The above are the only additions to North Platte, on the market, where residence lots are
improved with cement. side walks, water and gas mains, graded streets and sewer.
The sewer is much deeper in the ground, because the sewer system runs eastward, hence
deeper basements may be built in this part of the city.
These improvements make these lots the most modern and sanitary of any in the city.
Many beautiful homes have already been built, and others will be built this year, in these
additions.
The location, too, is good, the lots being in the best additions to the city and being but
from 7 to 10 blocks east of Dewey street.
To reach the business district it will never be necessarv to cross railrord tracks, whether
the Burlington builds or not.
' All the lots shown upon above map, which have prices marked thereon, arc for sale at
said prices. All other lots have been sold,
A 5 discount will ve given for cash, or lots will be sold on easy terms to suit purchaser.
Liberty Bonds will bo accepted, at full value, in part or full payment, of any of the
above lots.
