Let’s Keep Nebraska Beautiful Nebraska IS a beautiful state! From the pleasant valleys of the Niobrara, Republican, and Platte, to the sweep of the Sand Hills and up the Wildcat Hills . . . Nebraska has many gorgeous spots. Our Highway Department has spent millions beautifying our roads. Thousands of trees and shrubs have been planted. One thing spoils this scene. Many unthinking people scat ter trash along our roads. Thoughtless persons litter the highway with refuse of all sorts, tossing it from cars. Next time you are out driving, remember the thinking citizen keeps his rubbish until he drops it into one of the convenient receptacles provided by the highway department. The brewing industry, like all other good citizens, urges everyone to keep Nebraska “looking its best.” NEBRASKA DIVISION United States Brewers Foundation 710 First Nat’I Bank Bldg., Lincoln Take the ...Take the Wheel JOHNNY AND LUCILLE.
