Money Invested
in a Home Brings
You Real Rewards
that cannot be measured alone
in dollars and cents. There's
satisfaction in knowing you
have a home when ixwsibly
all other investments fail it
gives you a feeling of security
anddemands the recognition of
your fellow townsmen, because
by building you show your
faith in the future of the com
munity. And every commun
ity is known by its deeds. You
can help and at the same time
help yourself. A home invest
ment is always the most meri
torious, and loss is less likely
because you are dealing in
values you understand and
with people you know. We
have supplied the lumber for
the homes of many of your
friends who are now on the
road to success, and want to
talk with you whenever you're
ready.

Car Load Is Coming to
Alliance
ARRIVE TODAY OR TOMORROW
The following letter which The
Herald has received from Henry Hop
kins, whose visit to eastern Nebras
ak and Iowa was mentioned in last
week's issue, will be of special In
terest to readers in Alliance and
surrounding country:
Thurman, Iowa, August 14, 1911.
Mr. Thomas, Alliance, Nebraska.
Dear Sir: On my trip in the eastern
part of our great state of Nebraska,
and some Iowa points, I concluded
that Box Butte is a pretty good
county to live in, but in the line of
fruits we are not in it, consequently
I made up my mind if there were
any good apples for sale, I would buy
them for Box Butte. I located a
nice lot of five varieties and am
loading a car right now. Expect to
land them In Alliance about the 17th
or 18th of August.
Yours truly,
HENRY HOPKINS.
