t "I J H.'f HHmB-vjHB E. J. VanDerhoof, of the The Star Clothing House. Tho writer has written up scores of towns from coast to coast tho last fifteen years, has Interviewed hun dreds of business men and thinks ho can toll a first class, progressive mer chant and thorough gentleman whet) he sees one and Mr. VanDerhoof is certainly In this class. The writer was courteously received by Mr. Van Derhoof and given all the Information requested. We learn that this is the oldest commercial enterprise here, dating from '77, and every year has been a successful one. Stores of this character give tone and stability to .the mercantile interests of tho town and this is one of the establishments of our thriving city whero all comers get the square deal, the same price, and tho good old rule, "do unto others as you would 'bo done by" prevails three hundred and sixty-live- days? in the year. Everything intheoutlitting line for men and boys is carried and the strongest legitimate compotion, is welcomed by Mr. VanDerhoof. Clerks are cautioned to tell buyers just what the goods are, to treat the smallest purchaser with the same courtesy as the large buyer and to consider no sale closed unless the patron is entirely satisfied. Tho Star Clothing House is known far and wide; a heavy mail order busi ness is. done; trade is drawn from many miles as far as Sidney even and every effort is made to keep tho Star up to date to the minute. This we might say is one of our old, MUTUAL BUILDING & LOAN ASSN., T. C. Patterson, Pres.; F. E. Dullard, Treasurer; V. Von Goetz, Vice Pres.; S Gozee, Secretary. This Is our most important home in dustry and, we might add, our most beneficlont and useful enterprise as well. Organized in 1887, it has enjoy ed a steady, conservatvo growth and its assets now total no less than half a million dollars. Right hero in our mlilnt la din mnnnv nf thin nxr.ellnnt organization loaned, so tho expense" tho ordinary uuuuing anu loan com pany incurs is thus avoided. Ap proved, sciontillc principles govern in this concern and there is not a safor organization in tho state. The of ficials, directors, depositors in and patrons of the Mutual Building & Loan Association deserve congratula tion indeed on the oxcellonce and strength of their enterprise and North Platte and Lincoln County rejoice In tho striking success of tho Mutual. "Home Is tho sweetest woid in all the vocahulary of man," and tho worthiest of all purposes Is saviug to build a home. Thoroforo associations of this character merit the gioatest en couragement and commendation and it is' not too much to say that there is not a building and loan assbclation In theso United States that can offer such legitimate inducements as our own Mutual or Is safor or better man aged. Strong statement thi3, but llg ures and books open to all prove it abundantly. Mr. Patterson, the presi dent of tho Association, and our worthy mayor, has been president for many years of tho Building and Loan Associations of tho State and has made a deep study of tho field and operations of these companies. Ills success with tho Mutual, aided by tho other olllclals ana directors, shows what can bo done In North Platto and Lincoln County when tho right men with tho right Idea become Interested In a proposition. We cannot speak too highly of this organization. H. A. BROOKS, PHOTOGRAPH GAL LERY. Tho desire to preserve the pictured Bemblanco of loved ones Is as natural as life ltsolf, and the people of North Platto and her trado territory enjoy peculiar advantages In this gallery as it 1b high class In every respect. Wo find hero tho best lenses, tho latest mountings and no pains are spared to pose patronB so as to get tho best results. Everything wo might say known to photography can bo had here and this gentleman Is adding to his list of patrons. Mr. Brooks knows this lino from ovory anglo and is wo might say a genuine artist for photography theso days is no longer mechanical. In ovory dopartment of tho art Mr. Brooks is an export and wo would point out that ho makes tho effort of his life with every newly marrlod couple that favor him with a sitting. There is no more acceptablo gift that a picture and you get the best from Mr. Brooks at a modoiato price. Mr. Brooks Is a clean-cut, active, up with tho times gentleman who commands the confidonco of our peo ple and ho oporatos ono of tho beat r-illerles In this part of tho Stato.

