After an absence of several years Gentry Bros, famous shows, which are so well known and so well liked in this city, return to North Platte on Friday, May 29, for two performances. Next to Santa Clau3 comes the Gen try Bros. Shows in the hearts and minds of the childron, and to them at least, this.e,vent will prove of more importance than any happening of the year.

It is a high toned, moral and enter taining exhibition and appeals especially to ladies and children. This is- the first visit to North Platto in 'several years of these world-renowned shows, and every citizen of the community should attetkl at least one of the two performances to be given here. One of the many big features to bo seen will bo the a "monkey fire department," and another feature is tho "mortkey barber-shop."

At ono o'clock the doors will be opened for the first performance, which begins an hour later, and for- nearly two hours thereafter an ever changing kaledidoscope of novelities and enter taining features, too numerous to men tion, will be presented.

SELBY. zsnEssmeziKssasmzsarp Dont Get Roped in by Catalog Houses It isn't a pleasant sensation to send your good money nway for a car of Lumber, and then find tho stuff not as good as you ex pected to get. Yet scores and scores of farmers are getting "roped in" that way every day. The bait of "cheap prices" seems to wrap there business judg ment, and away goes their money to buy ntuff sight unseen . You sober commhn sense should tell you that the cost of doing business with million of expensive catalogs, and thousands of clerks make it impossible for catalog houses to sell you as good i lumber for the same money as your local denier can, and that they resort to lowering the grade in order to make the price .appear cheaper. When you can buy your Lumber and Building Material here as cheap as away from home, why should'tyou bo loyal to your home community and its interests, which are also yours? Think it over, and, remember, we can meet or beat any catalog houso price on the same grades. C. F. Iddings Company. North Platte, Nebraska.
