In bur opinion no city in Nebraska
has a-more wide awake and up-to-date
bill poster than has Alliance in the per
son of S.A.Miller. Si believes in adver
tising, not only for other people, but
for himself as well and is having some
stationery printed for "S- A. Miller
Advertising Service."- On the back of
some envelopes, he is having printed
the Herald's outline map of Nebraska
showings its central location in the
panhandle of the state which is, we
think1 a good scheme in advertising this
city. .-Other business men would do
