recent bank's closing down, there is
urgent vital need on the part of our
women to leave no stone unturned, to
turn the tide in fp.vor of Plattsmouth. !
Those merchants who suffered in the
disaster, deserve your support, and an
extra effort on the part of us all to
pr.y back bills, and keep up a bold
happy front.
We are proud to know that hun
dreds of Plattsmouth wamen are mak
ing an earnest, honest effort to sup
port the chamber of commerce in its
plea for support of home industries,
and home merchants. It is not enough
to try once, sigh, and give up. It
means try and try again with the
hard grit, patience and bravery ol
our men who in business here have
met greater obstacles with a smile,
than having to unfortunately, get a
loaf of bread that does not suit them;
they do not sigh, grumble and quit
they buckle up their belts tighter,
and go on with the fight, and on, and
on, and on. God bless their courag
eous hearts!
It is an inspiration to read of the
great noble women, who have gone
into the frontiers with their hus
bands, bravely, cheerfully, and held
up their hands, while they slaved and
hewan out success against seeming
impossible obstacles. This same spirit
of playing a sporting chance, being
the man's right arm, in his struggle
in the business world. Here in Platts
mouth it would expand our business
and build Plattsmouth. This same
spirit of being the right hand of
Plattsmouth is what we mean.
All frontier life is not dead! Our
merchants and bakeries, today are
making the fight of their lives against
the wolves of out-side competition,,
and who can save the day for them?
Our good splendid women!
