterday afternoon the fu

ily who had been so suddenly strick

Mae S. Morgan and Jess Perry gave
a number of the old and well loved
hymns during the services.
At the close of the funeral service
the body was conveyed to Oak Hill

Advance Announcement
of a New Policy
: Effective September 1, 1923
After 44 years of experience selling clothing in Plattsmouth, under varying con
ditions and circumstances, we have decided to adopt an entirely new plan or
policy in the merchandising of same.
Effective September 1st, 1923, we shall have just three prices in our popu
lar grades of men' s clothing, namely
$3
It will not be necessary any more then for you to enquire, "What are your prices
on suits and overcoats?" because youwill know they are $25, $30 and $35, and
you will also know that whichever one of these three prices you choose, you are
getting the very utmost your dollar will buy this is the natural advantage of a
specialized system.
You may call it the Ford policy if you want to, but at any rate it's a policy that
cuts out overhead, lost motion and scattered effort. It's a policy that is going to
save you money and put clothing on your back for less than you ever bought it
before in Plattsmouth. It means standardized, specialized clothing prices the
shortest possible cut from the manufacturer to the consumer. Briefly, it is all
summed up in this phrase: 'Three prices and no monkey business."
these 3 popular prices we have the Hirsh Wickwire
and other de-luxe lines $40 to $60
