Just as 1943 ended, arrange ments were completed by Man ager Richard W. Black of Store No. 24, Plattsmouth, Nebr., to obtain lists of all new residents in the area. ThU3 in the future the office will send letters to i families who move to Platts- mGUth entitling them to gifts of merchandise and inviting then to trade at Store 24. This is expeted to swell the program considerably in th? new year, since Plattsmouth is proving popular with service men who are arriving at the new Strategic Air Command headquarters at Otiutt Field and are finding homes for their families in the nearby town. During the past year the wel come service, which originally had operated only in Omaha, was expanded to include Store No. 37, Columbus, Nebr.; Store No. 33.
