"Too Late, Too Late!"
You remember. I'm sure, tho story
of tho Boven wise and seven fooliBh vir
gins who wero waiting for tho bridal
party, intending to accompany it to tho
wedding feast. You remember how

,and burning, and wero prepared when
tho timo came, whllo tho foolish ones,
letting their lamps burn out, wero met
with the cry ''too late, too Intel"
There's n somewhnt similar note of
despair in life insurance. Forty-four
hundred and fifty-one personB applied
to the Now York Life in 1908 for over
thirteen millions of life insurance, forty-four
hundred and fifty-one people
whom, for ono reason or another, tho
Company could not accept.
These applicants wero declined, nnd
met with tho metaphorical cry "too
late, too lato, yo cannot enter hero."
These 4,451 people had fritted away
their chances, wasted their many oppor
tunities, and found nt last when they
did nppiy for life insurnnco that, alas,
thoy couldn't got it. t
Most people think thoy can 'get lifo
insurance nny timo they wan it. All
thoy have to do is to ask for it. .All
thoy have to do is to let aomo ono take
their applications. Not so. Hero wero
over four thousand bona fide applica
tions that didn't bring insurance. Prob
ably tho vast majority of those lag
gards might have been insured, if only
they had applied in timo i. e before
thoy became uninsurable. But thoy
mane, inoy uriueu along in inncieti se
curityand with what dread result!

FOR
City and Suburban Homes
RESIDENCE LOTS
Trustee Tabor still has for sale quite a number of
residence lots on Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth
streets of the Trustee's Addition.
The physical conditions of these lots are better for resi
dence purposes than in any other part of the city because:
These lots are located between the U. P. R. R. tracks and the B. &
M. right of way and it will never be necessary to cross a railroad to get
to the homes built thereon.
These lots are within six blocks of Dewey street.
The sewer lateral has been placed in all the alleys so that every lot
owner has access to the sewer, and this sewer is deeper in the ground than
in any other part of the city. This makes it possible to have deeper cellars
and makes the land higher and freer from surface water than in any other
part of North Platte.
A five foot cement sidewalk with crossings has been constructed upon
the north and south sides of each block of the Addition.
The city water pressure is greater than elsewhere in the city, because
of the weight of the water in all the pipe mains to the west. The actual
t
test made during the summer showed the water pressure in the Trustee's
Addition to be 43 pounds per square inch. This gives better fire protection
and better water service for sprinkling lawns, etc., than is to be found
elsewhere in North Platte.
Telephone, electric light and water service can be had anywhere in the
Trustee's Addition as readily as elsewhere in the city.
Arrangements have been made for the erection of three new two story
homes in this Addition this spring; besides there will be quite a number of
other homes, so that this will be the nicest and most modern part of North
Platte.
LOW PRICES
You cannot buy a vacant residence lot as close to the business portion
of the city and improved as well as these lots now are, unless you pay at
least twice as much money as the Trustee sells these lots for. The prices
range from $237.50 to $380 cash. This allows a five per cent discount for
cash and the lots will be sold with a small payment down and easy terms to
those who want to buy in this way. The Trustee will sell 44 or 66 foot or
greater frontage just as buyer prefers.
City Blocks for Suburban Homes
The Trustee has platted 77 city blocks located from
eight to twenty blocks from Dewey street between the
rights of way of the two railroads. Each of these blocks
contain almost three acres. They are splendid tracts for
garden patches, fruit and poultry farms.
These lots are just outside the city limits and within the North Platte
school district. The lots therefore do not have to pay the heavy city tax.
The taxes on these blocks for the next four years will not exceed forty
cents per acre.
Everyone of these blocks front on a regularly laid out street of the city.
Each block is situated exactly in conformity with the blocks of the city
and if. any block owner should ever dasire to subdivide his block into city
lots he could do so without difficulty.
PriPAC our cnoce of blocks for $350. Prices from this down to
1 I ItCO $ 1 50 per block.
TpVfTK ?'vc per cent discount or cash or ten Per cent down and balance
1 CI 111b in small monthy, quarterly or yearly payments to suit buyer.
The Trustee is selling his property on easier terms than any real estate
is sold in Lincoln County.
I will be glad to go at any time with any parties to show these lots
or city blocks and furnish any information concerning the same,
WM. E. SHUMAN,
Attorney for Roy B. Tabor, Trustee.
