The Department Store of the Building Industry Plattsmouth Lumber Company HORSES HAVE HORSE SENSE The more unsettled the na tional and international pictures become, the more you hope and pray our leaders will have just good old "horse sense." And some days it seems as if the only ones who have it are the horses! HORSE SENSE IS GOOD SENSE There's no point in losing faith in your own horse sense, however. The more you exercise it, the sharp er it becomes. And one way of exercising it is by trad ing with people you know . . . people you know will be here for years, and years to come. ' GOOD SENSE IS NOT EXPENSIVE When you build you know it's good sense to build for permanence. That's the way we've been building our business for 30 years, and that's why we urge you to use the best that 4s available. IT PAYS TO BUY FROM PEOPLE YOU KNOW That's why you don't have to make a complete study of the building supply trade to buy wisely, f6r your construction or re modeling. You cant rely on our years of experience and our plan for permanence to assure you of "value received." THAT'S GOOD HORSE SENSE, ISN'T IT?