Tho premises measuro 45 by 72, there are two two lloors and tho es tablishment Is literally packed from lloor to celling with about the finest stock in this part of Nebraska. The quick sale and tho small profit Is one of the mottoes of this store and up to date principles of merchandis ing and all the latest ideas and devices In business procedure are found here. Every dollar Mr. VanDerhoof has Is an honest ono and The Star Is a commercial asset of North Platte and Lincoln county that Is of decided im portance to this community. Clerk service here Is Al and this is indeed a model establishment that deserves well of all our people. The limit of value is given and not a dol lar should go beyond this town or trade territory for anything in the way of men or boys' articles as long as The Star is with us. Mr. VanDerhoof is not only one of our best merchants but he Is also deeply interested in publlcalTaiis and gives freely of his time and energy for tho promotion of what ho considers the best Interests of the people as tho advantage of the general public he believes to bo the object of all politi cal effort. Mr. VanDerhoof has held Important political offices in this part of tho state and it is men of this typo that represent our best grade of business men andprogresslve, worthy, citizenship, NORTH PLATTE MILL & GRAIN CO., Manufacturers Hlah-Grade Flour. Corn Meal, Mill Food, Buyers and bhlppers All Kinds of Grain Capacity, 150 Bar rels Wheat Flour, 60 Barrels Rye riour, u ions urounu t-eea. The corn of tho ancients was tho wheat of today, the staff of life. Tho methods used in the production of riour have changed as much as civil ization has advanced slnco tho far away time whon the men of Egypt ground tho wheat by hand after hav ing threshed It out on tho threshing floor. Today the wheat is ground by some of tho most elaborate machin ery concohed by tho Inventive mind of man. North Platte Is proud of this mill and it IS ono of tho beat and largest in tho Stato. The equipment is first class throughout and tho brands of flour turned out havo gained a flattering reputation over a wide area. They aro equal In quality to any and superior to most and none purer or more wholesome can bo had anywhere. The best processes are used in these mills and tho conditions of cleanliness cannot be surpassed. The breadmaking capacity of theso brands Is greatly appreciated by our practical housewives and wo must not forget when we buy outside flours, wo buy from mills that havo no lntorest in North Platte; tho foreign mill merely makes us pay the freight and takes money from our community that had hotter be spent hero. But when we uso our own product, than which there Is no bettor anywhere, wo pat ronize an Institution that bonollts the town In ovory respect Tho officials of tho North Platto MHL& Grain Com pany aro all men of competence, ox tromely fair in all their dealings and no home industry is of greater im portance than this mill. Thoy are al ways willing to contribute thoir share to well considered, worthy enterprises for tho good of North Platto and Lin coln county. EDWARD BURKE, Agent for the Kahn Tailoring Company. Whilo writing up the business Inter ests of tho town and county wo stepped Into tho abovo mentioned establishment and made tho acquaint ance of Mr. Edward Burke whom wo found as busy as a bee. Customers were being waited on and It was evi dent that this is a thriving Institution indeed. This gentleman pleasantly re ceived tho writer and gave him all tho Information requested. Mr. Burko Im presses a stranger as a keen, alert, businesslike gentleman who under stands thoroughly overy detail of tho lino and ho Is evidently "making good" by a largo majority. Ho repre sents tho Kahn Tailoring Company of Indianapolis and thoro Is no moro en terprising or moro progresslvo whole salo morchant tailoring house within tho four seas. Ono lnstanco wo may cite. They never put out tho same patterns twice but instead profor to reduce tho price twenty per cent, for rosorved stock of workers, reductions being direct from headquarters, and many of our wise folks tako advantage of this exceptional offor and stock up with a fine wardrobo at a considerable saving. To ploaso tho very econom ical buyers, Mr. Burko also soils a lino of $15 suits which represent Indeed marvollous values. Ho sells of couneo tho greater number of his suits and ovo: coats at higher prices but always the exceptional valuo is thoro and we would not" tbt he Hold last year no lets than 6,000 worth of clothes and the prospect is that the net will oe greater this year. Mr. Burke Is our oldest olothlas; tales in an here in point of service and has a wide personal nt business acquaintance, which stand him in pood stead slnco he em barked in business for himself. Mr. Burko Is still a young man, on tho sunny sldo of forty, wo should guess, but ho is old in oxporlonce, and you will savo a tidy sum overy year If your buy from him as ho gets tho latest styles, gets them first, and Ills exponsos being practically nothing, It stands to reason ho can do better than others in town. Mr. Burko is a gingery gentleman, always on tho lookout for trade, straight to tho cont, and ho Is getting tho trade. "Nuft sod." Room 9, Wnltematn Building.
