Has Prospered Nicely.
Charles Schwab, who a few
ago embarked in business for
self as a farmer, has bv hard
and good management, succeeded in
acquiring for himself a competency. '
by his persistance in industry and
giving his labor the co-operation of
earnest thought.
Sometime ago he purchased an 8(1
acre tract which he farmed for three
years and secured an income each
year of one thousand dollars, and
then in the end dl-posed of the place
at a profit of five thousand dollars,
which in the three years made him
a profit of eight thousand dollars.
He then purhaseu" same land in Otoe
county and now has some three hun
dred and s'Veti:y acre of extra good
Nebraska soil and over sixteen hund
red acres of good land in the eastern
Kortici of t lie state, making in all
his li-oldings something over two
thousand acres of land and all of
good valu. This practically would
place Mr. Schwab on c-asy street, but
he dc-es not tl.ink of ceasing- to work
