Tlic cheapness of land around Plattsmoutli and its nearness to Onialia markets together with good
railroad facilities, make it not only a pleasant place to reside, but a desirable place for the establishment
of manufactories, and they are coming. While real estate values are growing more firm each day, yet
there is nothing speculative or fictitious about them, and good residence lots can be bought at from j$I
to $SS5 land near the city can be purchased at from $1 to $S5 per acre. Within the next twelve
months our city expects to welcome the Missouri Pacific and the Omaha and Southern i&ailways into its
corporate limits.
