Patton of this city has received the announcement of tne golden wedding anniversary of ber brother -and wife, Mr. and Mrs. I... E. Walker of Springfield, Missouri. The eve at v as observed the first part of i this week and was in the nature of a surprise arranged by the seven children of the couple. Mr. and Mrs. Walker were married at Richmond. Missouri, fifty years ago and spent Ily KI.MKIt .. WEIIR, f. of Pufc. "om. riattsmouth made goods for Platts- mouth consumers! That is the slogan of the Industries committee of the Chamber of Commerce in the interest of creating bigger and better pay rolls here at home giving work to Plattsniouth people, who will become correspondingly larger consumers as their increased salaries permit. The problem of getting Platts- mouth people Plattsniouth minded when it comes to the purchase of things made in Plattsmouth i.s an educational one In its entirety, since most people, once they understand thsy are "cutting their own nosea off" by such practice are ready and willing to co-operate. The experience of one Iowa town. Hamburg, is enlightening, and is giv en in the following article from this week's issue of the Hamburg Repor ter: "The bread war which has been go ing on the past ten days between a bakery in Omaha and one in St. Joe, has resulted in a lot of cheap bread for customers of out of town concerns and the closing of one of our local bakeries, and the possibility of the other one closing up its shop and throwing a few more people out of employment. "For months an Omaha concern has been selling bread and pastry in Ham burg, which reduced the working force of the bakeries, and when the second out-of-town concern attempt ed to enter the field, the company had competition to meet and as a result bread has been selling at about half price. "Saturday night Pinkey's Bakery closed down, and Mr. Bronson states that he does not know whether he will be able to open his shop again. Louie Jensen is continuing his bake shop for the present at least, and says he will be governed by the de mand of the people. Both firms are heavy tax payers, have always taken an active part in the civic affairs of the town, and employ considerable help. Should conditions continue as at present these men will lose their investment in equipment, cease to em ploy Hamburg help and reduce ma terially the amount' of taxes which they pay, which n turn will of neces sity be spread, among the remaining tax payers of the town and commun ity. "This is a condition confronted by many towns and is being met in var ious ways. Fcr years country mer chants have been in competition with various house to house canvassers, es pecially in the tea and coffee, silk hose and similar lines, part cf whom The merchant naturally handles the bread his customers demand. If the housewives of Plattsmouth will demand Plattsmouth made bread, these bakers would soon put on more help to take care of the increased de mand and, no doubt, add more equip ment. It is in your hands, what do you say?

"Hamburg is no different than hun dreds of towns of its size all over the country, and if the people prefer to trade with strangers, who take all the money out of town and contribute nothing to the town and community, aside from a small license fee, then they can expect their towns to dwin dle in size and importance, and in many instances get clown to an oil station and sandwich shop." How long has it been since you have tried a loaf of Plattsmouth- made bread, Mr. Confirmed Omaha Bread Eater? For your benefit, let us say there are two home bakeries mak ing a fine quality of bread and If you would give them united support it would be easy to figure how many more men could be put to work turn ing out bread right here at home. Or do you want the same thing to happen here that is happening at Hamburg, Iowa? Legislation and the setting up of a high tariff wall will not prevent people from demanding foreign made goods, neither will efforts to keep the outside bread trucks from delivering their goods here attain the result that housewives could bring about by realizing the possibilities of Increased employment home consumption mean in the case of this and all the other lines of goods produced in Platts mouth, followed by the putting into practice of the buy-at-home plan. Try a loaf of Plattsmouth-made bread, as it is now being produced by cur two up-to-date bakeries, and If you don't agree it is as good as the imported product, then there Is some excuse for continuing to buy outside bread. We believe, however, if the wrappers were removed and an hon est test made, the preference would be in favor of the home made bread. and that being the case, it would cer tainly behoove every local purchaser of thi3 commodity to favor the home producer. The solution or this problem lies almost wholly with the housewives of Plattsmouth. While the man may be the bread-winner, the housewife la the bread dispenser, and she can make or break" our local bakeries. lb C2 High fashions, every one! And WHAT fashions!
