XOHTII PLATTE WAS FIRST
DRY TOWN IN STATE
Editor Tribune:
It was stated by an exchange in
last Tuesday's Tribune, ns in Omaha
papers, that North Platte had gono dry
for the first" timo in its history.. This
Is a mistake, which can bo proven by
reference to tho city irecords, and
in "North Platte and its Associa
tions." The fact "is, North Platte was
declared "dry" by tho city council
May C, 1879, and it may be remarked
that it was the first "dry" town in
the state of Nebraska.
Law In those days was loosely ad
ministered, and western life too free
and ensy for saloon keepors to be de
torred from selling liquor by vote of
tho council, and they went right along
doing business with the slight differ
ence that beer was called "butter
milk" and sold under that name.
Tho fact that saloon keopors con
tinued doing business boing brought to
the attention of tho council, tho mar
shall was ordered to suppress the salo
of liquor, and close all saloons, but
tho council and mairshal wero allko
unheeded, and for twelve months sa
loons paid no license and tho taxpay
er's burden increased.

Since the 18th day of January, the date that this com
pany voted lo move its Home (Mice to North Platte from
Lexington, and the date that we went on a legal reserve basis
we have moved all the belongings of the former Fidelity Life
Association to North Platte, and on account of the changing
of our name and form of insurance, we have had printed an
entire new set of blanks, such as Policies, Applications and
every other form that an insurance company needs.
We have spent about $3200.00 in fixing up a modern,
up-to-date insurance office, and we are just about ready to
commence our active campaign over the state for new insur
ance. Without any push at all from the home office, as the
officers had all they could handle in the removal and
reorganization, this company has put on the books $70,00.00
of insurance since the 18th day of January of this year.
Last week the President of the Company, Dr. Baker, was in
Sidney and Kimball and wrote $30,000.00 of new business.
This shows the selling qualities of our policies.
Wc want practically every insurable person in North
Platte and Vicinty to carry a policy in this company. We
give you the best insurance for the premium of any company
doing business in Nebraska today. We will sell it to you
on an annual, semi-annual, quarterly or monthly basis. Any
terms that are convicnt to you, and every dollar you invest
with this company, will help buildup North Platte and West
ern Nebraska and not New York, Philadelphia or other east
ern city that you are not interested in.
Phone the office for an appointment and one of our
agents will call on you and explain our policy. You are
under no obligations to buy, by having our policies explained.
