Tfie ilrst annual stockholders meet
ting and election of officers of Uio

porated, was held Monday. ,
This organization was started about'
July 1st, 1919, and has engaged gen-1

Tho report of the president showed a J
very satisfactory business for the six j
months since the organization, with j
tho completion of six dwellings and j
seven others under construction. It
was found from tills report that tho
business had Increased to such an ex
tent that it has become necessary to
install several labor saving devices
and machines nnd upon recommenda
tlon of tho president, some $1500.00
worth of machinery, was ordered in
stalled In the work shop which has
been equipped on Vino street; and In
addition to the electric lathe and oth
er machinery already installed, an ex
pensive wood working machine has
been ordered placed in tho shop nnd '
modern cement mixer and a truck for
tho transportation of material was
ordored purchased.
Expansion of the business has be
come so great that moro work has
been ol'fored than present 'facilities
would accommodate. The present
building plan for tho year 1920 cov
ers a schedule of between twenty-five
and thirty dwelling houses in addition
to thoso now under construction and
it will undoubtedly bo necessary to
increase tbo crew of over twenty men
now steadily employed.
The stockholders present proceed
ed to the election of a board of di
rectors for tho ensuing year, with the
result that the following members
were elected: J. G. Beeler, F. C. Piel
sticker. J. C. Hollman, J. E. Sebastian
nnd C. V. Temple.
Following the adjournment of the
stockhalders' meeting the board of
directors convened for the purpose of
organization and chose tho following
officrs: C. F. Temple, president; J. E
Sebastian, vice president; M. Lillian1
Sturgos, secretary, ana 1j. cj. iieni
mann, treasurer.
Tho North Platte Homo Builders
bavo filled a long felt necessity, for
an organization to push tho home
building campaign In North Platto
and In tho coming year it intends to
exert its strongest efforts not only
for tho personal erection ofi dwelling
houses but for tho encouraging of tho
"Own Your Own Homo" Campaign put
on by the United States government,
and to this end it is hoped that the
citizens of North Platto will cheer
fully co-operate.
