To, The Depositor
NATIONAL BANKS FAIL. When
they do depositors lose heavily. Why?
Because deposits in National Banks
are not guaranteed.
STATE BANKS FAIL. When they
do depositors are paid in full. Why?
Because deposits in State Banks are
protected by the Depositors Guarantee
Fund of the State of Nebraska.
THE NEBRASKA STATE BANK
OF O’NEILL is the only Bank in
O’Neil] which offers you this pro
tection.
You will protect yourself and please
us by depositing your money with us.

courteously and honestly, and presents
plays that give appreciable satisfact
ion. Our town is a theatre going town
and Elwin Strong is able each succes
ive season in pleasing the big crowds
of folks who appreciate his visits here
and who like him for his sociability
and honesty in business affairs.
The opening nights play, “The Wo
man in Room 13,” was a melo-draifla
with many thrills and was well re
ceived.
Tuesday night the company pre
sented Avery Hopwood’s great comedy
"Why Men Leave Home,” and Wed
nesday night “East is West," a drama
of the Far East. Thursday night the
most discussed play of the year,
“Scandal,” and you won’t find better
entertainment anywhere than this
shimmering romance that shook high
society until the family skeleton rat

(faction, "Scandal" is a genuine de
light.

type of story that carries an appeal of
particular interest in those who like
their entertainment flavored with real
ism and will be on Friday night. .The
company will conclude their engage
ment Saturday night with “Putting It
Over,” a comedy drama of the Golden
West.

which have never been presented in
this state is with us this week and
our people who do not take advantage
of the opportunity to see something
well worth seeing, will miss a whole
lot. Mr. Strong is presenting one of
the best stock companies, that ever
