A New Bask for Nertk Platte
I A new financial institution to be known
as the Platte Valley State Bank will be
, launched in North Platte about August
lst. The organization was effected
Tuesday evening by n party of
North Platte and Wallace men,
when tho following officers were
elected: President, Frank Plnlstlcker;
vicepresident, Julius Pizer; cashier,
M. E, Scott, "-Mehlman, asst.
cashier; directors J. G. Bcaler, J. W.
Payne, C. II. Walter, C. A. Llston
and Henry Mehlmsn. The authorized
capital is $100,000 and the paid up cap
ital will on tho start be $50,000.
Tho room formerly occupied by
Small's shoo store has been leased, and
the furnishings will bo ordered within
a few days.
The officers and directors of the bank
with ono exception, are well known
Lincoln county men. The president,
Mr. Plelsttcker, had for several years
filled tho position of cashier of the
Wallace bank, and with his associates
8ld their interests n couple of weeks
no to cmb?rk in the banking business
)n this city. Mr. Pizer, tho vice- presi
dent, is ono of the leading merchants
of North Plnttc, and has a high stand
ing financially. The cashier M. E.
Scott, is a son-in-law of J. G. Beclor,
and for somo years has been in the
banking business at Cuba, 111. The as
sistant cashier is a son of Henry Mehl
man, one of the leading business men
of tho south part f the county. The
directors are men of heavy financial re
sources, Messrs. Walter, Llston and
Mehlman being residents of Wallace,
and Messrs. Beeler and Payne are of
his city.
A third bank in North Platto has been
contemplated for some time, and that
we nre to have one financed and man
aged by men so well known in the county
is a matter of congralutation. It means
a solid and conservatively' managed In
stitution. The establishment of the bank brings
to North Platto Mr. Plelstlcker, Mr.
Scott and Mr. Mehlman, the lattor two
having families. Thoyarothe class o
.citizens wo welcome.
Home First, the Outside After.
When you buy look first at home. If
it is for sale In your town patronizo
your homo town. If it is made in your
home town patronize the makor. That's.
the way to make n better town, a
better locality and larger home pros
pority. If your competitor has tho
goods, walk into his shop and surprise
him "by giving him your patronage. Its
dollars to doughnuts that when ho
wants something you have he will go
and do likewise. As a result there are
two new transactions to tho credit, of
tho business of your town, nnd of far
more valu", cordial relations are estab
lished, the influenco of which on tho
spirit and advancement of your locality
cannot be measured.
Then when you cannot get what you
want directly at homo, buy in Nebras
ka. Patronizo Nebraska business
houses, patronize Nebraska manufac
turers, patronize tho pcoplt of your
own statu, who aro part of It, whose
business htdps to support the state, and
whoso growth and prosperity is an
Tfdded asset to your own business, In
directly at leaBt. After you have given
your patronage to home people, all that
homq people are equipped to care for,
there is enough business left that will
go uway from home to equalize nil
the business that comes into tho
state from outsido sources. Thore in
never any difficulty but that wo will be
reciprocal enough in spending our money
away. There is alwayB danger,liatwe
do not spend all that wo ran and ought
to at homo. What would happen to
manufacturing industries of Nebraska
if Nebraska made goods and materials
wero given first call and first opportunity
when we, as individuals, go forth to
buy? The manufacturing wealth and
volume of business would double in nn
Incredibly short time. What would
happen If orders for goods sold in the
state were all centered in tho whole
sale houses of Nebraska? To jobbing
business of tho state would doublo, the
capital invested In the business would
double, tho number of people employed
would grealy increase, the amount of
taxable property would increaso by leapB
and bounds and the wealth and bum
ness, and even tho population of tho
state, would take on figures. There
need be no sacrifice whatever in build
ing this homo patronage proposition.
