SALE
of
BEREA-the Spud Center
100 Residence and 70 Business Lots at Auction
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 4th, 1917
This is the golden opportunity for which you have been waiting the
chance to purchase at rock bottom price a residence and business lot in the
new town of BEREA, THE SPUD CENTER. Located on the main line of the
Burlington railroad, midway between the substantial and prosperous towns of
Alliance and Hemingford, near the center of Box Butte county, it is the ideal
location for a flourishing little city, and this is your opportunity to get in on
THE GROUND FLOOR.
Box Butte county is today the leading producing district of potatoes in
the Middle West. Berea, The Spud Center, is ten miles northwest of Alliance
and the same distance southeast of Hemingford, the only other two towns in
Box Butte county. Berea, The Spud Center, is surrounded by fertile farming
lands, thousands of acres of which are being broken up each year and planted
to potatoes and other crops. There is a demand for a town in this spot; there
is a demand for all lines of business to supply the surrounding farms coal and
lumber yards, general stores, and all lines of business which are necessary to a
prosperous farming community.
Two new monster potato cellars, capable of storing fifty carloads of spuds,
are just being completed at Berea, The Spud Center. This is just a start. The
birthday of the town will be on Thursday, October 4th, when you have the op
portunity of purchasing at auction sale a residence and business lot on the new
townsite. PLAN NOW TO COME. This is an opportunity you cannot miss.
A little money will make you an excellent investment.
