LOOK WESTWARD! Are you or yot.r sons using proper energies towards finding land, in dustrial or professi( nal opportunities in localities adjacent to the Burlington lines through Wyoming, Western Nebraska, Northern Nebraska, Northeastern Colorado or Southern Montana? I can put you in touch with excellent pros pects in any of these sections. Mondell lands are going fast—so are the irrigated lands. Deeded lands in Western Nebraska are steadily increasing in value. The towns of the North Platte Valley and the Big Horn Basin are all growing and offer good business chances. The oil industry of Central Wyom ing and the Big Horn Basin is very extensive. All this new money is greatly widening the scope of business openings. The Burligton now has through service between Nebraska and Casper, Central Wyoming via Alliance and Wendover. If you have before you the problem of the future, either for yourself or your sons, let me help you. * S'. B.

To the little stores who are not able to buy goods in big quantities like I do, I am making you this offer. Come down and see me and I will help you buy goods at the right prices. I know I can save you money and you can give your customers better vprices. Here is a hunch about buying flour. The reason I get such good flour at so cheap a price is because I never stick to any one Mill. Generally the first car of flour sent into a town is the best the mill has got and they always give me a good price to get started but about the second car they begin to try and make back what they lost on the first car. That’s the reason I buy the next car from a new mill. And when you want some dandy good flour at a right price come to me. The picture on the bag has nothing to do with the flour. This world is full of all kinds of people and the newspapers are full of all kinds of adverisements but the people who have read my advertise ments will tell you .that you can get the goods at the advertised price and while the prices make you think its junk it is generally a better grade than is handled by the stores that charge more. I could buy cheaper goods and sell them for a whole lot less money. Prices is all right to get customers but when it comes to stuff to eat and wear people want the best. The Quality brings them back. With John Brennan’s name over the door you can depend on it that you have the best there is at the lowest price. CASH DOES IT The Home of Better Merchandise. Nebraska farmers oppose embargo on grain, live stock and provisions, and so do I. This is the first time that I ever knew when the farmers got what their stuff was worth. I, for one, am in favor of letting them make a little money for once. The store keepers are all doing good. The laboring man is the man the farmers, storekeepers and everyone should turn in and help them get more wages. I am ready and am going to start Monday and pay 20 per cent more to the clerks who work for me. Every man who is working for wages ought to have 20 per cent more. I don’t think there is a boss in O’Neill who will refuse to pay it. Let the farmers have what their stuff is worth. Let the storekeepers have what his stuff is worth. And let the Salaried Men have an increase in pay. You won’t miss it and he will do twice as much work for you. When this Christmas rolls around lets not have any one in this whole country go to bed hungry. I asked a salesman for a high priced Baking Powder Co. to tell me the straight facts about Baking Powder. He said to tell the truth the K. C. and mine is exactly the same dope bu t if you sell my baking powder you make more money, the customer gets less quantity and he has to come back oftener. I says to myself: The customer is the people who help me and I am going to help them so that is the reason I recom mend K. C.
