Rare register donated to museum

Wednesday, November 28, 2007

Doris Walters, Jennifer Sowers, Jon Sowers, Marilyn Landers and Nancy Marshall stand before the donated historic "National" cash register.

Jon and Jennifer Sowers, owners of the Dusty Rose Inn, recently donated a nickel plated circa 1900 "National" cash register to the Mountain Home Museum.

"We were told it has always been in a Mountain Home barber shop," said Jon Sowers, "and we felt it would be a fantastic piece for the museum so everyone can enjoy it."

The register is in working condition and will be used for purchases in the museum Gift Shoppe.

"Please ring the $1 key and add your donation to help preserve Mountain Home history -- it's fun," said Jennifer Sowers.

I could be mistaken but I belive that Susan Olson had this register in her barber shop beside Stokers Jewelers some years back. The shop was called Custom Cuts.
