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?
(Note Outside insurance agents
are coming in here daily to solicit
business (even getting considerable)
despite the fact that Plattsmouth has
a goodly; number of reliable home in
surance agencies, and in an article
in a near future we shall attempt to
point out the great advantage of buy
ing your insurance at home.)

collected or the itinerant agent picked
up by the police to face charges of
violating the occupation tax ordin
ance. "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

many instances get clown to an oil

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.
