IiICKDAY. JULY 13, 1H2 TEE PLAXTSMOUIH EVENING "JCUMIA1 PAGE TERES D epository Plattsmouth State Installs New Night Depository Device to Care for After Hour De posits That Merchants and Others May Desire Is Ready In line with its well esiabiislied plan of furnishing every needed service, the Plattsmouth State Bank contracted with the O. B. McClintoek Company of.. Min neapolis, to install the very latest type of equipment for the conven ience and safety of local business men who take in cash and checks during the hours of nights, Sundays, and Holidays, when no hank is open to receive the deposit of such "After Hour" receipts. Briefly described, this new ser vice equipment consists of a heavy bronze trimmed Receiver, built into the solid wall of the banking house on the Fifth street side. From this Receiver, or Depository Head, there extends through the building wall to the inside of the bank a Ijeavy steel chute, which connects with a heavy steel safe, located within the workspace of the bank. Each local business man, who could and should use this Depository service, signs a service card with the bank, and is given a heavy, genuine Cowhide, metal studded, zippered depository bag, with pad lock and individual key, as well as a key to the Depository Receiver. At the close of a business jjaj or during Sunday or any Holiday, each of these various business men counts up the Cash and Checks hewl'itten torni- afur has on hand, puts them in his De pository bag, padlocks the bag, and drives by the Bank, unlocks the re ceiver with his individual key, pulls down the receiver, places his locked bag therein, and lets go. Instantly his valuables pass into the heavy steel safe within the bank building. The next banking day, the offi cials of the bank open the Depository Safe, take out the locked hags, each bearing the name and number of its owner, take these locked bags to the j Teller's cage, where each owner i claims his bag, signs a receipt for it. ' The receiving head, connecting chute, and steel safe are all fully jugular meeting in the tlrjrch base protected electrically against bur- ut Wednesday afternoon, at a no clarions attack and every part of ; !,!"t Rataerins. the equipment, excepting the face of the receiver and the door of the safe itself, is cast in heavily rein forced concrete. protection is hooked up to the bank's ni-cif-nt cnmnlcfp bnrffbir alarm system, that provides absolute pro tection against Burglary to every- tbing placed in the vault of this in- stitution. Therefore, any business man using the After Hour Depository j is placing his cash or checks in just as safe a place as if the bankers ,ere j to come down, open their vault, and let him put his valuables away over night, Sunday or holiday.

WABASH By Journal Field Repreaent&tire Receint harvesting and combining of wheat shows a very favorable yield of very good quality grain. The yield runs from 10 to 45 bushels per acre and the test is good, some testing as high as C3 plus. Fred Wendt, when the chaf and dust was blown away after combining and marketing his wheat found the yield had been 35 bushels to the acre and the test 61 pounds to the struck bushel. This, he counts as be ing pretty fair and he is well pleased with the results of his labors. John Wood has been busy hauling wheat from the combine to the ele vator. Mr. Wood has been working on the farm for Ralph Dorr, and finds that all in all the wheat crop and quality of the grain are very good this year. Burton Barden, who has been em ployed at the new defense plant at Mead with the completion of the buildings, has been layed off until such a time as the other new build ings are to be started. During the layoff Mr. BVtrden is at home in Wa bash. Elee Boeck has completed his har vesting and finds his wheat has been very good. He owns a piece that was beaten down by the hail .which only made 32 bushels to the acre, but the portion which the hail missed was even better. All was of good quality. The family of Elmer Johnson of Nebraska City, was visiting at the home of Uncle Wm. Frankline Reese for the day last Sunday. Robert Hensen, who has been busy with his own work, was over to near Avoca last week for a day to assist his son-in-law, Kenneth Baier, with a pressure of work. Eugene Colbert has been harvest ing and delivering his wheat to the Wabash elevator which is now pretty near filled, which makes it difficult to find room for the deliveries as the terminals are also filled. Short on Space at Elevator Like many other places in Nebraska at this time, the Wabash elevator is nearly filled with wheat and other grains. -The cars for shipping are scarce but the matter of finding a point where the cars can be unload ed promptly is the real problem as the terminal elevators are rapidly be ing filled to capacity. So, before cars can be opportioned, it must be known with what facility they can be un loaded and returned for other ship ments. VISIT IN CITY Mrs. Edgar Wescott of Lincoln, is visiting at the country home of her sister and brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Spangler.
