No man will put his money in an enterprise unless he is reasonably suro that it will be safe and that fair dividends will be paid promptly. We have absolutely no "watered stock.'" A dollar has been invested for every dollar's worth of securities issued. This has been proved beyond all doubt by hundreds of investi gations by commissions and governing bodies. In order that we may keep the investment of our security holders safe and our sorvice to thu public dependable and con tinuous, we maintain a sufficient reserve to rebuild or replace our property when it is destroyed by fires or storms, or is worn out or becomes obsolete. A consistent adherence to this policy has enabled us to give you the best, the most comprehensive and the cheapest tele phone service in the world. NEBRASKA TELEPHONE COMPANY Office phone 241.
