Description
The "Sandbagged City" . . . becomes a synonym for Council Bluffs in news stories carried throughout the world by press services. Many downtown businesses protected fronts with bags of sand. These are piled alongside the old Howard Plastics Co. at 1401 Main St. Thousands of bags were manufactured by this firm.
