" ' TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS, CREETINCS:
i
During the past twenty-one years the shareholders have
intrusted the management of this Association witli more than
nine millions of their savings, which was safely and profitably
invested for them.
The NEBRASKA CENTRAL has not always been in
position to use all of the money that has been offered it. On
account of not being able to get satisfactory loans we refused
to uccept the money, which has been a disappointment to
some investors.
At present, however, we are pleased to announce that
there is a good demand from borrowers and we can issue a
limited amount of our Full Paid and Prepaid Stock, which
bears interest at six per cent, payablc-semi-aniuiully. We
shall be pleased to hear from you if you have money for
investment.
