Mr. Plierr from child hood displayed nn ncumnn for busl nosst tiie talent with which he was en dowed ftm that of merchandizing, and to hlnflthero was n pleasure In soiling goodf; Ccupled with mis talent was Indomitable energy, a deslro to be al ways busy. As a buyor he was unsuc cessful us a sellor, and in the combina tion of both succosa could not help but bo realized. To those who have known Mr. Plzcr for years, a sketch of his earlier lift' will no doubt be Interesting. Born in Poland forty-olght years ago, It was the doslro of his Jowish parents that ho becoino a rabbi, and when he reach ed the age of four-tv'on ho was sent 'to a rabbinical college. Bu elinlan tlo life, wa"s not his forte, he longed for au opportunity to earn money, and scraping together enough funds to pay his faro to the United States he came to this country in 18S3. He landed in Now York at the ago of fif teen, a green foreign boy unused to tho ways of the westorn world. S;:on after landing ho went to Toxas and located In u town with thrco dollars in his pocket nnd without friends. Ho started a lemonudo stand and during tho year cleaned up $600. Ho then opened a grocery store on a Bninll scale and yithin throe years had the largest store of tho kind In tho town. In 1SS7 he began, In order to got rich quick, to Speculate in cotton nnd whllo ha had every cent invested in that stnplo tho market went to pieces and Mr. PIzor camo out of tho deal penniless. Ho then decided to loave tho south and seok his fortune in the north. From a banker friend he se cured a loan of fifty dollars and land ed in Michigan whero ho started out peddling spectacles. In this work ho saved $700 .which he Invested in a stock of jowolry and a cheap horse and buggy and 'travoied, through tho lumber camps of Michigan soiling his wnres. When out on tho road thrco days he was held up by highwaymen, who took everything ho possessed, and ho was again left penniless. But young men of Mr. Plzor's grit, honesty and Industry cannot bo put down and out. Ho managed to secure another stock of watches and Jewelry on cred it and s'tnrted out again. This time ho was more successful, and In two years' time had accumulated onough money to open a dry goods storo In Harrlsville, Mich; In this ho also prospered, and In 1S92 went to Den ver and was united In marlago to Miss Annie Friedman. To them the future looked rosento Annie was a bright, energetic young woman and Julius was tho possessor of a business that would make them moro than a living But tho sunshine was darkened, for upon their return from tho wedding trip Mr. Plzer was stricken with in flammatory rheumatism. Ho was treat ed without success for some tlmo and then, tho 'physicians said ho must go to a drior climate. Mr. Plzcr In read ing a Detlriot paper ono day saw an ar tlclo that stated that North Platte, No braska, had had no rain ror a year and ho decided that if it was a dry climnto ho needed In order 'to rid himself of rheumatism certainly North Platto would bo the place. Ho sold his storo in Hnrrlsvlllo and came to North Platte In 1803, In ono of tho most panicky years this country has ever known and It was hard sled ding for every business man in North Pln'tte. He started In on a small, scale, but ho know tho merchandizing game Ho opened early in tho morning and closed late at night; ho was "on tho Job" every minute. By giving tho bus iness his closest attention, by fair and squaro dealings wsth Ills custom crs Mr. Plzcr prospered, he onlargod Ills business, moved Into moro roomy quarters and In a fow years had bullded The Leader Jnto ono of tho most successful and most largely pat ronlzed stores In western Nebraska As his sur'plus earnings becamo great or than tho needs ot his business, ho began making investments in town proportioBjbullded himself a flno home put up a business tdock on Locust Street and purchased other property and now has in contemplation tho erection of nnothor business build ing. Ho is also tho owner of a num ber of Irrigated farms In tho valley. Ho was ono of tho incorporators of tho Platto Valley State Bank, but is not now connected with that Institution. Through him a scoro of farmers havo been furnished with tho means to, purchase a farm; In many Instances ho has como to their rescue when they worflf In financial straits. In fact in ninny' ways Mr. PIzor has materially aided In building up North Plntto and Lincoln county and making conditions better. Ono of Mr. Plzor's characteristics Is his cinrlty to tho Jewish peoplo and charity Institutions). Nono over ap plied to him for nsslstanco without receiving it, and each year ho rcinonv bors charity institutions with dona ti iiB.
