WEST-NA80N
To persons conversant with the
history of Box Hutte county t he
names West and Nason are famllar,
representing a DUtnoOT of the lead
ing families of the count). We are
pleased to record the wedding of
two well known and highly respect
ed young people of the above names.
At the home of the bride's parents,
Mr. nnd Mrs. F. M. Nnson, at 8 o'
clock. Sunday evening, February 5,
1911, Mr. Joseph 0. West and Miss
Helen Nason were united In the holf
bonds of matrimony, J, W. Thomas,
the "preacher-editor" of The Her
ald, officiating. It was Indeed a
festive occasion and one long to be
remembered by the assembled guests.
More than one hundred persons were
present, .eluding among other rela
tives and friends, the groom's fath
er, Mr. K. li. West, the brides
grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. M. P.
Nason, and Mrs. Al. Cornell, an aunt
of the bride.
To the strains of music furnished
by Miss Lorn Nason, sister of the
bride, the bride and groom entered
the parlor, accompanied by Miss Hon
nle LoraaoO, bridesmaid, and Mr.
Fred Crawford, best man. Esther
Nason. niece of the bride, and Mar
guerite West, niece of the ITOMB,
were the flower girls, and were con
ducted by the Misses Minnie and
Carol Nason, sisters of the bride.
After the nuptial knot had been
securely tied, and congrat ulnt ions
and best wishes showered upon the
newly wedded couple, the guests
were invited to the t,lni.i rOOOl to
partake of an elegantly prepared
feast, to the equal of which it Is
seldom our privilege to be Invited,
if, as Is claimed b some, that hap
piness in married life is to a con
siderable extent a matter of cireunt
BtanCM, and if one of the favorable
circumstances is good cooking, judg
ing by the wedding dinner, in the
preparation of which the bride did
her part, we may safely predict a
happj married life for them.

THERE'8 A REASON
The Scottsbiuff Herald Gives Inter
esting Article Telling of Growth
of Grand Island. Read It.
The census bureau recently an
nounced the population of the larg
est cities In Nebraska. It was found
that Crnnd Island had grown to beat
the band durlug the last ten years
and a whole lot of people began
wondering why Grand Island should
have grown so In fact we wondered
for we spent some time In that burg
when It was too dead to skin. We
have seen Grand Island when bo
dead that there were vacant houses
by the hundreds, some of which
could be rented for a few dollars a
month. But that was a few years
back. Since then Grand Island has
"coin alive" and the mystery has
been solved. Advertising has done
the business. Head the following
from the Omaha Trad Exhibit and
then let it soak in on you. Think. of
a clothing firm using 8 full pages of
one issue of a home paper Just to
advertise wearing apparel for men.
We reckon that wouldn't give Mont
gomery Ward & Co. and some of
the timid little home fellowa heart
failure! Now, wouldn't It? Heav
ens! Some merchants would squnny
pucker together If they even dared
to dream of ouch "reckless extrav
agance". But Wolbach & Sons pat
ronize their home newspaper pub
lishers and home is where they get
Ihe big end of their business and
are making it pay. Read the article
anyhow, it will be good for you.
A notable array of good advertise
ments made up a large part of the
Grand Island (Nebr.) Dally Inde
pendent's issue of Friday, January
13, which consisted of 24 pages
three 8-page sections.
In the first section, S. N Wolbach
& Sons, dry goods merchants, had
throe full page ads, while Woolsteu
Uolm & Sterne, clothiers, and Mar
tin's, dry goods, etc., each had full
page ads. bugger & Wilkins, shoes,
Used a 10-Inch 3-Column space.
S. N. Wolbach & Sons had five
full page ads In the second section.
The Grand Dry Goods company had
I half page ad, West's Cut rate
Pharmacy a 10-inch 3-column ad and
the R. H. McAllister company, hard
ware, a 6-inch double column ad.
The Fraltck-Geddes company, furn
iture, dominated the third section
with four excellent full page ads.
The Wolbach firm holds the Ne
braska record outside of Omaha for
extensive advertising. In June, 190!",
It used 6 pages of ad., each in one
issue of the Grand Island Daily In
dependent and Advertising Manager
Johns has now broken the firm's own
record by using 8 pages in one Is
sue. This latest record ties Omaha's
best showing, which was an 8-pt.ge
ad used by the Morse Dry GooOs
company in the early HO's in tho
World-Herald.
The Fraiick-Geddes company has
also established a record for furni
ture advertising In Nebraska, with
four pages of ads In one issue. No
other furniture store In the state
has ever approached that record
and it Is believed that one page has
been the limit heretofore. Mr. Fra
llck personally handles the advertis
ing of the Frallck-Geddes company.
Best of all, this advertising la not
only extensive, but it is effective as
well The work of Grand Island's
ad men compares very favorably with
that done In the cities many times
larger, (irand Island is not only Ne
braska's third city rn population, but
Is certainly the second city In ad
vertislng and can also give Omaha's
high-priced experts some good pointers.
