It is your lown and our town thai is passing the 10,000 mark in population. The next 10,000 will be easier, if we do our
pari. This is why the P. F. E. Co., Nebraska Telephone Company, the Standard Oil Company and one or two other important and
large enterprises, which we cannot mention at this time, have chosen our town as being the third city in Nebraska and a city of un
limited possibilities because of its location and drawing territory. .
