THERE'S a treat in
store for you if
you have not met Big
Ben. You may have
read 'his Ads in the big
magazines, but'. these are
npt half strong enough.
I don't think they begin
to do him justice.
In fact, no Ad can, so I
won't attempt to write one
about him. This announce
ment is simply an invitation
for you to walk by my
store and meet him.

George T. Field Passes Away.
George Thorton Field, ono of North
Platto's most prominent business men
and well known citizens, died at his
homb in this city at 2:15 this morning,
following an illness that hod confined
him to his room since November 7th.
Death was due to organic trouble-
principally affection of the liver with
which he had been troubled moro "or
less for two years and for which ho
had taken treatment at Excelsior
Springs and elsewhere.
Mr. Field came to North Platte from
Chicago in 1886 and opened a loan and
real estate office, and two years later
purchased the North Platte Lumber
Co. yards and of which he retained
possession up to the time of his death.
He was alsb for years owner of the
North Platte Telephone Co., being one
of .the originators of tb system and
later purchasing the interest held by
0. . Sizcmore. As a business man
he was progressive; as a citizen he was
an enthusiastic supportor of everything
that would' tend to advance the mater
ial interests of the town; as a man he
was kind and charitable, yet very pro
nounced in his opinions. There was no
doubt as to where George Field stood
on any proposition, there was no half
hearted support or opposition, he was
either for or against with all his en
ergy. By reason of this honesty of
purpose ho was admired by nil, and
the acquaintances ho made became
firm friends. North Platte can ill-afford
to lose a citizen such as George Field.
To the wife the sympathy of our
people is extended in the loss of one
who for more than fifteen years had
proven a most generous, thoughtful
and loving husband.
Funeral services will bo held at the
residence at two o'clock tomorrow
afternoon, and later in the dny the re
mains will be taken to Chicago for Interment.

Mb. Editob- With your permission
I wnnt to say a fow words to tho pco
plo of North Platto nnd vicinity through
the coulmns of Tho Tribune. For some
time past I have had this in mind but
have thought that perhaps- someone
bettor informed orjnoro ablqto present
it than I, would do so, but BCannlng the
homo papers daily for even a scratch
from a North Platto merchant and
finding none, I feel it my duty to let,
oar people know that I am hero in bus
iness, not only that, but also that I
appreciate tho patronago teat I have
received at your hands during tho.niajiy
years that I have been deponding ori
you our homo pcoplo and I want to
thank you all and wish you a prosperous
year during 1912, I respectfully solicit
n continuance of the same. I realize
the fact that thero are n good many
dollars being sent away from here for
merchandise' that ought to l)o bought at
homo, and I am broad minded enough
to realize the fact that every person
has a right to buy, whero thoy please,
but I want to make this statement, and
without an apology, that if you can buy
tho goods from mo for tho same oreven
less money, quality of goods and the
amount of purchaso considered, why
not buy at homo? If you will kindly
present tho outside concerns competi
tion list of groceries to me beforo send-
ing it, or Having it sent away again, I
will save you some money. Thero is no
reason why I Bhould not bo nblo to sell
you goods as cheap as these outside
concerns. I am buying all staple goods
by tho car loads, contract vegetables
before they are planted (this is done
that tho grower nnd canneries in ly
know tho output) and I discount my
bills. The wholesalers know this and
arc glad to sell me tho goods. I try to
keep everything on hand that can be
bought anywhere in groceries, queens
ware, and light hardware, I employ
enough clerks so that my customers
can pe promptly and courteously waited
on. l am not writing this irom a selfish
motive but for business reasons nnd in
the interest of homo industry. It is up
to you and mo to help build up tho city
and county and I think by all working
together is the safest way of doing it.
Yours for homo industry,
E. T. Tbamp.

"The Bohemian Girl"
No opera of modern times hna proven
as popular as Balfo's "Bohemian Girl"
In spito of the fact that it has been
hacked to pieces by cheap companies,
Its pppulanty increases year after year.
Such favorites as "I Dwelt in Marble
Malls," "Then You'll Remember Mo."
fTho Jlcart Bowed Down,' and dozens
of others, will live' as long as music ex
ists. And when this onera is sunir bv
cT(company of artists as compriso
tho Sheehan Opera Company, theso
numbers tako on a now beauty. Tho
full charm of tho exquisite Balfo scoro
ifttypught out to tho fullest extent nnd
tho result is a performance which is
nddlng new laurels to it ns well as to
tills company which is presenting It.
