However, tho original appraisement $193,
DOO has been carried on tho books until tho

An Omaha Yoiiiik Miiii'n Siieeesn.
Less than two year's ago Mr. C. L. Hedges
camo to Omaha to go Into tho flro Insurance
business. Being a stranger nnd having only
ono company to start with, ho found it
hard work to competo against tho old estab
lished agencies. But pluck and hustle al
ways win In Omaha. Our peoplo llko that
sort of thing. They want to encourage
cnorgy nnd hard work; so, many houses
gavo Mr, Hodges a portion of their Insur
ance Thus encouraged, ho got additional
companies nnd built up his business, until
now ho has tho largest list of strong com
panies In tho city, and stands In tho front
rank in volumo of business.
Tho work having out-grown the capacity
ot ono manager, Mr. Hodges has now as
soolated with him Mr. George B. Morton
of St. I3Uls, who comes to cast his lot
nmong us, nnd tho business Is Incorporated
ns tho Hedges-Morton Co. As Mr. Morton
is a gentleman of means and wtdo experi
ence, there is no doubt thnt tho Hedges
Morton Co. will continue to handle large
lines of Insurance In tho city and Increnso
still moro In volume of business. Tho com
pany has Its omco8 In the Paxton block.
