Tht L. C. Smith & Bros. baJJ-btaring tyhswritsr A Frank Talk on Typewriters Somehow, the impression has gained ground that there isn’t much difference between the various makes of typewriters on the market You may think the same thing. It would take a good, found, logical argument to convince you that all typewriters do not have the same efficiency and that a stenographer cannot secure the same results on every machine. We are ready to make that argument and to show you by actual demonstration that ' The L C Smith & Bros. Typewriter will do more work, better work, with less fatigue to the stenographer, than any writing machine ever made. How is this possible ? Here are a few reasons: 1. It is ball bearing throughout—others are not. 2. All operations are controlled from the keyboard. 3. It is the lightest touch_machine made. 4. It does not “smut” the”carbon. 5. The ribbon reverses automatically. 6. The type is so protected that it is not battered by collision. 7. One motion of the hand returns the carriage and operates the line space. 8. It has an inbuilt biller and tabulator. . 9. No trouble to write on paper as small as a post* age stamp. 19. It is built for service.

The road drag keeps the weeds down and this alone would pay for all the road draging that is done in the year, for these same weeds, if left to grow, will have to be cut and hauled off or burned before you can use the grader. After thi$ the roots gather on the blade of the grader and it takes time to free it of the trash, and time is money when you have four or six teams working on the grader. The wear and tear on your buggy or wagon in passing over the rough roads, alone would almost pay for the extra ex pense in dragging them. We do not know how much one should drag in a day, but it seems like five miles per day could be done if full days were putin. Just drive out to the west bridge and see the condition of the road all the way. It is a disgrace to any town. It could be fixed in fairly good condition in one day’s work with the grader and after this grading the road drag should be put on it after every rain. What this piece of road needs to fix it for years to come, is two or three days work with the grader getting the sod from the sides to the center, making deep ditches on each side of the road with a gradual slope all the way to the center of the road. We do not know where the Commercial Club could do more for Loup City than to see that this piece of road was fixed and fixed right.
